Safety, trust & environment
I currently live in an apartment with my two cats. I'm comfortable caring for your dogs and cats in any set up, whether you have an expansive yard or a small apartment. I can play with your pets inside and/or outside depending on your space. I'm comfortable crating pets too if that's something you need.
Information Tarah H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your cat or dog has any behavioral, medical, or other specific needs. I am comfortable administering medication (pills and oral syringes) as needed. Please also let me know if your pet has any preferences for activities, as I want them to feel loved and respected during my visit.
A typical day
For cats, I tailor my care to their personality and mood. I'm happy to spend the whole visit playing with string toys, snuggling on the couch, or anything in between—their choice. In need of toys? I have way too many cat toys on my hands and am happy to bring some with me! For dogs, I can explore neighborhoods, parks, trails, etc. with your fluffy friend! We can also run around in the backyard or play tug-of-war with a toy inside. Again, I will take time to get to know your dog and match my style with their personality, mood, and energy levels. Although I only provide drop-in visit, I am happy to go on short walks during drop-ins.

Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Tarah and I'm all about taking the best care of your cats and small dogs. My love (and experience) for small fluffy friends began when my family brought home a Maltese puppy when I was 9 years old. In 2018 my family welcomed another small/medium Maltipoo into the family, and in 2019 I brought home my very own kittens. Through these pets I have extensive experience caring for small dogs of all ages including puppies and seniors, and cats including those with special needs. My own kitty has a diagnosed food addiction and anxiety and takes nightly meds, so I'm comfortable administering medications to your pet. I know the feeling of apprehension leaving your pet with someone, especially if they are cats or small dogs since sometimes the care they need can look different than a bigger dog. My goal is for you to feel safe and secure leaving your small fluffy friends in my hands while you're away, knowing that they'll get exactly the kind of love and attention they deserve 😻🐶

Reviews
Tarah was great with our two kitties! She was so easy to communicate with and our cats were well cared for. She provided lots of good photos of them playing. I look forward to booking her again in the future - highly recommend!
Tarah was sooo amazing with my cat, Mao Mao! My husband and I went away for 2 weeks on our honeymoon, which is the longest we've been away before so I was worried leaving her that long. But Tarah eased every single worry I had! She gave amazing updates and pictures of Mao Mao while we were gone, made sure her litter boxes were clean, her food bowl was filled, and that she got lots of love and pets while we were away! She was so responsive and easy to get ahold of and really went above and beyond for us! I would 100% book with Tarah again for any trip we take in the future!
Tarah is great! Easy going, great communicator, and so good with my pup (and bun) ?
As a fellow Rover sitter, I’m picky about who watches my pups but Tarah is amazing!!! Can’t recommend enough! She is kind, patient, communicative, and my dog has so much fun with her. Can’t recommend enough
