Pet care experience

Murray Hill Dog Mom

I've grown up with dogs and have experience in taking care of many breeds including German Shepherds, Dobermans, Labradors, Golden Retreivers, Bernedoodles Labradoodles, Rat Terriers, Beagles, and Chihuahuas. I'm comfortable with oral medication as well as easing the anxiety of being in a new environment. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.

tara was AMAZING at taking care of my cat, cece, while i was away for a week. not only did tara send plenty of photos and videos while i was gone, she went the extra mile by giving cece lots of treats and even administering eye medication when cece caught an eye infection while i was away. both were not required of her at the time of booking, but she did it anyways out of pure care for my cat! thank you tara!!

Tara is excellent. She was super patient and caring with our dog Lola, who is diabetic. She always kept me updated about how Lola was doing and feeling throughout the day and going above and beyond for our girl ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and make sure dogs have a calm and secure environment while in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always provide regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, playtime, and walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and routine. I love making sure dogs stay both physically and mentally engaged, whether that’s going on walks, exploring new smells, playing games, or just spending quality time together. I’m also happy to stick closely to your dog’s usual schedule so they feel comfortable, safe, and settled while in my care.

I’d love to know about your dog’s usual routine (feeding schedules, walking preferences, medication, energy level), and any specific needs ahead of time so I can make sure they’re as comfortable as possible. I'd also like to know whether they have any anxieties, triggers, or behaviours I should be aware of. The more I know beforehand, the better I can tailor my care to your pet.
