About: I've been around dogs my whole life, my parents raised seeing eye dogs, and I helped with training and daily care from a young age. In my teens, I helped my mom run a small dog-boarding business out of our home, so I'm used to dogs with all kinds of temperaments and routines. Over the years, I've often been the go-to friend for dogs that need a little extra patience or understanding, whether that's a shy senior or a high-energy handful. I recently lost my own pup, and while l'm not ready for another full-time, I miss having a dog around and love being able to offer that care and attention to someone else's. I'm currently working on fixing up my very old duplex so I'm home, tinkering around most of the time, and my schedule is flexible. If you're worried about your pet being in a construction zone, not to worry! The living area is safe and segmented from anything that might be hazardous yet intriguing to your pet. I have a partially fenced yard, perfect for supervised play. Living in midtown means that there's plenty of interesting things to smell along walks. I can crate your dog if needed, and you're welcome to bring their own if that makes them most comfortable. I have quite a few house plants in my space, so please let me know if your pup is prone to chewing on them and I will move them out of the way for their visit.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was old enough for my parents and neighbors to trust me! Grew up with multiple of my both in the house and naturally my first job was dog walking and house sitting around the neighborhood. Have experience working with older pets, puppies / kittens, and large breeds. Currently, live in the Corktown neighborhood with my Australian Shepherd Mel. If you see us out on a walk, say hello! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your ideal walking and / or care schedule. My Australian Shepard Mel and I walk around Corktown daily and am always up for spending more time outside! For Dog Walking: I follow your lead on your dog's tendencies / preferences. I adhere to your preferred routes and instructions regarding leash etiquette, avoiding off-leash situations unless explicitly discussed and approved. If your dog enjoys canine company, I'm happy to bring my Aussie Mel along, who loves walking with friends! If your dog likes playing ball / frisbee, happy to discuss how we can accommodate that as well. For In-Home Pet Check-ins: I pay close attention to your pet's behavior and appetite, reporting any concerns to you immediately. I ensure fresh water is always available and clean up any messes promptly. I prioritize respecting your space, leaving it just as I found it.

“Tara was excellent with my 3 schnauzers. She sent pics and the house was nice when I returned from my trip. Everything went smooth and the dogs were happy when I got home! I would definitely use her again!”


About: I have raised 4 puppies of my own until healthy old age. From my Jack Russell, German shepherd, Australian cattle dog mix, and Golden shepherd mix. Each have very diverse dispositions and needs for exercise and diet. Hopefully we can work on a consistent plan for their care while you are away.

Ask me for a regular schedule to ensure I handle all of your pets household needs. I like to keep a clear and hygienic environment to ensure that pets have a healthy, safe and stress free environment. Keeping things where they are is important to ensure they are not seeking something they need to stay happy.

Christian G.
“Christian has been absolutely wonderful with our 9-year-old Vizsla, Lily. She's a sweet, energetic dog who still loves her daily walks, and Christian has been the perfect match for her. He’s reliable, kind, and clearly loves dogs — Lily gets so excited every time she sees him! We really appreciate how attentive he is to her needs, especially considering her age. He gives her the right balance of exercise and care, and always makes sure she’s comfortable and happy. We’ve noticed Lily seems calmer and more content on the days she walks with Christian. Highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely caring dog walker. Lily gives him two paws up!”
