Experienced, energetic dog lover

Pet care experience

I began walking dogs with my mother when I suggested we start our own business at just 8 years old, and have been doing it ever since! I just recently moved to Westborough after spending my first 26 years in Arlington. I have cared for, owned and fostered many different types of dogs, ranging from 5lbs to 200lbs. I always wanted to work in the Veterinary field, but after doing it as a vet tech for a short while I decided I liked working with a more fun / positive type of animal care. I have lots of experience with nervous, leash reactive, and food/toy aggressive dogs, as well as dogs who suffer from separation anxiety. Regardless of breed or size, senior dogs definitely hold a special place in my heart. I currently own two basenjis and a pit bull, and have a 3 year old daughter + newborn son.

Tarah was great with our 8 month puppy! He can be difficult to walk, and she was great about giving us tips. Would rebook her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I always care for dogs with patience and compassion. Personally, I love to let them sniff on their walks and take their time because they have a special gift of exploring the world with their nose! I am extremely flexible and understanding, and i like to work with the owners to always do things in the way that makes them comfortable.

Information Tarah S. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful for me to know of any guarding or reactive behavior, whether or not they are a possibly flight risk, and stomach sensitivities. Any and all information is encouraged, I can work around it all!

A typical day

Whatever you are comfortable with! I love to hike, walk by the water, or just take a stroll around the block. I will admit that dog parks make me a little nervous; I would never want to put your dog in a dangerous situation with unfamiliar pooches.

I do not send my daughter to daycare so am currently only working short hours a couple of days a week. On a typical off day I love to get out of the house and go for a walk with the dogs.
