Safety, trust & environment

I can walk, feed, play, and nurture your pet to your expectations and directions. I personally have 3 dogs that are happy and healthy and range in ages who are playful and well mannered. I keep them on a strict eating and play schedule so they can be their best selves.

Information Tara N. would like to know about your pet

It's always good to know how your pet will react to strangers. I have the patience it takes to win them over. How does your pet walk on a leash? Where is a good place that they will feel secure? What DON'T they like? Are they reactive? What type of training, if any, would you like for me to know so that they are as comfortable with me as possible.

A typical day

I am an avid runner/walker. So taking walks with dogs is always an added bonus for me as well as them. A good game of tug or fetch is a great time for my personal dogs to play (they will play for hours) I love to play stimulating games with the pets that I watch and try to keep them in an environment that is secure and feels and is safe for them.

This is the third time that Tara took care of our treasured cat, Charlie. It is not easy to leave your pet for weeks; but when Tara is on the case, we can rest easy. Tara is dependable and a true animal lover. We adore her spirit and positivity. Charlie usually makes a mess, but we always come home to a tidy home. We plan to book Tara again and again. Thanks, Tara.

Tara is so professional and reliable. Her warm personality comes shining through. This is the second time Tara looked after our very shy cat, Charlie. We came home to happy cat. Charlie's space was tidy and clean. My husband and I have every confidence in Tara. We cannot say enough positive comments about her. We will ask for Tara every time we go away.

Tara was great! Nice first impression. Arrived and took care of my two pups as instructed. Will be using her again.
