Trusted Care for Your Furry Family

My husband and I have owned dogs and cats our whole lives and I have been taking care of other people’s pets since I was in high school and have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My husband and I are both approved rover pet care takers so one or both of us may be the one to help!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. I always keep pets supervised, ensure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention during walks and outdoor time. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

I’d definitely recommend Tara for dog sitting. I’ve seen how well she takes care of her own dog, and she is clearly responsible, caring, and attentive. Tara loves animals and makes sure pets are well cared for, loved, and happy. I think she would do a great job caring for your dogs.

I hired Tara to care for my two miniature schnauzers, Benjamin and Franklin, on the days I couldn't get home to let them out, and I can't recommend her enough. Full disclosure, she's someone I know personally, but I paid for her services like any other client and she earned every bit of this review. My boys are particular. They flat-out refuse to do their business in the yard and will only go on a proper long walk, which a lot of sitters either don't understand or don't have the patience for. She got it immediately. Instead of rushing them, she takes them out for a real walk every visit, gives them the time they need, and comes back with two happy, relieved dogs. That alone tells you how much she pays attention. She's also incredibly responsive. I'd get a text the moment she arrived, usually with a photo of the boys mid-walk, and she always let me know how they were doing before she left. No guessing, no wondering. Just steady, reliable communication that put me at ease while I was away. What stands out most is that she genuinely loves animals. You can see it in how Benjamin and Franklin react to her now. They get excited when she shows up, which is the highest praise a dog owner can give. If you want someone who treats your dogs like her own and actually pays attention to their quirks, she’s the one!

Tara watches my pets all the time! I have a medium-sized golden doodle and a little cat. She is always willing to care for them and is super particular about making sure they are cared for exactly how I want them to be. She's great and I would recommend her to anybody.

Schedule

I’m a stay at home mom with a husband who works remote so I’m very flexible! This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision and companionship while in my care. We are always happy with last minute bookings, so feel free to reach out!
