Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring for your pet like my own
I have had a deep love for all animals since I was a child. I have taken care of a variety of breeds of dogs and cats and I developed an understanding of their body language through the time spent around them I had the pleasure of learning a great deal from a licensed dog trainer in Upstate New York who owned a pet store and boarding area for domestic animals, as well as a rehabilitation area for wild animals that were in need. I loved spending time watching him perform the training sessions and learned quite a bit observing them. I am comfortableand and confident around all types of dogs and cats and will ensure their time with me is filled with lots of love and play. So they feel secure, safe and comfortable while you're away or at work. My goal for the pet parent is so you have peace of mind! I enjoy watching the relationship wgrow stronger over time, the level of trust and comfort that comes along with it. I have experience with elderly dogs that require scheduled medicine and frequent potty breaks and extra care to puppies that need to be trained basic skills and socializing skills. My family of animals through the years consisted of a wide range of breeds of dogs and cats from Rottweilers to Basset hounds, and Main Coons to Blue Russians.

I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own, my time with them is about them and their needs. I will replicate and stick to their daily routine, as well as any special instructions you may have so he or she will feel at ease.
Ratings and reviews
Tara was very a real pro with our two dogs. She was prompt gave us regular updates on the dogs with plenty of pictures. Walked them and even cleaned their food bowls! Would highly recommend her.
Tara is so amazing, kind, and attentive!
Tara is absolutely AMAZING! She gave me updates and sent pictures every day. I was so at ease having her stay with my hyper dog, Hank! It was an overall wonderful experience.
Thank you for being so wonderful to our pets!
We have been booking with Tara for almost a year now when we travel and she is the best! She is so loving to our cats and was even able to help us out with an extra unplanned visit when our flight home was cancelled this weekend. We are so glad we have her to take care of our boys when we’re away! ❤️
Just got home from a trip visiting my family out of state. While we were there, we told them how our dog sitter is the best and our dogs don’t even miss us when we are gone because of her. She provides me the updates and my peace of mind!

- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsTara can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- If there are any medical issues, triggers they may have that you were made aware of, how they react around other dogs, if there is any aggressive behavior, their daily routine, and any known allergies. If you have a puppy, I prefer they are already potty trained or in the midst of and know to go outside or use pee pads. The most important thing a client can do is to be completely transparent when it comes to their fur baby, so they get the best care
