Pet care experience
I have 10 years of pet-sitting experience with everything from pups and kitties to ducks, lobster and opossums! I am a “young” 53-year-old retired educator, and I have been planning to pet-sit in my retirement for quite some time now, which is why I got a start many years back to prep for this day. I have experience with puppies/kittens and senior pets. I have given pet medications, injections and have experience with health issues. I am also CPR and First Aid certified specifically for dogs and cats by the American Red Cross. I have taken care of reptiles, fish, marsupials, crustaceans, amphibians, horses and birds as well. I would love to have the chance to take care of your precious pet, too! I am trustworthy, dependable, caring, and loving. I haven’t met a pet who didn’t like me, even if shy at first! I want to offer what I'd want a pet-sitter to offer my own fur babies. ❤️🐾
Reviews
Tara is AHHH-MAZING!!! I don’t have enough superlatives or space to express how much we appreciate the love Walter, Ruby, and Hazel received under Tara’s care. We had crazy schedules, realtors, deliveries, and contractors in the house while we were gone (in addition to our high maintenance dogs and cat) and Tara managed it all beautifully. Beyond that, we received updates and check ins regularly so we were able to enjoy our trip and relax because our 4-legged family members were happy and safe. We feel so lucky to have found Tara and have recommended her to EVERYONE we know with pets. 5 STARS from our crew!!!🐶🐶🐱
Tara was a wonderful dog sitter for both our senior dog and new puppy. We loved being able to relax while we were away because we knew our pups were in great hands.
Tara is great! Reliable and so kind! Thanks Tara!
Tara is awesome!!! She came in and took care of my pups so professionally and personably! I appreciate her kindness! We had a wonderful experience! Thanks Tara!

I will treat your pets and home with the same care I'd want in my own home for my own pets. I will be sure to give your pup pets and ear massages, or whatever they seem to enjoy, and your cat will get all the purr-invoking pets it desires while I'm there. I will take good note of your notes so that all the details are followed. I will leave your home clean so that when you return from a trip, you have a nice, clean home to come home to. :) If desired, I can send pictures and I’ll leave my cell number with you in case you want to check in at any time.
Information Tara S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any special needs or behaviors that I can account for while caring for your pet. I will always take those into consideration. I want to know their “favorites” too so they get most of what they’re used to! Any written instructions or reminders you can leave for me are very helpful.
A typical day
I will get information from you about your pet’s likes, whether it be cuddling, chasing a ball or frisbee, playing tug of war with a toy, walking around on a leash or running Around in the backyard. Every visit will include lots of pets, rubs, and love.

I retired in May 2021, so my days are devoted to pet-sitting. I can work on Sundays on a limited basis due to my involvement with my church, but other days tend to be more open.
