Pet care experience

Your Fur Babies' New Best Friend!

I've always had a unique connection with animals - wether it's with my own pets (most of which have been rescued strays), helping lost pets find their way home or pet sitting for friends and family. They always seem to find a way into my life. 🐾 Currently a pet mom (with the help of my partner) to two cats, a dog and a puppy. I know every pet is special and being away can be stressful. That's where I come in! With my flexible schedule I can easily fill in those gaps to make sure your fur baby gets the care and attention they deserve. 🐕 I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes and ages of both cats and dogs. 💛 Does your pet struggle with anxiety, trust issues or have special needs? I love getting to know each animal and their quirks – meaning the care they receive is individually tailored to each animal. I look forward to getting to know and care for your fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment

My number one priority when caring for your fur baby is their health and happiness. Not only will I make sure they are fed, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and bathroom breaks, but I will make sure they have plenty of love and attention when caring for them.

Tara was great. Shadow and Angel both love to see her and seemed really excited when I got home from work. They even both had a little accident with one getting sick the first day, and I really appreciate Tara cleaning up as best she could so I didn't come home to too bad of a mess. Great communication and my babies definitely got great care.

House Sitting • May 31, 2026

Tara was so great with my kiddos! My boy is not easy at first, and she was very patient with him and by the end, they were snuggling. She also gave my girl some medicated eye drops she needed. She sent lots of updates and pictures and took great care of my house. Thanks so much Tara!

Tara, as always is an angel to our pups! They love her and I always feel comfortable leaving home knowing she’ll take great care of them :)

Calendar and availability

Schedule

A majority of my work is contract work that I do for myself, which means I have a relatively flexible schedule. For dog walks I have the ability to do as long or short of walk as needed, however I do take into consideration factors, such as heat, when planning the time of walks for the health and safety of the dog.
