Services
Tara can care for
Availability
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.

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.
Information Tara S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any special needs or routines for your pet. I am happy to oblige! If the fur baby is happy, then I am happy.
A typical day
Walk, toss the ball around, lots of scratches and love. Special treats after behaving well. We sometimes go down to the beach on Lake Michigan.

Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
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!!
Taro was very knowledgeable about Dogs. She was very prompt. My two dogs felt very comfortable around her. She was also very kind.
Thank you so much for taking our pups so early in the morning!!
Tara was wonderful!
