Taryn can care for
Availability
My schedule is very flexible. I tutor, pet sit and volunteer at a local theater. So, it is easy to fit our schedules together in a way that works for everyone. In addition, my husband sometimes helps me out to make sure we can get the hours you need. He only comes if he is able to come to the meet and greet and be approved by you. He is incredible with animals as well. There is no extra charge, just 2 incredible animal lovers for the price of one.

At home, I have 3 indoor cats and a corn snake. All our animals were either from a foster home or strays. We've also taken in animals with special needs as fosters or permanent in our home. They call us when an animal needs extra care. Our 12 yo female found us as a stray and we think she was the runt of the litter. She's a total diva princess The snake is what we call a foster fail because we ended up adopting her because of her her special needs. She came to us after having been injured by cats breaking into her cage at the home before us. We gave her special baths, pain medication and anti-biotic shots and nursed her back to health over months. By the time she was healed, she was ours. She is now the longest corn snake we've ever seen at over 5 feet. We show a lot of love to our cats and they want to be around us as often as possible. They always have access to food and clean water, and their litter is cleaned daily. When we have foster rats. They get a yummy salad and/or leftovers daily, and any leftovers are removed from her cage shortly. Our most recent geriatric rat (They only live 3-5 years and we get them towards the end of life because no one else wants them) had extra time daily because she was neglected for the first 2 1/2 years of her life and this gentle love and training turned her into a sweet rat, enjoying the last few months she had to the fullest. When pet sitting, I spend extra time taking care of all animals needs and giving them the love they deserve. I also send at least one picture a day so you can feel connected to your babies while you're away. I also have no issue bringing in mail, taking out trash or other daily things that may need to get done. I like to leave your furry children and your home better than I found it. We have had dogs, but not currently due to the size of our home and wanting to have more flexibility in our schedule for pet sitting, etc.
Information Taryn C. would like to know about your pet
The more I know about every animal, the more I'm able to Tailor every experience to them. I can also administer any medication and work with dogs on training as needed.
A typical day
We will walk, play catch, go to the dog park. I personally love to take dogs on longer walks through the woods depending on time, and how comfortable you are. They also get extra special TLC time.

Pet care experience
I have been working with all kinds of animals since I was a young child. I have even worked at as a veterinary assistant and a zookeeper. I have been pet sitting for over 20 years and due to my specialized experience, I can take care of almost any special needs or medication requirements. In addition, I have special experience in animal behavior and training to notice when something may be wrong. Most of all, I love dogs, cats, snakes, rodents, and all kinds of exotics. I have also fostered animals to make sure they don't end up in shelters. Animals tend to notice me from across the room and I'm sitting on the floor with them before long, enjoying face licks or purrs. This is the kind of TLC that will be shared with any animal I have to chance to spend time with while you're away.
Reviews
Taryn was great. She was very communicative and super sweet with all 4 of my animals. We will definitely be calling on her again!
Taryn did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was out of town. She spent plenty of time giving them lots of love and caring for them. She even went the extra step and unloaded my dishwasher for me and washed the dishes I had in the sink. I greatly appreciate all the care she took of my babies.
Taryn's contact, care and attention was professional, prompt and a tremendous relief to us. She was prepared with pet forms, asked all the right questions while also providing assuring answers about the service she would be providing to us and our zoo. I would highly recommend from initially meeting her, the service she provided and attention she gave our animals. She was in continual communication with us and wholly showed she was capable, dependable and completely trustworthy.
I am a first time Rover user and was concerned about having a stranger in my home; but Taryn was spectacular! She did an amazing job with my fur baby! I received many pictures of Them on walks, enjoying play time, and snuggles! She was very professional and left my house better than she found it. I would highly recommend her to anyone, including those using Rover for the first time.
