About Taryn B.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible! I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable and secure. With over four years of professional experience in animal care, I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own and every pet as if they were part of my family. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving attentive, compassionate care while you're away.
Information Taryn B. would like to know about your pet
Before our first visit, I'd love to learn about their daily routine, favorite activities, any fears or triggers, and how they interact with new people, other animals, or unfamiliar environments. Please let me know about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, mobility concerns, dietary restrictions, or behavioral needs. I want every visit to be a positive experience, so I'll always follow your care instructions and support your pet's individual needs and preferences!
A typical day
Every pet is unique, so I tailor each visit to their personality, energy level, and routine. Whether we're going for a walk, playing their favorite games, or enjoying some one-on-one attention, my goal is to make every visit fun, engaging, and stress-free. I love incorporating enrichment activities to keep pets mentally stimulated, along with plenty of exercise and playtime. Depending on what your pet enjoys, we might play fetch, tug-of-war, hide-and-seek with treats or toys, or explore new walking routes where they can safely take in all the scents along the path. For pets who prefer a calmer pace, I'm just as happy to spend quality time giving belly rubs, brushing, or simply keeping them company.

Reliable and Compassionate Pet Care
Pet care experience
I'm an experienced pet care professional with over four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments! I've worked in an animal shelter, a dog boarding and daycare facility, and a dog training facility, giving me experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and pets with unique needs. I'm currently earning my animal training certification, which continues to strengthen my understanding of animal behavior and positive, reward-based handling techniques. My goal is to provide every pet with safe, attentive, and compassionate care while making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved when you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing with a companion, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.
Reviews
I worked with Taryn in a dog daycare/ boarding facility for over a year, and there is genuinely no one more dedicated to the dogs happiness, safety, and comfort. Working in both daycare/boarding and dog training gave her that special insight on dogs that most of us, even in this industry, don’t have. She’s also truly one of the most kind and compassionate people I’ve ever met and you won’t regret letting her take care of your fur babies :) she’s the best
