WFH Dog Mom

Mostly remote worker and unabashed animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of all breeds. Mom to two very spoiled dogs Willie Nelson and Jolene who would love a pal to hang out with. I know that displaying patience, affection, and an empathetic nature is essential to happy, confident pups. In sum, I’ll treat your fur baby like my own and ensure they get the most out of their time with me! Dogs are allowed anywhere the humans are including all furniture and beds. We do have stairs in the townhouse which is good to know in case your pup is afraid/not physically capable of walking up and down. I'm able to carry dogs up to 30lbs up and down the steps, however. PLEASE NOTE: Drop-off times cannot be scheduled earlier than 7AM. Pick-up times cannot be scheduled later than 9:30 PM. Please book another day if you need an earlier or later drop-off/pick-up.

Tara makes your dog happy and feel at home! She is very easy to communicate with and we always try to book with her when we leave town. We know Jelly is in good hands.

Tara was great with Finn! This was her second time watching him and I could tell he was a happy boy and had a blast with her pups. She sent consistent updates and pics and I would love to book with her again.

Must be good with other dogs! I have no breed preferences but it always good to know if your dog(s) have any triggers like cats, motorcycles, small children, other dogs, etc. so we can avoid any unnecessary anxiety or adverse reaction.
