Hey there,
I’m Tara!
I’m an animal lover, experienced pet care provider, house sitter, energy healer, and serial 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 (3 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 quit my 9-5 job at the end of 2012 to start my own design + marketing business, I decided to try pet care + house sitting to help me pay my bills while I built my dreams (originally through the DogVacay app and then Rover).
This turned out to be a great experience, and I ended up doing dog walks, drop-ins + pet-sitting on the side for many years out in San Diego, CA
(while building 4 other successful online businesses + blogs of my own!)
😊
At the end of 2019, I moved back home to the East Coast and started rebuilding my life in the southern New Hampshire area.
In July of 2022, I found myself missing all my furry friends, so I decided that maybe it was time to start offering pet care on the East Coast. So I updated my Rover profile and…
Within 6 months, I had a full-time pet care + house sitting business.
And it’s been going strong FOR over 3 years now!
I am still running my design + marketing business, which I can do from anywhere with wifi!
This makes me a perfect fit for you if you’re looking for an experienced professional pet care provider who has a flexible schedule, can travel to you, work from home, sleep over, and be with your pet(s) most hours of the day!
My experiences over the years have all been positive, and I feel honored and grateful to have connected with so many kind and compassionate people and their adorable pets! 💞🐾
My Business is Growing + Evolving
This past summer (2025), I decided it was time to expand beyond the Rover app and create my own brand + website for my pet care biz.
So I used my branding + website design skills to create one – and here it is!
THIS INCLUDES…
1.
Empowering other “pet-preneurs” to start + grow their own pet care businesses through coaching, branding + website design!
2.
Building a network of professional pet care providers that I can refer my clients to when I’m not available… and vice versa!
3.
Connecting with clients outside of my local area and potentially providing pet care while traveling and exploring the world!
Pet care is in high demand and can be a very fun and lucrative business for those who love animals, have an entrepreneurial spirit, and are looking to create part-time or full-time income!
Many pet owners are looking for pet care providers who can be home with their pets most hours of the day, so if you can work or study remotely, this could be a great fit!
If this is something you’re interested in, let’s connect!
