House Sitting • May 20, 2026

Tara was awesome! Hung out with the pup the whole time and took great care of the house. Always communicated well and was overall a very positive experience. We’ll definitely ask her to hang with him again!

Tara was great with our 2 dogs - a Doberman and German Shorthair Pointer. She was great with communication and actually being at the house w the dogs to spend time w them.

Tara has been great to have watch our pups while we are away. She’s very responsive and makes sure to communicate with us often.

Tara is amazing with animals. She’s watched both my dog and my cat many times and I know they’re always in good hands when I leave them with her! On top of longer stays, she walks my dog when I need the extra help. My dog isn’t the easiest to walk due to her old age but Tara take the time to make sure she’s always comfortable. Even when she’s just walking my dog, I know she gives my cat a lot of attention and playtime; she’s always going above and beyond with my animals and treats them like her own. I can’t recommend her enough!

Tara is a life-long dog owner who loves taking her own dog out to hike and swim. She's great at keeping dogs active and entertained, and I would absolutely trust her with my own dog. As someone who has been a sitter on Rover for a few years I would recommend her for any dog, including high-energy doggies that need extra attention!

Tara R is a warm and caring young woman. Growing up always having a dog as a part of their family she knows the responsibilities and love it takes to have a happy furry family member. She is dependable and trustworthy as well and I have had her take care of our family dog many times. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Tara as a pet sitter or dog walker for your organization!!! Jenny W
