Pet care experience

Your furry pal's new best friend!

Animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, reptiles, hamsters even arachnids! I would love to offer you top of the line care for your dog(s) and additional pets. My childhood dog was a Boxer named Dempsey and we were best friends. I personally understand the deep bond that you share with your pets and that is how I treat every animal that I care for, as if they were my own! Showing them love, kindness, and respect. I hope to show you and your pets how much I truly cherish each and every animal that I care for. I hope to get to know you and your dog(s) and additional pets in the near future! Feel free to take your trips knowing that I will be giving your pets excellent care and attention throughout the day! So excited to connect! I make sure to follow each dogs daily routine so that they are as comfortable as can be with me while their family is away!

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure that I have reviewed, in great detail, each pet’s routine including: walks, meals, play time, and any health restrictions. I make sure dogs are securely fastened to the leash before leaving for walks. I find it very important to earn an owner and their pet’s trust so I will always make time for a Meet & Greet to review important information and meet all of the pets. I also stay in contact with pet owners while they’re away, providing updates, pictures, videos and any additional pertinent information.

House Sitting • Jun 28, 2026

We just finished our second stint of having Tara take care of our big, anxious boy, Auggie. She is always extremely responsive, sends pics and videos, and does a great job caring for him. I definitely recommend her!

Before dog sitting, I would love to know: - Your dog's routine - Do they have a favorite toy? - Limitations to play and activity - Allergies and/or dietary restrictions I do not have a preference of breed - I love ALL dogs and would be thrilled to care for yours!
