About Tara

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have owned 4 dogs of various sizes in both apartments and houses. Some allowed them some autonomy to be outside for exercise and other requirements during part of the day where the majority required constant maintenance for proper hygiene, exercise, nutrition, and personal care. While house sitting for extended periods for an estate with two show dogs or in a posh flat in NYC with 3 enormous furry dogs, a cat, and a bird that required more specific maintenance on a regimented schedule than the most pampered debutantes I've read about.... I understand the importance that pets are integral members of the family and will housesit or work with your pets daily to include vet visits, groomers, exercising, allowing them free access to roam in and out of the house during specific hours, covering cages, specific diets, toys, rewards, walking..... as much or more than a child.

1st Tara should be running a corporation as she is a master consultant- it's ridiculous 5 yr old duplicate reviews by a fake person can't be deleted. So judge this. My teens and husband found Tara on here as a Mom replacement. My surprise surprise for 8 weeks due to impending cancer surgery. Tara is every woman's nightmare at first glance! But she's a gem. I had no cleaner, an all work hubby, busy teens and no nurse but a list of volunteers for some meals, carpools, but nothing organized. After 30 minutes any reservations were gone- Tara, twice a cancer survivor and empty nest single mom and actual MS in Org Mgt took my input then synced a calendar with mine. Finally, scanned every note, email, volunteer, list et al and created a all encompassing plan- activities separated by person w text reminders and attached lists. She included all errands, dog, daily house, laundry, carpool, my needs and scheduled a succinct 2-4 hour blocks 6 days a week for her tasks. Exceptional!
