Safety, trust & environment

I spend a great deal of time getting to know the best way to interact with the animals I care for in order to build a trusting relationship with both pets and their owners.

Information Tara P. would like to know about your pet

I like to spend some time with the dog owner and the dog together so I can get to know their preferred dynamic, personality and preferences for interaction, play and care.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the local parks in the area with lots of room to roam and/or dog parks around the area. Swimming, running, playing fetch are all activities that I love engaging with when caring for dogs.

Pet care experience

I have grown up taking care of puppies and dogs in our family my entire life including Potty & Behavioral Training. We have an amazing yellow lab named Buddy that I adore and love caring for every day! He is a member of our family and we love including him in all of our outdoor activities and trips. A lot of our friends and family rely on us for dog care, walks, help with training and overnight pet care which we love! I am at home during the day with a big fenced yard right next to a huge park so we are the perfect choice for dog sitting, walking, boarding, etc 😄 100% safe environment and care for your pet. I know that our pets are important and loved members of the family and I will treat your pup just like they were my own!

Tara really helped us out by taking care of Monarch when our normal sitter was unavailable and we had a funeral to attend to. Monarch gets a little anxious and jumpy with new people but Tara didn’t give up on him and eventually won him over. Tara took good care of Monarch.

Tara is awesome! Always lets me know how my dog is doing on her walks which is very important while we’re training. Dolly behaves better for Tara than she does for me! 🤣

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
