Information tara s. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your pet has any medicinal needs or is scared of anything, so I can accommodate them and make them feel comfortable.

A typical day

We can go on walks to the dog park and chase balls or play tug of war or cuddle on the couch. Since I work remote, I have plenty of time to keep them entertained!

The Safe Sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up with cats, dogs, ferrets, and an African Grey parrot. I currently have a cat of my own and understand what it means to be a great caretaker. Our pets know more than we give them credit for, and it's important to show them love and kindness and to be a good friend to them. I promise your animals will be well loved and taken care of! I work full time remote right now and have the flexibility to entertain your sweet pet at my home, check in on them at your home, or take them on walks. I am also able to keep them overnight. We have space to keep your furry friend's kennel inside, so they can sleep comfortably at night, or you can bring their bed so they have something familiar from home. My kids love animals and will dote on your pet and keep them entertained for hours. If your pet loves cuddles, we can provide endless cuddles! ☺️ My cat is a friend to any animal, although she prefers playing with dogs :) My home is also non-smoking. I currently work from home, so I’m able to be fully present for your pet. Walks and playtime is more Manageable with my flexible schedule. I currently live in an apartment, so there’s not a fenced in area for your pet to run around, but because I work from home, I can take them on plenty of walks or take breaks to play with them throughout the day.

Tara was amazing with my pets, Corvus and Tito. She kept me updated regularly, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and it was clear they were well cared for. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Tara was great with Onyx! Sharing photos and was able to take a last minute request after a cancellation which was greatly appreciated.

Tara was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Tango! As first-time users of the Rover app, I was initially a bit nervous about letting someone into my home—especially with a highly anxious pup. But Tara put us at ease right away. She responded quickly, came by the same day to meet me, and was incredibly punctual and attentive to all of my requests. Thanks to her, my first Rover experience was seamless. Thank you Tara!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
