Safety, trust & environment

I currently am not offer any boarding services at this time. I would love to be able to take your pets into my home but I prefer house sitting at the time where they’re most comfortable.

Information Tara R. would like to know about your pet

I would love a little background on the dog. Important information I’m looking for is their ability to walk on a leash whether there is pulling or if the dog is difficult to walk or not. If the dog is accustomed to other dogs and plays well. I’d also like to know if the dog or cat has an special needs or medical issues that need to be monitored. No breed preferences.

A typical day

I will take them on walks their neighborhood and local parks. Dogs will get plenty play time and time to potty. Depending on the dog and their availability to play with other dogs, trips to the dog park to play as well if permitted by owner.

Passion for working with animals

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life, dogs and cats and etc. I’ve taken a course on Animal CPR. I am able to administer shots and give animals oral medications. I’ve worked litters of puppies or just one on one with puppies. I volunteered at local shelters, walking the dogs and playing with cats. Through these experiences I’ve to learned to work, walk and play with all types or breeds. I do not discriminate against any breed.

Tara was a great help taking care of our cats! She sent tons of pictures and even my shy guy came out for her. I really appreciated her communication throughout the weekend we were away. I will definitely ask Tara to pet sit again in the future 😊 thanks, Tara!

Tara was wonderful with our puppy. She was very personable on our meet and greet providing us with valuable advice with training our pup. She was on time and her communication throughout each session was certainly appreciated.

Tara did a great job taking care of everyone! The situation was definitely not ideal as the house is being remodeled and doesn’t have a working kitchen, but Tara was very understanding about it all. She made the extra effort to make sure that when the dogs might be locked up for longer than normal, she could still come by to let them out!

I can’t thank Tara enough for coming to our rescue at the last minute! When we found ourselves in a bind, she stepped in without hesitation and took wonderful care of my two dogs. Her promptness and reliability turned a potentially stressful situation into a smooth experience. My two dogs were so well looked after.Tara truly goes above and beyond, and we are incredibly grateful for her help. Highly recommend! Thank you, thank you and thank you!
