About Tara
I am a uni student studying a Bachelor of animal and veterinary biosciences, and I have had pets large and small for my whole life.

I have had years of experience with small and large animals alike, such as bunnies, dogs, cats, horses and reptiles! I currently volunteer as a keeper (primarily birds and mammals) at a well-known mobile zoo which has given me a lot of experience with native and exotic animals, and paired with my degree I have a high level of knowledge about animal behaviour and care. I have a particularly strong interest in wildlife and native animals, but cherish all pets and think they're all amazing.

- I hold a basic wildlife license and am comfortable feeding and caring for snakes and other reptiles/exotic animals.

- I have 10 + years of equine and large animal skills, including feeding, rugging, riding and basic first aid such as vaccinations, deworming and wound treatment.

I am passionate about all animals and maintain that they all deserve only the best of care, understanding the needs for each animal will be different to the next.
I live in Whittlesea and currently own a black Labrador named Hurley, a beautiful cat Archie, 2x carpet pythons, Atlas and Daisy, and a beautiful Appaloosa x Arabian gelding named Jester - I cherish my animals and they are all superbly looked after and loved, and I extend this level of care to your furry friends. Although I am unable to offer boarding at my own home due to the current menagerie, I am more than happy to travel within reason.

Tara has cared for my cats and dogs on multiple occasions and she is wonderful with them all. She is very confident and caring & I have no hesitation having her care for them in my home. My daughter has a snake which required feeding while we were away and this was no problem at all!
