Patient and experienced dog lover

Pet care experience

I enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and sizes! I raised my own chihuahua-pomerian mix from 8 months old until 14 years old. As my pup matured, he had issues with collapsing trachea and congestive heart failure, so I am comfortable with senior dogs that require special attention and medications. I also have plenty of experience caring for friends' dogs and my sister's two chihuahuas. I was so happy to find Rover because I would love to help others take care of their fur babies. I am happy to take your dog on a nice walk or play with him/her at the park. I am also offering housesitting services to make sure everything is maintained while you are away. My schedule is quite flexible. Please contact me if interested and I'd be happy to figure out something that works for both of us!

I have been very lucky to rely on Tara to care for my dogs, Luke and Fiona. As a dog "mom" herself for close to 14 years, I always felt confident in Tara's responsibility and loving care when it came to watching Luke and Fiona for overnight stays and dog walking services. She listened carefully to the needs of my dogs, she kept in touch with me through messages and photos to let me know how the dogs were doing, and she always made me feel comfortable knowing I could reach out to her anytime. Tara is kind, honest, hard working, loving, compassionate and I believe all of these wonderful qualities would make her an amazing dog sitter for any dog owner interested in her services!

I had to take a last minute trip to see my grandfather, and was able to leave my pup with Tara for over 2 weeks. Not only did she walk him twice a day, but she also was kind enough to send me updates. She was very careful with him around other dogs too. I felt comfortable, and would highly reccomend her.

Information Tara S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know a little bit about a dog's personality - is she/he active? playful? shy? Does she/he require any special needs? I do not have a breed preference.

A typical day

I like to find local parks to walk around. I would also be happy to take your dog to a local dog park to play with other dogs.
