Tara was AMAZING! Tara was informative, kind, and thorough. She has a small dog and we met earlier in the week for our fur babies to interact to see if it would be a fit for my dog. My dog has had some exposure to other dogs, but in PetHotel and Doggy Daycamp. This was a first time my dog interacted with the same dog for a whole weekend. They did well together. Tara updated me with pictures and made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend her as your next dog sitter. ❤️

I was in a pinch trying to find a dog sitter, and Tara responded quickly and immediately put me at ease about booking someone so last minute. She sent daily updates and photos of my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. As a dog owner herself, she understands how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog and what it’s like leaving them with someone new. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with her again! ☺️

Leaving my dear baby is never easy, but sometimes it's necessary. Tara was quick to respond to my initial request for a boarding, and leaving my Bella with her gave me peace of mind, knowing she was in good hands and would be cared for as if she were at home. Tara’s friendly communication and update pictures reassured me of her professionalism and loving care. I will definitely reach out again for boarding in the future.

Tara was amazing! Her home was very welcoming and clean, and she took such great care of my fur baby Dash like he was her own. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent while I was away… it gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for someone loving and trustworthy to care for their pet. Thank you again, Tara!

Safety, trust & environment
