Fun and loving Pet Caretaker

Hello! My name is Tara and I am 33 years old. I am currently a stay at home mom and I am looking to earn a little extra money while doing something I love. I love dogs! I have a miniature dachshund that loves other dogs and children. I do have another dog Bruno that is so sweet and kind. I call him a gentle giant because of how gentle he is with children and other dogs. My children are also very good with pets. I have done some pet sitting in the past and I have loved it. I have experience giving medicine to pets if needed. Also I don't mind if the pets want to be on the furniture or sleep in the bed. I can easily accommodate whatever care your pet needs. I have experience walking dogs of all different sizes if that is what you need. I would love the opportunity to watch your pet!

We highly recommend this sitter. Our pup was kept safe and happy, and we received lots of updates.

Snooker spent the weekend with Tara and her family. We received daily pictures and he came home content and rested. He did not seem anxious or uncomfortable at all. We look forward to sending him to Tara again.

Tara took great care of our dogs. We appreciated the daily updates with pictures. We plan to use her again the next time we need a dog sitter.

Tara and her family warmly welcomed our dog. The two day stay went very well and we’d recommend their home.

Schedule

I am a stay at home mom so I stay home most of the day. The only time I will not be at home is when I drop my older 2 children at school in the mornings! I do have another younger child that is 4 and stays home with me full time. He loves dogs and treats them with respect.

Safety, trust & environment

I do have a fenced in yard that is large for dogs to run around in. I also have doggy gates located at the stairs of my home to allow for safety of each pet that comes into my home. I also will cater to each dog as its my own and provide any service requested by the dogs owners. If your dog needs walks everyday, great! I love to walk dogs. If your dogs needs medication, no problem! I have extensive experience giving medication to dogs.

Pets

A typical day

I have a big yard like I have mentioned. Dogs love to run around back there and play catch if they know how! I also can provide walks and any other stimulating activity. I do have other dogs in the house so they will have a playmate when they come over for more fun filled play!

I would like to know what bedtime looks like for them at night if they are being boarded. I also like to know if there is anything that stresses them out or calms them down. Do they need to be supervised at all times? Is there medication that needs to be administered at a. certain schedule?
