About
Let's schedule a meet and greet to make sure your pet(s) is/are comfortable with me. Once we establish that we're good with each other I'll ask a lot of questions to make sure I take care of them as best as I can. Where do they like to sleep? Are they allergic to anything? Certain key words or phrases you use that will help me? I will also send you pictures/videos /updates so you know how they are doing.
Dogs:
I can come to your house and stay the night when you go out of town or on vacation. I'll feed them, give fresh water, take them for walks, give them medicine if necessary, etc. Staying at your house is also good if you have older dogs, dogs with anxiety and/or multiple pets. I am the alternative to boarding your pets. They can stay home where they are comfortable.
Depending on the size of the dog, I can watch small- medium sized dogs at my place but only if they are house & potty trained. No puppies. I only watch a couple at a time at my place. Most of the time it might only be your dog.
I am a huge cat lover, but I am also good with dogs.
Cats:
I have 2 of my own, and they wouldn't like other cats in their space so I would need to come to your place to take care of your cats. I could brush & pet them, play with them, feed them, make sure they have enough water, clean their litter boxes, and dispense medications if necessary. My friends refer to me as "the cat whisperer". My cats feel out the dogs that come to the house and if they aren’t threatened they’ll hang out but if they’re scared they have plenty of places to hide.

Tara was absolutely wonderful with our Nico! 🐶❤️ From the beginning, she was very responsive, professional, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She took such great care of him and treated him with so much love and attention. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing that Nico was safe, happy, and being well cared for while we were away.
We are extremely happy with the quality of care Tara provided and would absolutely trust her with Nico again. I highly recommend Tara from Four Paws Pet Sitting to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy to care for their fur baby! 🐾❤️

Tara is wonderful. I was very nervous to leave our fur baby in a strange home. However, our T’Challa loved his stay, Tara sent video updates and his happy tail spoke volumes for his level of comfort. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Tara. I will definitely use her services again if needed😊

I struck it gold with finding Four Paws Pet Sitting. Tara was not only kind to my pets but really showed them affection and allowed them to be their playful self. My dogs really enjoyed being in her care. She was also very accommodating and responsive. Her dates are also reasonable so overall a great find!

Excellent pet sitter. She worked around all of our issues that other pet lodges would not. She was very flexible with timing and my dog Clyde seemed to have an excellent stay with her. When we picked Clyde up after his stay, he looked well taken care of and was just as happy as could be. Thank you for excellent pet sitting service.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My overnight rate is roughly a 12-14 hour period that includes feeding dinner, letting out or walking, being with them all night through breakfast in the morning and of course making sure they are let out or go for a walk before I leave. If I'm staying for the day or coming back for a visit, that is a separate rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to meet the pet(s) in the environment where I will be watching them, whether that is at my house or yours but I know every now and then things come up so if we need to video message each other first to save time, that is possible as well. Usually we have the meet and greet and see if your pet(s) is/are comfortable with me and me with them and we can go over all the specific details including their likes/dislikes and all the cute idiosyncrasies so that I can care for them the best I can.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've had cats my entire life and I've been around dogs all my life. Currently I have 2 cats and 1 dog. I used to volunteer at the Pet Alliance as a Kitty Cuddler and I took an animal CPR class there. Besides my own pets, I've also dispensed medication, including diabetes shots to other pets.
