Leaving our dog , Sport and now our dog, Chloe, and our rabbit, Rosie at home while we travel is not easy due to how much we love our pets. I truly have only trusted Taryn to watch and care for our pets. I have known Taryn for 30 years, and have always admired her conscientious manner when doing any tasks for others, following the instructions down to any detail. Every time Taryn has watched and cared for our pets, I have such peace of mind. She also communicates with me through the trip to check in. One time our pet Sport got into my husbands sun flower seed in his back pack when he was acting out because we were away. Taryn immediately communicated with us, researched effects of this and acted to help Sport. Sport was perfectly fine , but it showed how responsible and accountable Taryn is. Our dog ,Chloe, is mischievous and cannot be trusted to not run out the door if not careful. Taryn literally is the only person I trust to make sure to follow instructions to prevent this, which is more important than words can express. Taryn will often make observations about our pets and bring things to our attention as well, further showing how much she cares about our pets. Also, I have enjoyed watching her take such wonderful care of her long time dog, Bandit and learned from her ways to care for dogs. Trusting someone with your precious, vulnerable member of your family when you are away is sacred, and we have been so fortunate to have Taryn over the years provide that for us. If you are looking for a trustable, caring, conscientious person to care for your pet, Taryn is a great choice.
