Pet care experience

Cozy family care ❤️

I’ve been working with animals all my life and I’d love to meet yours! I’m ready to exceed all expectations filling your pet care needs. I’ve worked with the Humane Society in their foster program and researched many rearing/training techniques and tend to build rapport and get along with animals quickly. If you have any questions, concerns, or notes on how to be better please let me know! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My shifts are rarely over six hours but they’re very flexible as well I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for a guest in or out. I also have 3 cats that enjoy/are very good at hiding as they’re very non confrontational

Doggy Day Care • Juni 27, 2026

Tara and her family were amazing and treated my dog like family. Her animals were so friendly, well mannered, and got along with my dog. She is very old and needed tender care. Would recommend and will use Tara every time

Tara and family were amazing! We had a crazy weekend with several twists n turns. I don't know what we would have done without their services. It was amazing not having to worry about how Stormy was doing.

They are really, really wonderful dog sitters and people. I feel very save leaving my Eleven in their hands whenever we’re out of town. They’re great at communicating and sending photos. Eleven loves being there.
