Availability

My schedule varies since I work full-time as a nurse with three 12-hour shifts each week, and I rotate between day and night shifts every other month. However, this also means I have several full days off each week that I dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m very flexible and available for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits. On workdays, my availability is more limited, but I’m happy to discuss options depending on timing. I always prioritize clear communication and consistency so your pet gets the care they need.

Reliable Pet Caregiver

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced animal lover who grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets and am comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I regularly care for pets for friends and family, and I’ve also provided in-home care while working as a respite caregiver for a family with dogs—so I understand the importance of trust, routine, and keeping pets happy and comfortable in their own environment. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

Taryn is amazing! She took such great care of my dog, and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. I highly recommend Taryn as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.
