Hi! I'm Tara. I’m an animal lover, experienced pet care provider, house sitter, energy healer, and serial entrepreneur with the freedom to make my own hours + work from anywhere. That being said, you can have peace of mind knowing there will be someone caring, loving, and responsible watching over your fur babies most hours of the day! I often form instantaneous bonds with animals within our first meeting, and will always treat your pet as if it were my own. I enjoy interacting with them, staying active with them, and cuddling with them! I also do Reiki, so if your pets are feeling anxious at all, I can bring in some calming energy for them! My relationships with my clients and their pets are built on a foundation of trust, mutual respect, and reliability! _____________________________________ I’ve been caring for pets since I was a little kid – I grew up with dogs (3 golden retrievers/huskies), a rabbit, hamsters, rats, goldfish, and a turtle, and would also take care of my neighbor’s cats, rabbit, and ducks whenever they were away. When I quit my 9-5 job at the end of 2012 to start my own design + marketing business, I decided to try pet care + house sitting to help me pay my bills while I built my dreams. This turned out to be a great experience, and I ended up doing dog walks, drop-ins + pet-sitting on the side for many years out in San Diego, CA At the end of 2019, I moved back home to the East Coast and started rebuilding my life in the southern New Hampshire area. In July of 2022, I found myself missing all my furry friends, so I decided that maybe it was time to start offering pet care on the East Coast. So I updated this profile, and within 6 months, I had a full-time pet care business. It has been going strong for over 3 years now! My experiences over the years have been positive, and I feel honored and grateful to have connected with so many kind and compassionate people and their adorable pets! I am still running my design + marketing business, which I can do from anywhere with wifi! This makes me a perfect fit for you if you’re looking for an experienced and professional pet care provider who has a flexible schedule, can travel to you, work from home, sleep over, and be with your pet(s) most hours of the day! _____________________________________ MY SERVICES + WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT Below is an overview of my services + what you can typically expect from each service.
