I work as a marketing professional and have a flexible, hybrid schedule that enables me to work from home or in the office. Taking care of dogs on a part-time basis is perfect for my schedule -- we both have fun day or night. I have a proven track record of excellent care with many clients as shown in the testimonials. Let me be your next great caregiver!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in Andersonville on a quaint block with lots of trees and green patches. The condo has plenty of space for dogs of all sizes and allows me to easily monitor and care for a furry friend. My family used to have a miniature schnauzer who was loving and queen of the castle, truly my family's best friend. This is a loving, happy space to house your dog, or for me to go to yours and give you peace of mind when away. I'm in my 30's, a working professional with a master's degree from an Ivy league university.

Information Tarin A. would like to know about your pet

Ahead of time, I'd love to know what makes your dog happy, feel soothed, any special toys or beds, commands or training for which to maintain continuity, and how your dog does with other dogs. Let me know your dog's personality traits and how I can help adapt the stay.

A typical day

In addition to cuddles and all the pats and back scratches, playtime is the best too. Please bring dog toys and whatever else is your dog's coveted plaything. Cuddles while watching tv is a must, too, if your dog enjoys it. Senn Nicholas Park is nearby along with lots of green streets in Andersonville for frequent potty breaks and movement.

Furry Friends' Home Away from Home

Pet care experience

When asked what my hobbies are, I always say, "playing with dogs." I love the symbiotic, mutual joy in caring for furry friends. My family grew up with miniature schnauzers who hold a special place in my heart. Whenever I'm with a friend's dog, I spend extra time giving love and playtime, it energizes me and I capitalize at all possible times.

Tarin took great care of our senior greyhound, October! We were out of the country for a 5-day trip, and we did not have a single worry at all while we were away. Tarin gave us a thorough status update every night summarizing their day, activities, and plenty of pictures and videos to go along! October has daily medication which Tarin gave extra care with her for. It’s easy to see that she had a great time at Tarin’s while we were away and his love and care towards her was amazing. When we went to pick her up she wasn’t even that excited to see us lol!!

I've lost count how many times we've had Tarin watch our dog. Tarin is the best!

Tarin was fantastic with my little guy Sammie. Super welcoming and you can tell he truly loves dogs. I got some adorable pics of how much fun they had. Sammie will definitely be back for visits with Tarin again soon - highly recommend!

Tarin was amazing! He watched our dog, Denna, for 10 days while we were out of the country. He sent daily check-ins and lots of photos/videos each night around the same time of day, which helped ease my anxious mind. He clearly loves and cares for the dogs as if they are his own. It looked like Denna had a great time and we will definitely book with Tarin again :).
