Pet care experience

Dog lover and owner

I have been pet sitting on and off since I was 11. Most recently I have consistently been dog sitting since I was 19. I do work a full time job Monday-Fridays and take care of the pets I’m sitting for when I’m not at work. I love dogs and helping people when I can and this is a great way to do that! I have experience taking care of dogs between 8months-15 years old; I have taken care of small and large breeds in that age range. I have been responsible for managing pets medications during those times as well. I make it a point to do meet and greets with families and pets before watching them to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone, especially the dogs. I like to go over their usual schedules and things to be aware of so the pets can be as comfortable as possible while I stay with them. I’m a very lowkey person and a homebody, so when I’m not at work I’ll be with the animals making sure they are taken care of and having a good time until their families are home.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to keep things cleaned up so there isn’t anything around that could be harmful to the pets. I go outside with them to make sure they are good, or check on them periodically if they are out there for a while. I make sure to give them my attention while I’m with them whether that’s playing with them, giving them cuddles, or going for walks. At my own home we have our backyard closed, and since my dog is small we have the gate extended to prevent her from being able to potentially get out.

Tarah was very communicative for any issues that came up. She also sent super cute pictures for the pups! So fun to see they were happy. I will definitely have Tarah dog/house sit again!

Tarah is great. My dogs are on a lot of medication, and she did amazing giving them their pills and ensuring they took them. She kept me informed on how they were doing and was amazing. I highly recommend her.

Tarah is very personable and we were able to meet with her a couple times before she stayed with our dogs so they had a chance to get used to her. She kept in communication with us while we were gone with updates and pictures of our pups. Very happy with her service and would recommend her.

Schedule

I work Monday through Friday, between 8-430/5, but my weekends are free. When Im pet sitting, I focus on taking care of the pets first and foremost, so I don’t make any other plans while taking care of pets so I can be there before and after work.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Tarah can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I like to meet the pets and the families ahead of time. Get to know their schedules for feeding and medications if they have any. I like to make sure that I know about any special things the dogs are used to are something that I can help continue to do while the parents are away, like nightly walks, treats after dinner, etc.
