What a beautiful day at the I Do I Do Gippsland ‘Let’s Get Married” Wedding Fair!
I had the best time and I met so many incredible couples, shared lots of laughs, and handed out so many brochures and business cards. It was such a joy chatting with Gippsland couples about how I can support them and their fur babies on their wedding journey. From wedding day pet care to tailored packages, it means the world being able to share what I do and connect with people who truly love their pets like family.
I honestly love what I do - being part of such a special season in people’s lives (and their pets too!)

With love,
Tara

BEHIND THE SCENES AT TARA’S PET CARE

What you see: cute photos, happy pets, wagging tails.

What you don’t see… is EVERYTHING that goes on behind the scenes to make that happen.
Every single pet is carefully matched with the right carer based on personality, location, and needs - not just availability.

We build detailed care profiles for every animal (routines, behaviours, medical needs, quirks… yes, even the ‘won’t walk past that one bin’ notes.) Our days are structured down to the minute to make sure no pet is rushed and every visit is done properly. We don’t just ‘walk dogs’ - we assess behaviour, energy levels, and adjust every outing to suit the individual dog. We handle everything from anxious pets to complex care like medications and specialised routines. There’s constant communication happening behind the scenes - checking schedules, adjusting bookings, supporting staff, and making sure everything runs smoothly And something a lot of people don’t realise… We carry the responsibility of your home, your pets, and your trust - and we take that seriously every single day. This isn’t just a side job for us. It’s a structured, professional service built on trust, safety, and genuine care. Whether it’s a quick pop-in, a long walk, a homestay, or even helping your pet be part of your wedding day - there’s so much more happening than meets the eye. We’re so proud of what goes into making every service feel seamless for you

With love,

A little about me,
I’m the heart behind Tara’s Pet Care & Specialised Services and at the core of everything I do is a genuine passion for animals, hard work, and helping people.
For the past 5 years, I’ve been working hands-on in the cattle industry, responsible for animal care from birth right through to maturity. During this time, I completed my Certificate III in Agriculture, gaining the skills and qualifications to safely administer medications and manage livestock health with confidence.

But my experience didn’t start there…
For over 18 years, I’ve spent my spare time raising and caring for animals of all kinds - lambs, chickens, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and dogs of all sizes. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and that passion has only continued to grow.

Through working alongside experienced trainers and hands-on learning, I’ve developed strong skills in:
• Basic obedience
• Puppy training & toilet training
• Socialisation
• Working with reactive dogs

Starting this business has taken that lifelong passion to a whole new level. What began as a love for animals has grown into a professional service supporting both pet owners and farming clients, providing reliable, knowledgeable care and support when it’s needed most.

I pride myself on being:
✔ Reliable
✔ Hands-on
✔ Safety-focused
✔ Genuinely passionate about what I do

I’m incredibly proud of how far this journey has come and even more excited for what’s ahead.

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your animals or your farm like their own… I’d love to work with you.

With love,
Tara
