Pawsome Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I grew up and currently live in Amherst. I provide pawsome fun in the Amherst/Snyder area. ** Currently, I am mostly booked around lunchtime Monday through Friday. Feel free to reach out anyways and we can see if we can make it work 😊** Growing up, I was lucky enough to have dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently, in addition to pet sitting, I work part time as a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital. Previously, I managed a dog boarding facility for 7 years. As the manager I oversaw all activities and made sure that all dogs were comfortable during their stay and got the attention and love they needed. I am comfortable with all breeds and simply have a ridiculous love for all dogs. I love to snuggle, play, or just hang out with them and I am experienced at walking dogs of all sizes. I live with my husband, children and beautiful dogs Vixie and Cora that we recently adopted! Sadly, my beloved beagle in my picture passed on. I am confident your dog(s) will feel loved and safe when I come over to play with them or take them out on an adventure.

Tara is absolutely amazing every single time! She takes the best care of our huskies and is attentive to their needs. She is our first choice every time as my fur babies absolutely love her. I know they are in the best hands possible when Tara is taking care of them!!

Information Tara S. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if your dog(s) have any health concerns or anxieties. I want to be informed so I know how to give them the best care! I’d also like to know if your dog (s) is comfortable around children, as there may be occasional times I need to bring my children, who love dogs too, with me on a visit!

A typical day

A drop in visit can include potty breaks, feedings, medications if needed, snuggles, inside and outside playtime with toys and/or a walk too! A walk visit is great exercise and includes sniffs, tail wags and an adventure outside!
