Sitter/Aspiring Marine Veterinarian

Hello my name is Tara aka The Fursitter! I have over 7 years of experience working with animals. I’ve always had pets and taking care of animals is definitely something I both enjoy and am comfortable doing. I’ve worked as a Veterinary Assistant, attended Utica College as a Biology Major (I plan on going back to school and finishing soon!) and have learned a tremendous amount about taking care of a large variety of animals when I volunteered at my local shelter! In my free time I enjoy yoga, hiking, swimming, bike riding, hanging with my husband, reading and lots more! My husband and I are personal servants for two cats; Lois and Nia haha! Lois is super energetic and very affectionate! She enjoys exploring, playing and cuddling. :) Nia is a daddy’s girl! She enjoys laying on my husbands chest while staring deeply into his eyes and giving us baths. Throughout the years I’ve worked with a good variety of animals. I have experience caring for horses, alpacas, turtles, pigs, chickens rabbits and exotic animals!! I'm willing to pet sit for all pets!! When caring for your pet I provide excellent care and always treat them as if they were my own. A routine meet and greet is required before any booking. During that time we will go over feeding and walking schedules, emergency contact information and any other important instructions. During pet stays and dog walkings I like to stick to provided requests and routines for safety and a comfortable sitting while you’re temporarily away. Thank you so much for considering me and I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my clients fur children in their home. I find this to be best because I do have cats and also feel that they feel more comfortable and are happier!

Thank you Tara! You are incredible: reliable, timely, and communicative. Our cats looked healthy and fluffy when we returned after a month. It was the longest we have ever been gone, and you made it work out well for all of us. Thank you. Thank you.

Tara is so reliable. She updates us regularly and provides detailed information about our pets every time she visits our home. We appreciate her greatly.

Tara was amazing with our pup Henry! He felt comfortable and happy with her. She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend Tara if you’re looking for someone caring and reliable to care for your pet!

Super helpful! Was able to help out last minute with a potty break so family could enjoy day out. Even checked his food and water dishes!

Tara can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like to know their feeding schedules and/or regular walking schedules. I also need to know how they are around other animals. What activities does your dog enjoy the most? Does your pet have separation anxiexty or any behavioral quirks I need to know about? Do you have an updated copy of an Emergency Veterinarian and/or Emergency Contact?
