Will <3 your furbabies like my own

Pet care experience

I have a cat and a dog myself! I’ve had my cat since he was a kitten. My black cat is 12 years old and super skittish, so I know how important it can be to know how to approach and work with cats. My dog, on the other hand, is ~50lbs and full of energy! She’s a pitsky german shepherd mix, so I also know how to handle that aspect of things :)

I've had the pleasure of having Tara look after my dog, Buddy, and I couldn't be more pleased. Tara's kindness and genuine love for animals is wonderful. She treats Buddy with such care and affection, making sure he's always happy and comfortable. Also, her attention to detail makes a huge difference. Additionally, her own pets are sweet and exceptionally well-trained. I wholeheartedly recommend Tara as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.

With Tara, your pets are not only in safe hands but also under the care of someone who values clear and open communication.

I would entrust Tara with anything, especially my fur baby! She is incredibly responsible and caring with everything she does. I've seen firsthand how Tara treats her own pets and I know that any other furry creatures left in her care will be safe and sound. She is smart and very caring, as well as devoted and diligent. Anyone would be lucky to have her taking care of their pets.

I integrate pet-care into my daily and weekly routine. Although I am a UCSB student who works part-time on weekday mornings, I allocate time to travel within the Santa Barbara area for feeding, walking, and potty breaks, adjusting as needed around my work schedule. I will communicate my academic and work schedule with you to ensure your fur baby gets all the attention they need!
