About Tarah I.

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.
Information Tarah I. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I like to play with the dogs, using their toys to play fetch, tug of war, etc. I also like to take the dogs on walks a few times while im sitting for them. Whatever I can do to make them feel comfortable while their parents are gone.

Dog lover and owner
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Tarah was great and so easy to work with! She followed all instructions and communicated well! All of our pets were well taken care of.
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.
