I work from home during the day, so dogs in our care would rarely be left home during the day and usually only short stints in the evening or weekends. We love to take walks with dogs in our care and play in the backyard.

Pet care experience

My family has been fostering dogs through a local rescue organization for a few years. We have had about 30 foster dogs in our care throughout that time. Due to our frequent travel schedule, we have been unable to commit to adopting a dog of our own right now, so we love to squeeze in time with dogs when we are home. My kids love meeting and caring for new dogs! I work from home during the week, so am able to attend to the dogs in our care during the day. Another bonus is that we don’t have a resident dog, so your dog or dogs in our care will get our full attention. We have a fenced in backyard with a 6ft privacy fence. Lots of space to play fetch!

Tara and her family gave my dog the best care. Poppy was welcomed and I felt good about leaving her in Tara’s care. We are so grateful!
