I own my own business as the top relationship and intimacy coaches in the area. I’m usually up quite early on a morning walk, getting work done or in nature, so I will usually have the flexibility to come see your little ones.

Safety, trust & environment

At the moment, with my 18-year-old Russian Siberian cat who has special needs, she has the whole house to herself. I do have a backyard that she loves to spend time in, that is completely fenced off from the outside. There’s a possibility of doing some pet sitting in my house eventually but right now it might be a little difficult with a cat in the house. I can, however, come to you, and do some possible food visits, walks, affection, etc.

Information Tari M. would like to know about your pet

I think I would like to not be taken by surprise, so if there are any important details, please let me know, such as things they love or dislike.

A typical day

If a dog likes to play, or wrestle around a little bit, or jump around, or play catch, I am all about it. I have a very playful side to me that comes out immediately with dogs who like to do that. With Cats, it’s a little bit different. I give them a moment to get used to me, or for some cases ignore them if necessary, so they don’t feel confronted head on. I let them smell me and get used to me a little bit and then I’m usually golden. I am very affectionate with all animals. I love to make them feel well loved!

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my whole life. I’ve had family members who have owned wolf dogs, giant Alaskan malamute, an incredible other breeds as well. And I have some experience being around all sorts of animals. There is an off leash park by my house, which I often frequent by myself, and many of the dogs there will gravitate towards me to come say hello, or roll over on their back in front of me, play with me, or just give me some love. It’s a special feeling that I’ve cultivated over the years to put out awesome animal energy that makes them want to say hello or sometimes even be submissive. I love animals and think they all deserve lots of love, care and respect. I’ve never really liked the idea of being either a cat or dog person. I love all animals. Giving them lots of love and affection, comes natural to me, and having taken care of my own cat towards end of life, I’m extremely responsible

Tari is always my first choice for the best care for my animals. He is absolutely wonderful with all of them. He is punctual, keeps my house spotless and follows my directions perfectly. He is extraordinarily kind, loving and fun for all my fur babies to be around. From cuddles to walks/hikes to play sessions. They LOVE their uncle Tari :)

Tari is one of the most compassionate, loving and kind people I know. He is punctual, attentive, trustworthy and best of all, the animals love him and gravitate towards him.

Tari is the one you are looking for 💕. From the first time I saw him interact with animals (especially his beloved cat Chloe) I knew that the attentiveness and pure love he has for animals is unmatched. The photos he would send, the updates, the joy and responsibility he displays for taking care of animals makes me want to take notes to be a better pet parent. And when you get home I’m 100% sure your pet will be happier to have spent some time with him. 100/100 would recommend. I trust Tari completely and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
