Information Tara P. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference for breeds, just a good natured animal. Shy is no problem, I can wait for them to open up when they are ready. Anything that might trigger the animal would be good to know, as well as allergies.

A typical day

I'm a big fan of cuddles, so lots of those. I find that most pups love a game of fetch. For the kitties I find that a good brushing usually gets me on their side.

Auntie Tara for furry ones

Pet care experience

I have a love for all little things, dogs, kids and kitties. I have a flexible schedule and can work weekdays and weekends. I am fully vaccinated and have had my booster shot. Whatever your needs are for your furry loved one I will always do my best. Walking, brushing, cuddling and playing are things that make them know they loved. I'm an animal lover and a proud Auntie to 10 beautiful souls. Anyone left in my charge gets my attention and affection. Every one is different and I will take my time to learn what your animal needs and make sure they get it. As a child I always wanted a pet. When I was a teenager we finally got a cat. Mr Fluffy wasn't always the easiest to deal with but he taught me many things. In my 20s my step brother had a cat (Shadow) and a dog (Dusty) and they were the sweetest animals. I have always been filled with an abundance of love and affection that only seems to grow no matter how much I share with those around me. I'm currently working full time but my schedule is flexible. I currently have a few regular clients but I can visits at least 4 households per day. I care for my furry clients in their own households. I find that most animals prefer to stay home, so I come to them in their comfort zone.

As first time users I'll admit we were a bit hesitant to try this service. But after meeting Tara and giving her a walk through of the house and her meeting Dot we felt a lot better. Tara asked meaningful questions about our requirements and Dot's needs and made notes of our answers. While we were away we got regular updates on how he was doing as well as photos. No hesitation using Rover and Tara again. Raymond

Tara is highly reliable and attentive. She provides great care for our cat and keeps us updated on everything happening at home while we are away. I highly recommend her for cat sitting!

Tara took care of our 2 cats while we were away 2 weeks. She had good attention to detail and great communication + providing updates on everything. She also helped water my plant and check for any mail. Thank you Tara!
