I have a warm heart for cold noses!

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and have had an extensive career in the Animal Health Industry, selling veterinary pharmaceuticals for 25 years, and also working as a client services representative at a busy emergency and referral veterinary center. Not only did I grow up with dogs but I have had my own dogs as an adult, which I actually got because the family I was sitting for could no longer keep them and asked if I would like to make it a permanent situation. I cared for both of them into their senior years and became proficient at managing their medical conditions that arose from aging (diabetes and canine cognitive disorder). My two boys required very extensive care and routine insulin administration for my diabetic as well as additional medications that I became very proficient in administering, even if they were particular about taking pills, etc. I am very knowledgeable in how to manage multiple dogs at once, how to keep dogs safe in various environments, and a good eye for anything that may indicate they may not be feeling their best. When I had my guys, I would often trade sitting and walking favors with my fellow dog owners so I have had a lot of experience sitting for and walking other dogs throughout my life. My goal is to give peace of mind to dog owners that they can go on vacation, business trips, day trips, or just out anywhere, and they will know that their dog is in great, loving hands.

Tara is so attentive to our dogs. I would definitely book her again when the girls cannot come along!

Tara was great! Took great care of our girls and home. She texted us pet updates throughout our trip.

Tara is amazing. She took such good care of our girl, providing daily pictures and updates. Super communicative and so thoughtful. She even left us a welcome home note with a synopsis of how her stay with Rosie went. We will definitely be asking her to watch our girl again. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Tara was prompt, attentive, came out to meet us and our dogs prior to sitting with them while we were at work, and carefully completed all requested tasks. Our dogs absolutely loved her. She sent a LOT of photos, which was great. Would be comfortable working with Tara again.

I like to do walks on pet friendly walking trails or around the neighborhood. If they enjoy fetch or other games, I will play those too. If they just want to snuggle and get pet, I love doing that as well.
