About Tara

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my profile and considering my application if I have applied for a house/pet sitting opportunity with you.

I am a very conscious individual who believes in personal responsibility, dependability and accountability. Everything I choose to do in life is very deliberate and thus I do with pride. If you allow me to house/pet sit you'll find your house better than you left it and your animals sorry to see me go.

I am an outdoor enthusiast, which is good for your pet(s) if they need/want daily exercise. I eat healthy, live mindfully & love life. Whether, I am house-sitting or at home, I cook most meals at home and spend the majority of my hours in a day at home, ensuring that your furry friends are in good company. I'd love to hear from you if you're in need of house or pet sitting.

Why I want to house sit

I love to house/pet sit because it gives me opportunity to travel, live and work in various locales while giving back. My goal in life is to chase money less, give back more, which traveling keeps in perspective and house/pet sitting allows.

My experience

As a house/pet sitter, I have the skills (including garden, pool, hot tub upkeep), along with the ability and passion to solve issues that arise with experience I have gained as a pet owner, business owner and landlord. I have been a pet owner for my entire life and believe that animals are the ultimate example and teacher of unconditional love. I've had and cared for cats, dogs (of all sizes), iguana's, birds, chickens, goats, ferrets, fish and a crow (yes, it's true). I've tended to all age levels and am versed in geriatric love and care.

My last dog, Hank, who I recently said goodbye to (saddest.day.ever), was treated with homemade dog food for the last 5 years of his life. He was very dear to me and I understand the very special place in our hearts that our pet(s) dwell in.

As an small business owner and multiple property owner/manager, I've gained the experience of problem solving, property renovation and management and am knowledgeable in most things house upkeep & maintenance. If there are things to be managed or taken care of while away, I'm happy to help.

Additionally, I have created & maintain many "Lost Pets" Facebook pages to help reunite lost pets with their owners.

Perfection! The house looks better than when we left it! All of the animals (dogs, rabbits, chickens) are happy and the gardens are thriving. I appreciate Tara's preparation (reading the guide before we left town and asking questions), communication and (super cute) photos while we were away, and thoughtful and thorough care of the house. I loved not worrying about anything while we were away. Excellent, thank you!

Thank you so much for the great review Natasha. You made the sit easy with a thorough guide and expectations. Your home and mini farm were a joy to sit. I loved working poolside with the pooches and taking Paco trail blazing. Thanks for letting me use your truck to take Paco for afternoon romps. Your home is amazing and animals all love bugs! I look forward to next time.

Thanks for the great review Amelia. Your pooches are absolutely darling! I loved that they bowed for me when I left... heart-breaker! I'll be back for sure. I loved your place & those special pooches.
