Work-From-Home Pet + House Sitter!
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Tara. I'm an animal lover, experienced pet + house sitter, and entrepreneur with the freedom to make my own hours + work from anywhere. :) That being said, you can have peace of mind knowing there will be someone caring, loving, and responsible watching over your fur babies most hours of the day! I often form instantaneous bonds with animals within our first meeting, and will always treat your pet as if it were my own. I enjoy interacting with them, staying active with them, and cuddling with them! I also do Reiki, so if your pets are feeling anxious at all, I can bring in some calming energy for them! My relationships with my clients and their pets are always built on trust, respect, and reliability! _____________________________________ MY STORY: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a little kid – I grew up with dogs (golden retrievers/huskies), a rabbit, hamsters, rats, goldfish, and a turtle, and would also take care of my neighbor's cats, rabbit, and ducks whenever they were away. When I started my own design + marketing business back in 2013, I decided to try pet + house sitting to help me pay my bills while I built my dreams. This turned out to be a great experience and since then, I have grown a nice little pet + house-sitting business on the side. :) I recently moved back home to the East Coast from San Diego, CA, and have started rebuilding my clientele in the Seacoast area. Over the past year and a half, my business has grown amazingly quickly, and I have had nothing but positive experiences! I feel honored and grateful to have met so many great people and their adorable pets! _____________________________________
Reviews
I always feel confident leaving Sherlock with Tara. He’s well cared for and she’s very reliable and an excellent communicator. Thanks Tara!
Tara stayed with our pup Gracie over New Years while we were out of the country. We were completely at ease knowing she was in Tara's care. She is super communicative, respectful of our home, and sent lots of pictures. She definitely deserves all of her 5 star reviews! Thanks Tara!
Tara was great - she gave us updates/photos throughout the weekend and our house was pristine when we returned home. Will absolutely use her next time we need a dog sitter.
Thanks Tara!
