Pet care experience

Love animals, Loving & Responsible

I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for their dogs, cats, and even chickens! Being around animals instantly makes my day, and I like to think I make theirs too I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled with attention. I’ve also trained my own dog in both basic commands and fun tricks, so I understand how to keep pets engaged, happy, and well cared for. Your pet will get lots of love, care, and tail wags while you’re away!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I would care for your pet in the comfort of your home, following your routines and preferences so they feel safe, secure, and stress-free. Whether it’s walks, playtime to burn off energy, or plenty of affection, I make sure your pet gets the attention and care they’re used to. I follow all feeding and care instructions closely and ensure regular potty breaks and a consistent routine. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as they would if you were home. I’m attentive, reliable, and highly communicative—keeping you updated and addressing anything out of the ordinary right away. I also treat your home with care and respect, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Tara is the best! She gave detailed reports and handled every situation that arose. My cats were very safe and secure (and loved!) with her! It was a long term booking, and she handled every aspect of it perfectly.

We found an abandoned kitten behind the Wegmans, took her in, but had long-term travel plans in the next few days. Tara absolutely saved the day. She's very knowledgeable of early development best practices, and did so punctually, with genuine love in her heart. If you're lucky enough to be able to book Tara, you'll be getting the best of the best.

It’s so nice to know Tara is keeping an eye on everything when we travel. She gives us a friendly report each day and lets us know if she sees anything that needs our attention. It puts my mind at ease knowing she’s there.

Tara really put my mind at ease leaving my two kitties for a week. She did everything perfectly and they look great!
