Pet care experience

My love of dogs as a small child has grown with me through the yrs. I love to play fetch, frisbee, go for walks plus I give great belly rubs and bring my own treats (if allowed). Growing up I have had dogs, cats, snakes, a parrot and some other small animals currently I have my Parrot named Blue, a French bulldog named Bella and an Old English bulldog Hope who funny enough came from a rescue. Before I moved to Florida I was active in A DARRAH BULL BULLY RESCUE as a foster after I lost one of my own dogs to old age. We have since moved to Florida where I worked for The Eye Institute West for the last 2.5yrs but in total 20+yrs in the Eye business and now I feel I want to do something I love more than Eyes and that's hanging out with dogs. No dogs are too big or too small I love them all!!! Your pet is as precious to me as my own, give me a chance I promise I wont let you or your dog down! So I had taken a break away from Rover to work at a doggie daycare which was awesome but I was never home due to such long hours. So i decided to reopen my schedule for Rover to have a more flexibility! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

She took good care of my two cats and made sure they were okay even though they were a little wary. Thank you from me, Nigel, and Sebastian, and happy new year!

Tara was great! She promptly responded to my messages and even came earlier than requested. She cleaned my cat’s litter box, gave him fresh water and sent great pics. Although cats are super self sufficient it was a such a relief knowing Tara was there to check in on him. Will definitely be booking with her again!

Tara was so easy going, and was available upon short notice. Communicative and took great pictures, I'll definitely be reaching out for future pet care needs!
