Highlights
Pet care experience
Retired teacher who loves animals
After a 25-year career in education, I am ready to fill my time taking care of fur babies. When asked if I'm a cat or dog person, I happily answer--BOTH! I have had the pleasure of loving many cats and dogs--and neighbors' cats and dogs--over the course of a lifetime. My husband and I currently have a 16-year old, 20 lb. rescue mutt. Because she is deaf, partly blind, and moves slowly on her bad days, I am particularly sensitive to elderly dogs. But we also occasionally provide doggie day care for our adult daughter's 9-month old black lab, so I am sharpening my skills with high-energy pups as well!

Safety, trust & environment
My dog gets treated better than my children did. She sleeps in the bed between me and my husband. I always introduce her as the favorite child! I would treat a prospective client's pet the same way.
Ratings and reviews
Tara was incredibly trustworthy, kind, and reliable. She was a great communicator throughout, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thanks so much, Tara!
Tara was AMAZING. She was so attentive to my cat and communicated everything to me. She also sent me so many photos. I would definitely book again!
Tara was so amazing! She was communicative and our cat loved her!
Would book again!!!
Tara is fantastic! I feel safe knowing my kitties are in her hands.
Defintely recommend Tara! She did a great job with my dog and took my request last minute/ even cleaned his paws after walking him (a special request of mine). I really appreciated her help along with her doing such a great job with Bently. Thanks again Tara!!

Schedule
Retired, so my schedule is flexible. While I am mostly interested in routine walkings and check-ins, I am open to overnights depending on if my husband can take care of our dog in my absence. I would appreciate 24 hours notice about an upcoming service but could possibly be available sooner.
