Safety, trust & environment

I have my own very active 7 mo kitten at home. We have a strict play schedule to make sure he can get enough activity throughout the day. I understand stimulation and pet time is important, even when stopping by for feeding/walking visits. I can accommodate various feeding schedules, administer meds, and take frequent potty breaks for those who need.

Information Tara R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are special spots that your pet likes to visit on walks. I find sticking to a routine may be helpful. Please let me know about your pets comfortability with other dogs while on walks. Do they need to be separated/stay on other side of the street? Do they do better in a low-volume area? All helpful to provide best care!

A typical day

My favorite activity is walks by the lakefront. I am a pro at “tug-of-war,” too. For kitties, some can be shy, but I am happy to play with them if they are open to it.

Pet care experience

In addition to taking care of my own dog in the past, I have been a dog foster for 1 year. I specialized in working with “unicorns” or pets that need extra attention (crate training, leash training, etc). I have my own kitty at home, so I am available to come for drop-in visits only.

Tara was so easy to work with and I really appreciated her frequent updates without me having to reach out first. She was so easy to work with and I'm looking forward to her help in the future whenever she's available!

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.
