Kind and loving dog Mama ❤️🐕

I love being with dogs! I have been a dog Mom for 35 years, and I run a nonprofit dog rescue. Through my extensive experience with dogs, I feel I understand the emotions, language and needs of pups. My joy is seeing dogs feel safe and cared for, and watching them thrive! I am good with dogs in all stages of life, especially senior pups.

Truly blessed to have found this wonderful lady. She boarded my 6 month old pup who struggles with anxiety and meeting new people and she did it with EASE. She made sure I was constantly up to date on how he was doing with the new environment and new things. She did it with pictures and short videos of him which was AWESOME because it made my own anxiety of being away from him eased knowing he was enjoying himself and most importantly safe. When I picked him up my boy didn’t want to leave! Haha. He recommends. I recommend. Thank you so much Taurawa

Earlier this week, we had a really great boarding with Taurawa in Yucca Valley. She is really great with dogs, and has a wonderful place for them to stay. We found her to be very good at providing updates on our girls, and they seemed to have a great time. We will definately be using her again the next time we are going through Yucca Valley. Thank you again Taurawa. We appreciate your service. Dan and Gloria.

Rosie had the BEST time!! We recommend Taurawa for all your pet sitting and boarding needs. Rosie stayed with her for 6 nights. The yard was very spacious and well fenced and the house was perfect for our 4-legged family member. The property was a doggie paradise. We got lots of pictures and updates while we were away on vacation. Rosie even had a little accident and Taurawa was upfront with us, let us know what happened, and took care of Rosie with some TLC and first-aid. We will definitely be repeat customers. <3

Taura is a dog whisperer. Her property is a beautiful ranch with a separate house just for the dogs! She’s conveniently located to the national park. Norma had so much fun that we booked a second day while we enjoyed Joshua Tree.

Taura was such an amazing dog sitter. She is very friendly and welcoming. My dog is usually a little skittish and apprehensive around new people - doesn't like being pet or coralled and by the time it was time to leave and I was trying to load him in the car, he was circling back to her and touching his nose to her leg in thanks. Taura was super responsive through text and send lots of pictures. She was also great with communication and flexible with pickup/drop off times. I felt very reassured to leave my old pup with her and felt like I could trust her with him. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is set up for the comfort of the pups! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds, for better snuggling. I have fenced yards made for the pups’ safety and security, and I own 28 surrounding acres of beautiful, pristine desert land, where pups can run, walk and play. There are no roads, traffic or passing cars. Dogs love the freedom of this exquisite area! I call it a Doggy Disneyland!

Pets

A typical day

I walk dogs in the beautiful natural desert around my homestead, where dogs can seek out the smells of nature, and run and play! I also find fun activities to do with the pups, as to what they enjoy doing.
