Tara is so sweet and kind to our kitties! She hung out with them and gave them lots of good pets and attention I can tell that she’s spent time there because they seemed calm when I got home. I highly recommend Tara!

Tara and her family were friendly, great communicators and made us feel at ease leaving our cat! They seemed to really enjoy her company. Easy drop off and pick up and she sent pics throughout the week. Will definitely use her again

I had a great experience with Tara. She did a great job boarding our energetic lab for a week. She was very communicative and sent plenty of photo's. Looking forward to requesting her to support us again in the future. -Stephanie

Tara has a natural and easy way with animals - she loves all animals, and is gentle and kind with all pets. She is responsible and trustworthy, and would make a great companion for any animal!

Tara is absolutely fantastic with animals! She is extremely active and responsible. She has dog sat and walked my family dog over the years and has a tremendous connection with cats. Tara would make a great adventure or cuddle buddy for any animal.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a decent sized yard for your pets to get running time. I go on walks on bike paths and hiking trails often, and I would love some company!

A typical day

I would take them on a morning walk around my neighborhood. We would hang out inside for a bit, and I would give them a kong for mental stimulation. Then, we would head out for an afternoon walk somewhere new and maybe get a pup cup on the way!

Please let me know if your dog is reactive to other dogs! I don’t have any pets, but my neighborhood is filled with other dogs so that would be helpful to know before going on walks.
