🐾Experienced Animal Lover! 🐾

I am a passionate animal lover with 15 years of experience with cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits. I am knowledgeable in canine and feline behavior. I am experienced in administering oral medication, puppy/ kitten care, and senior care. If needed, I can bathe small/ medium sized pets. I will always put the needs and comfort of the pet and owner first as that is my main priority. I am a full time pet sitter and will treat and love your fur baby like my own! I see it not as a job but a true love of taking care of animals and giving your pet the love and attention they need when their owner is away. When your dog is with me I will make sure they are having the best time possible even though they aren’t with you! I can do short or long walks depending on your dogs needs. I love to keep in contact with the owner by sending pictures and videos of how their pets day is going! I have a fenced in yard and live on a nice quiet street. I am close by to the park so if your pet loves a good walk I can certainly take them!

Tara is the absolute best!! She takes such good care of my Hero and I am so grateful to have her take care of him when I am not there. Communication is always clear and I never have to stress about the care for my dog when I need that support.

Tara takes great care of my Daisy. This was my second time hiring her and I will definitely use her again next time I go away. Thanks Tara!

Tara was awesome with our two dogs. Our dogs seemed happy in the photos she posted, and there were no accidents in the house upon our return from work. She reliably showed up for their walk every day at the requested time, and all interactions were friendly and professional. We’d highly recommend Tara, and we’ll be booking her again in the future!

A typical day

With your permission I will take your dog to the park for a run or simply have them run around in my fenced in yard. I can take some time to teach simple commands and play with their favorite toys.

Tara can host up to 4 pets per night
Generally, I'd like to know if your pet has any special needs regarding medication or care so that I can provide the best care possible for them and for you. How friendly they are, what treats do they like, and if they get along with other dogs for puppy play dates. Like to have a full understanding on your pets diet.
