LOYAL, EXPERIENCED, PETLOVER4LIFE!

Pet care experience

30 years of total experience. Pet medical training as a veterinarian assistant (7 years). behavioral and obedience training (20 years). Pet Sitting (30 year). Some In-home grooming services available. All pet sitting services covered and pet-related errands, not a problem. I am a single mother working at BJHS 9:30 A.M.-3:30 P.M Monday-Friday. Available around those hours including weekends and holidays. Spring break, Christmas Break, Summer Vacation. Her dad takes her every other weekend. If you are okay with my 9 (dog trainer in progress) year old daughter helping that would be appreciated on specific occasions. Currently I cannot take dogs in to my home. I am willing to take dogs to park. I walk my dog around the lake at White Oak Park in Bloomington. (1 Mile)

Tara is a lifesaver and so so good and caring with my pups. I can't thank her enough for all the love and joy she brings my furbabies. Thank you Tara!!

Tara is extremely reliable and cares for my dog as though he were her own! She goes above and beyond what is asked of her! There is a lot to be said when you can trust someone with your dog like I trust Tara! Can’t say enough good!

Information Tara M. would like to know about your pet

Anything relevant about your pet's care is just as relevant to Us! No need is too small or big! The more I know the better! So make notes and bring on the checklist!

A typical day

I love to exercise a dog's mentality as much as his/her physicality. Toys, games, training, walking and socializing are just some examples of how I do that. Even car rides if permissible and field trips to the lake if capable. Whatever quirk your dog or cat has, I will accommodate that just so they are fulfilled while you are away from them.
