Safety, trust & environment

While working at a Doggy Daycare facility, I have interacted with a large variety of dog breeds, personalities, and energy types. I have not met a dog, or cat, that I wasn’t able to get along with! As a dog and cat owner, I am very confident in my ability to recognize and understand their body language and behavior. I spend as much time as I can with all my animals. The safety of any animal under my care is extremely important to me. So if your furry friend needs any special accommodations, or has any severe allergies please let me know!

Information Tara W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat or dog has any allergies, medical conditions, or reactivities. I love to hear all about your pets personality as well!

A typical day

I love to do enrichments with both cats and dogs. Either with treat puzzles, longer walks, playing fetch outdoors, or anything else we can do!

Pet care experience

I have cared for animals since I was 8 years old. Currently I have cats, a dog, a few fish tanks, and some reptiles. Most of them are completely under my care and they are all thriving! I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty as I have been cleaning up after many different types of animals for years.

Thank you Tara for watching my babies! I had peace of mind with the thorough updates and pictures while I was away.

Migo appreciates you being there for him while he was scared in the storm, all the goodies you give him and the quality playtime. Thanks again for taking great care of him while we had to go out of town!
