Just love animals <3

Pet care experience

I’ve bred and showed dogs since I was 9, trained puppies, worked with highly reactive dogs, and have tons of care experience. I used to bathe dogs at a pet store, and am now a manager at another pet store.

Tara did drop in visits with my pup while I was out of town for a few days and she was great! My dog instantly loved her and Tara took great care of her. I will definitely hire her again in the future! Thanks, Tara!

Safety, trust & environment

I value building trust with pets that I care for, whether in my home or theirs. I enjoy learning lots about their personalities so that I can care for them better. Ex: if they like other animals, if they can have treats (what kinds), how long they like to take their walks, if loud noises bother them, etc.

Information Tara S. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know the dog’s regular routine so that I can try to keep it similar and reduce the stress that a family being away can sometimes cause. I like to know how they react while walking to noises, other dogs, and people, as well as any dietary restrictions, favorite places to go, and favorite ways to interact.

A typical day

I always do my best to learn the dog’s habits and personality to find ways to further enrich their days. If they’re other dog friendly, I like to take them to dog parks or even on hikes with me. I love to play with them and sometimes brush them out if they enjoy it. I do work at a pet store, so I will sometimes take them there on days off to grab a treat or explore the fun toys.
