Testimonials
- Marcie M. ~ We highly recommend Tara and Sentient Soul Pet Sitting! Tara is a loving, kind, gentle and giving soul who treats our dogs as if they were her own, with great love, care, attention, and respect. She has sat for our two dogs, one senior, with special needs, (who has now sadly passed), and one younger, energetic, yet highly sensitive and prone to anxiety. Though each has had different needs, Tara has always been adaptive and responsive, connecting with each dog’s energy and meeting each where they feel comfortable. We have used Tara for overnight sits, and daytime sits while retraining our younger dog to be comfortable being left home alone during the day. Tara has been so kind and understanding with our young dog’s fears and anxieties, that we like to call her our “dog-whisperer”. We are especially grateful that Tara has been available to stay both day and night when we travel, as it gives us real peace of mind about the attention our dog is receiving. Tara is very thorough about every little detail concerning your pet’s schedule and the care of your home while you are away. She stays connected with you and sends frequent updates and photos. She is happy to go for long walks, have playtime, or just chill on the couch if that is what your pet needs most. She can give medications and will prepare your pet’s meals just as you wish. She takes wonderful care of your home and pet and honestly we would not consider using any other pet sitting service.
- Carolyn E. ~ I whole-heartedly recommend Sentient Soul Pet Sitting as a pet-and-house-sitter. After searching, and trying, other pet sitters, I was able to find the perfect fit in them. They are open-hearted, attentive and loving to our beloved dogs, and respectful and caring of our property. One of our dogs is an older fellow, and has a myriad of medications - They handle that beautifully as well. I never need worry about the pups while we're traveling, and the house is always in as good a shape or better than when I left it. I cannot begin to express what a relief it is to travel, knowing our pets are in Sentient Soul Pet Sitting's kind and capable hands.
- Mari J. ~ Sentient Soul Pet Sitting was amazing - we were gone 10 days and felt so comfortable with them taking care of our home and our dog. Our house was clean and felt warm, welcoming and very "zen" when we got home - just what you want after a great vacation! Shelly was more calm than usual so I know that she was well taken care of and didn't have the anxiety she usually has when we're gone and return. I'd highly recommend them!
- Debbie M. ~ Sentient Soul Pet Sitting has watched our houseful of fur babies and small farm animals on multiple occasions. Each time has given us a great sense of relief knowing our cats and dogs are in their hands. You know your babies are receiving extra TLC 24/7 from brushing their coats, hanging outside together sunning, administering meds, and reiki for extra calming and healing while we're gone. Extra reassurance for us is their sole focus is caring for your animals instead of balancing a full-time job showing up at the end of the day just to feed. We always look forward to pics and updates on our kids while we're gone. I especially love coming home to happy pets who don't approach us as if they were traumatized while we were gone, instead a spa-cation! Added bonus we know we're coming home to a super tidy house when we return home and an updated note on everyone. You can't put a price on entrusting someone who will care for your pets as if they are their own. I can't say enough positive things about Sentient Soul Pet Sitting and their attention to detail and sincere passion and care for animals and your home.
- Lisa C. ~ Sentient Soul Pet Sitting is the best! Our Carson fell in love with them, and we could vacation without stress!
- Susan D. ~ Sentient Soul Pet Sitting is extremely responsive, professional, and caring. They are skilled at what they do and makes our trips absolutely more enjoyable because we know our dog is in great hands. Highly recommended.
- Tami T. ~ I have 2 German Shorthairs, 12 year old sisters and they love Tara. From the moment they were introduced, they were hooked. She was thorough in getting to know about them - their interests, habits, and needs. I love that Tara checks in with me from time to time while she is dog/house sitting; keeps me informed about how the pups are doing, even sending photos of their indoor lounging and outdoor activities. I'm confident that they are loved and well cared for when I'm traveling. I highly recommend Sentient Soul Pet Sitting for your pet sitting needs!
- Sheryl B. ~ Tara is the ideal dog sitter. She’s so professional about her commitment and our rowdy dogs love her! We’ve used her three times and each time the dogs look for her afterward. That doesn’t happen with other dog sitters we’ve used!
- Jennifer P. ~ My 5 animals, including a very anxious little dog, were so happy with Tara. We were gone 6 days and I could tell from the daily pictures my animals were happy and comfortable. Tara loves the animals like they are her own! I'm so thankful for her. ❤️❤️❤️
- Susan K. ~ Tara has watched our dog since she was a non-stop energetic puppy. We always feel so comfortable leaving our pup with Tara. She has such a positive, calming presence. My dog immediately loved her and we could leave the house knowing she was taking great care of our precious dog-child. 5 out of 5 stars! Highly recommend!
- Diana A. ~ Sentient Soul Pet Sitting are some of the most compassionate, caring, loving, and responsible people I know. My 2 dogs love them and greet them like they are a family member. They have such a gift with animals! They are reliable, hands on, and trustworthy! I highly recommend them for all you pet and house sitting needs.
Just a few of the Sentient Souls that we have cared for.
