My husband and I are currently residing in Hudson, MA where we exclusively offer pet sitting in your home & dog walks in the area. I also travel throughout the US offering my elite pet sitting & dog training services to long standing clients & new clients looking for a sitter that offers the highest quality of care for their furbabes.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 10, 2023

Tara was great. It was our first time leaving our puppy with a dog sitter but she left us fully relaxed that Loki would be well looked after and did not disappoint. I think he thought of it as a great vacation day. She was very responsive to communications leading up to the date and handled my time zone confusion between Arizona and Utah with no issues. :)

Doggy Day Care • Jun 25, 2023

Tara was a wonderful host for our bernedoodle, Jolene! We were meeting up with family that flew up from Florida and we were grateful to find Tara as it was also a holiday weekend & sitters were limited. She was very communicative, kind and flexible with our pick-up/drop off time encouraging us to enjoy our tour of Antelope Canyon. We loved seeing the photos of our pup cuddling and relaxing with her and her family after a day of hiking the day before. She even gave us helpful advice as were planning to take our pup to a visit to Lone Rock. :) Thank you again, Tara!

Tara is so friendly and kind. Our lab had a great time with Tara, her husband and their three dogs. She got plenty of exercise and love! We highly recommend this sitter!

Schedule

My husband and I currently work full-time remote from home, Monday through Friday. With this current schedule, we use early mornings & evenings for longer walks & hikes, however we have full availability during the day to offer potty breaks & love & attention when needed. Weekends we have fully open, so weekend clients are lucky to have our undivided attention all weekend long!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I can be as flexible as needed to ensure your pets are safe & feel comfortable. I take my work with me, so I can prop up wherever is best in the home & also take time off as needed to ensure full attention is on your pups in the home environment. :)

Pets

A typical day

The area we live in is highly stimulating for dogs that have never experienced the desert - we have stimulation options of all kinds! If dogs are required to be leashed, our neighborhood & nearby dog friendly areas offer great space to roam & sniff & be a dog. If off leash is an option, we're surrounded by thousands of acres of BLM land within walking distance, so we love to offer our dogs & our visiting dogs the chance to run the desert & experience truly being free!

Tara can host up to 2 pets per night
Most importantly, we can only take well socialized dogs on our property, since we have three dogs ourselves. If your dog is only slightly reactive, we're also always happy to do a meet & greet to see how they'd work out for our services. :) I do enjoy taking on a challenge & can even include training sessions along with my sitting services!
