Loving your fur babies as my own!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Tara! I am a young professional who has a passion for all animals. I have experience working at dog daycare and boarding centers, pet sitting and owning, and even some pet training. I’ve spent most of my life volunteering at animal shelters and have a big soft spot for big pups. I have one large dog, Delilah, a troublemaker cat, Binx, and our snake, Cuma. I know how hard it is to trust someone else with your fur kiddos so I treat every pet as I would want my own babies treated. I tailor my services to each family preferences and take extra care to keep your pet’s routine in shape. I frequently send updates and pictures as detailed as you’d like. I am quick to fall in love with your kids, so gaining their trust is also a big priority of mine. I love all ages, sizes, and breeds! Each visit with me includes pets and cuddles, play or a busy activity, and I am happy to add on walks as needed (no more than 2 pups at a time). Litter box and poop scooping are part of the job, as far as I'm concerned unless I am instructed against it. I have experience with dog training basics and am happy to continue (or start) any training that your pups have been working on. I, personally, am not a fan of dog parks, so I find other ways to entertain the pups and burn lots of energy. Multi-pet families are my favorite and I offer discounts for more than one pet. As someone who travels often for work, I know that finding a caring sitter that doesn't cost and arm and a leg is vital. Let me know if you are interested and needing to figure out a pet care solution that won't break the bank. I can't wait to meet you and your fur family!
About Tara O.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have had some trouble maker pets in the past and am very careful to ensure their safety is a priority, whether that’s inside or out! For my safety and the pups, I only use short leashes (non-retractable), and I make sure I’ve walked through your process prior to a solo visit so that all the pets are familiar with me and have been introduced. I am not a fan of dog parks, as many accidents happen there, so I focus on alternative play that protects myself and the pets.
Information Tara O. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pup has a favorite toy, schedule, or routine that I can be sensitive to. I’ll need to know any behavioral situations, but am happy to work on training while I visit to stimulate their brain and continue any training progress you’ve made with them while you’re away!
A typical day
I love to make busy treats (like a Kong or a brain teaser toy), love to play fetch or toss in the yard, walks as often as the weather holds up, and play indoors (tug, hide and seek, or treasure hunt) when possible.
