I’m newly semi-retired after a career in big tech, which means I now have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your fur baby. I’m available most days and can easily accommodate walks, check-ins, or pet sitting based on your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your normal routines so your pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each home and always keep things clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection while making sure your pet stays safe and happy. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have soft spot for all animals. 10% of everything I make off Rover is donated to a local shelter.

Information Tara T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special quirks or sensitivities your pet may have—such as being nervous around skateboards or not liking their paws touched. Understanding these details helps me make each visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible. My goal is to treat your pet with the utmost respect, patience, and love every time I see them.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor each visit to their needs and energy level. For energetic pups, we’ll enjoy fun walks exploring the neighborhood, playing, and getting that extra energy out. For shy pets, I’m patient and gentle, giving them time to come to me—once they’re comfortable, they’ll get plenty of love, attention, and pets.

Your Pet’s Second Best Friend

Pet care experience

I grew up on a small farm where I helped care for animals that were injured, abandoned, or simply needed extra attention. Because of that experience, I developed a huge soft spot for animals and a deep respect for their individual needs. I’m confident caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Tara is amazing! Would absolutely book her again. Super professional, always comes prepared and Winnie immediately fell in love with her. Took such good care of my girl, always had peace of mind when I knew Tara would be stopping by to walk her. She’s the best!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
