Tara was so wonderful with Milo. She made us feel at ease with her constant texts and videos of Milo while we were on vacation. We were so concerned about leaving her but after a day of getting videos and notes from Tara, we knew Milo was in good hands. We'd use Tara again for sure and would 100% recommend her. We're hoping to have Milo visit with Tara and her furry family from time to time. Thank you so much Tara!!!

Tara did a great job watching Kiwi. Kiwi is a high energy Australian cattle dog. She took her on walks and played ball and rope with her. She also had Kiwi not only tolerating her cats, but playing with them and going for walks with them! Great job Tara.

Information Tara G. would like to know about your pet

We are not situated for openly aggressive animals. We do accept unneutered males. There is a feral kitty that has decided to live in the house but has access to the outdoors. She would prefer to not have a dog that would eat her, but I am experienced in socializing dogs and cats.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks My home is in a very quiet neighborhood with low traffic. Walking and exercising our boarded pets is a ‘daily ritual.’ Your dog's sleeping arrangement A boarded pet’s access to our facility depends upon the individual pet and the owner’s expressed preferences. Time I'll spend with your dog An ample amount of time is spent with each of our boarded animals; much of which is one-on-one, as we’re home, at our facility the majority of the 24-hour day. As a professional animal photographer, we do on occasion partake in offsite photo shoots; however, this has not been a conflict or problematic in the past.

At this time, we only take one dog at a time or two if from the same family. For the past 15 years my passion has been my animal photography business, most of the work is done in my home studio in Kailua where, dogs will hang out with me. Suitable dogs can get trips to the beach and off-leash hiking, but otherwise leashed walks in the neighborhood.
