Vet. Tech. & your pet's new BFF !

I have been a veterinary technician for over 15 years! I am an animal lover who enjoys dedicating my life helping our furry friends! I am also a mom of 2 children. I am open to pet sitting in our home, dog walks, house visits, pet day care, etc. I am able to administer medications, orally or injectables, give subcutaneous fluids, and much more. I have been a pet owner my whole life, and currently have one dog-friendly Australian Shepherd. I do have the option of allowing my pet to stay with a family member if your pet does not like other dogs! I am flexible with your pets' every needs and would enjoy looking after your furry loved ones like they were my own.

Our 3 month old Great Dane loves stayed with Tara. She sent us pictures throughout the day and when we picked her up she did not want to leave. Having another big dog to play definitely tired her out by the time she came home. Riley can’t wait until her next vacation with Tara!

I spent a week in Georgia for Christmas and needed a sitter to give my cat medicine via oral syringe twice a day. I was so happy when I found Tara’s profile since she is a vet tech and is a pro at administering oral meds. She is also an excellent communicator and very attentive to detail, and I’ve been able to rest easy and enjoy my vacation knowing that my cat is in great hands. Thank you, Tara! I would recommend her services to anyone.

Tara came over to meet Colin while we were home so we could acquaint her with his meds routine and show her where we keep everything. She was very professional and her vet tech experience definitely showed. We are confident Colin will be in good hands on our upcoming trip out of town.

Tara is amazing with my dog, and my dog loves her. I highly recommend her, and I also felt very much at ease knowing she is a vet technician. It's very clear when you meet her that she loves animals.
