Carlsbad is Perfect Puppy Paradise
Pet care experience
We live in a three-bedroom home with a a medium size yard. Our garage is converted to an extra play room. We have a cul-de-sac perfect for running a dog around in a secure location. We are approximately one mile from the beach and close to several "doggie" beaches. We are an active family of six (four children). We are all dog lovers and our dog, Lily, goes just about everywhere with us. We also take her to our kids' baseball games and she sleeps in the older boys' room. We take Lily on one of the dozens of trails throughout Carlsbad including the Batiquitos Lagoon nearby. Our location is a perfect pet paradise for anyone vacationing here. We are a great alternative to a hotel. We have lots of love and fun to give and your pet will be well cared for. We are special because we are very active, fun-loving, adventurous, and enjoy the companionship of dogs. My children will give lots of activity and attention. They drive us crazy wanting more dogs. This opportunity will provide a loving, responsible home for your pet, satisfy their need for more dogs while allowing Lily a doggie friend too. About this sitter: If you aren't comfortable having your dog stay elsewhere, allow me to check on your dog twice a day including walks while you are out of town! I can pick up your mail, water your house plants, turn the lights on and off, all the while caring for your pooch! You get the best of both worlds. I'll send pictures too!

Reviews
Tara is a lovely and gentle woman who loves dogs. Marley was happy to spend a couple days with her.
Tara was great. We used her for our 5yr old Bassett Hound, Bailey (1st time overnight stay for her in someone else’s home). Tara made her (and us) feel comfortable. She let us know what to expect at meeting prior to trip, and was great with Bailey at drop off&pick-up. Bailey was happy & healthy upon our return. Will use her again and do recommend.
Tara was awesome with Kai. She kept him very active and always kept us updated with pics. Would highly recommend!
Tara and her family did a fantastic job watching our dog, Hazel! We got many photo updates throughout her week-long stay. I felt so at ease knowing our pup was happy and well taken care of!

I have a safe fenced yard and pups have open access to the yard during the day and a secure area in the kitchen/living room to come and go. Puppies and small dogs are monitored.

Information Tara P. would like to know about your pet
Do they have any special needs, behaviors or toys or clothing that would make them more comfortable with us. An owners "smell" can bring comfort to a nervous pooch. However, we have so much love and activity around we have never had a dog we couldn't get to warm up to us and calm their fears. We encourage all of our doggy guests to be up to date on their flea meds, have clipped nails for safety purposes and arrive bathed as we will return them bathed if their visits extend over 5 days or had lots of activities that require it.
A typical day
We live in Carlsbad so there are plenty of trails and beautiful, dog-friendly spots in our neighborhood. Sometimes, we walk down to the beach area and walk nearby or play in our cul-de-sac!
