Pet care experience

I’ll make them comfy away from home

Very laid back and loving environment. I look over my mothers 3 golden doodles and 2 Yorkies often. Grew up taking care of animals. I do work a full time job 8:30-5:30 Mon- Friday with the availability to to check in mid-day with your fur baby. Early mornings, evenings, and weekends are best for walks. I can do check-ins anytime. I have two children that love dogs and will provide tons of fun but are also mature enough to give space if it is needed during an overnight stay. I am looking forward to meeting you guys! I am here to help any way I can so please let me know how I can help you and your furbaby feel comfortable when you’re apart! :) I currently work from home Mon-Friday. I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I am available for AM, mid-day, Evening walks and drop ins as well. I have a fenced yard at my home. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to give pets and potty breaks throughout the day. I have one dog that lives in the home who loves to play!

Tara was an absolute delight to have at our home! She was very kind, patient with our pups and responsive with updates and pictures. We will absolutely book her again, and highly recommend her to anyone nervous about leaving their furbabies/home or for first time Rover users. 10/10, will book again!

She was amazing! Our pup got sick the day before we had to go out of town and she said she was available and dropped by everyday to give her medication! She was a life-saver!

We absolutely love Tara! She does a wonderful job with our mastiff Roxy, our 2 golden doodles Lola and Blanco and our little yorkie Sophie! It's so refreshing knowing we don't have to worry about our furry children while working or just when we want to get away for the weekend!

My family went away on vacation and we had Tara check on our pet cat Puffball. She did an amazing job. She came by to check on him 2 x a day. She made sure he was fed, played and spent time with him. I would 1000% have her watch my cat anytime.

I highly recommend Tara for dog sitting! She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. She is my go-to when I’m traveling. My Rennie adores her and that means everything to me. From her first interaction withy girl I knew that this was more than a job to her- she has a passion for animals! The peace of mind in knowing that my dog is taken care of, playing, happy, and enjoying their time in my absence is priceless.
