I hired Tara to care for my two miniature schnauzers, Benjamin and Franklin, on the days I couldn't get home to let them out, and I can't recommend her enough. Full disclosure, she's someone I know personally, but I paid for her services like any other client and she earned every bit of this review. My boys are particular. They flat-out refuse to do their business in the yard and will only go on a proper long walk, which a lot of sitters either don't understand or don't have the patience for. She got it immediately. Instead of rushing them, she takes them out for a real walk every visit, gives them the time they need, and comes back with two happy, relieved dogs. That alone tells you how much she pays attention. She's also incredibly responsive. I'd get a text the moment she arrived, usually with a photo of the boys mid-walk, and she always let me know how they were doing before she left. No guessing, no wondering. Just steady, reliable communication that put me at ease while I was away. What stands out most is that she genuinely loves animals. You can see it in how Benjamin and Franklin react to her now. They get excited when she shows up, which is the highest praise a dog owner can give. If you want someone who treats your dogs like her own and actually pays attention to their quirks, she’s the one!

Tara is dependable, kind, and very easy to work with. She’s someone you can trust to follow through and take her responsibilities seriously. She communicates well and has a very genuine, caring personality that makes her great in roles that involve trust and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend her.
