Pet care experience

I’m excited to meet your pets!

I’ve had friends and family who let me take care of their dogs. I have experience with small and medium dogs. I am up for a challenge with large dogs. I can walk, bathe, feed, water, and give medications to dogs. I’ve had experience with my dog who’s had severe ear infections and a sensitivity to chicken. I also have experience with farm animals like horses, cows, sheep, and goats. I have over 13 years of experience on how to take care of farm animals. I can feed, clean troughs and fill with fresh water, exercise, and anything else they need. I love helping people and taking care of your pet(s) would be an honor.

Tara takes such good care of my Beau and my home. She goes above and beyond. When I come home he is chipper and happy and not sad and confused (like has happened with other sitters). She gives him everything he needs, especially the cuddles!

What a great experience with Tara, she was so impressive and good with our dogs. It is hard to trust just anyone with our animals, especially since one of our dogs is deaf. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a qualified dog sitter.

Tara and Beau had a great time while I was gone! She sent me lots of updates and photos to help reassure me during the week. When I got home, he was looking around the house for her and wagged his tail when I asked him where Tara was! Tara is so professional and caring. She’s a real dog lover just like me:)

Tara was very good dog sitting for us. She was very communicative and loving with our pets. She sent us updates daily with pictures on how things were going. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog family in her hands while we traveled for two weeks. I would recommend her to any one needing a pet sitter.

Tara is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our cats while we were out of town for the holidays. She is prompt, communicative, kind, and professional in all her interactions. This was our first time ever using Rover so we were a tad nervous to book, but as soon as we met Tara we knew it was a great fit! We will definitely be booking Tara to watch our cats on our future trips.
