New sitter eager for work!
Pet care experience
Large breed and puppy experience- we just raised our German Shepherd from 8wks and trained him ourselves! I've grown up with dogs and ever since living on my own I have added two cats and one dog to my fur family. I'm looking forward to adding another pup to make use of the experience I've gained from my first.
Reviews
Tara was our dog sitter for years. Always responsible and reliable. She cared for them like they were her own, and our dogs loved her like family!
Tara is absolutely fabulous at taking care of animals. I own a 1 year and 6 month old German Shepherd with explosive energy that needs daily exercise. She walks him and has an even better control over him than I do (trust me I know it makes me look bad). Very kind and gentle individual and I do 10/10 recommend!!!!
Tara is so great with her dog Shoto! She has trained him to be so friendly and polite. He is actually the most well behaved dog I’ve ever met. In addition to being a great dog/cat mommy she interacts well with all of my family’s pets even though their sizes/temperaments vary. I know they are in good hands with Tara!

Safety, trust & environment
Our home is animal-proofed with baby gates for separation as needed and have a 6ft wooden privacy fenced yard. Even though the yard is small, we keep it well maintained and have lots of fun things to do inside and out.

Information Tara R. would like to know about your pet
I want to know how your dog interacts with other dogs. If they aren't super social, that's fine! I'm happy to accommodate and keep my dog separate. However, if you are looking to let your pup socialize then I'd love to provide that as well by including my own dog in daily activities.
A typical day
We take our own dog out to one of a few local parks a few times a week to roam and sniff and play fetch. If that sounds good to your pup, then I'm happy to take a 30ft leash and let your dog join us safely! We play in the yard, the water hose and flirt toy are the favorites, and also walk the neighborhood at least once a day. A tired dog is a good dog!

My day already fits around my own dog's exercise schedule to keep him calm and sane, and would love to be able to provide more stimulation and exercise to other people's animals that need it.
