Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with animals small and large, and young or old! I am happy to sit, or drop-in at your home, and will walk your pup for whatever amount of time you need and will be mindful of their needs, limitations, fears, or triggers! I have experience with dog training and behavioral issues and can work with dogs who require stronger boundaries, solo walks or those who have special dietary requirements. I have been a passionate animal lover my entire life and have had pets since I was a kid. I would love to help your pet get some extra exercise in the great outdoors, or in-house play and feeding. Whatever your babe needs!

Tara was great! She did great with our pup who can be a bit of a princess. Appreciated having her watch our dog in our home while we were away. Would recommend!

We are so happy to have found Tara to care for our unique crew while we’re out of town. Two of our pets require specialty care, so finding the right person was important to us. Tara went above and beyond to ensure our pets received the best care, so much so that I returned home feeling like I had an actual vacation knowing everyone was happy and healthy. She is a a true animal lover, a cat whisperer, and overall a wonderful and thoughtful person. I was blown away at her dedication to making sure everyone was happy. My husband even joked asking if she was even at our home it was left so clean. 100% would recommend and looking forward to having her over again.

Tara was so great with my dog, Sadie. She gave me lots of updates throughout the day and Sadie got lots of love and attention! Would highly recommend.

Tara is always amazing with my dog and takes such good care of her while I'm away. My dog is on a couple of medications and there has never been an issue with Tara administering them. She keeps me updated and doesn't hesitate to ask questions. My house is always cleaner when I get home than it was when I left. I highly recommend Tara as a doggo and house sitter.

Another amazing visit from Tara! She always takes such great care and goes the extra mile—little things make a big difference. As soon as we know we’ve got Tara booked in to look after our little girl, there is literally zero stress. Cannot recommend her enough! 😁
