Experienced & passionate pet lover!

Pet care experience

*** A quick note about Covid: I am unfortunately immunocompromised due to a chronic illness. Therefore, I have to be extra careful these days. In order to minimize my exposure and overall risk, I am only taking requests from clients that I have already worked with. I would love to take care of your pets for you, but I have to do what I can to keep myself safe and healthy, especially right now. If you do choose to book with me, I ask that you wear a mask during meet and greets as well as if you're home when I pick up your pup to go for walks, etc. I also ask that if you have been in high-risk situations (ex: going to social events, work in healthcare, etc.) or have been potentially exposed to anyone with Covid to please let me know ahead of time so I can make the best decision for me and my health. I apologize for the inconvenience, I hope you understand. Thanks! Hey there! I’m Taryn. I’m a Cambridge freelance business consultant and graduate student who works from home. I normally take care of pets from Cambridge (along the Red Line): MIT, Central, Harvard, Porter, Davis & the Alewife station stops. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life (dogs & cats), and am currently a cat mom to a fifteen-year-old orange tabby who loves being an only pet. Though I'm not able to have a dog at the moment, I have a real soft spot for them. I feel very comfortable with all different breeds, from high energy Border Collies and Goldens to smaller pups like Chihuahuas, Westies, and everything in between. I have experience with walking, feeding, playing, mess clean up, pets & cuddles, training, and puppy care as well. I love that each pet comes with their own unique quirks and personality, and believe wholeheartedly in giving the individualized care and attention that works best for them. Whether it be taking your pup for a walk or popping in to visit your kitties, I can’t wait to keep your fur baby happy and entertained while you are away! Please feel to reach out with any questions or if you would be interested in setting up a meet and greet. IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING: - I, unfortunately, do not have a car, so I have to rely on the T and my bike to get to my clients. I'm only able to give a "radius" on Rover and am not really able to modify where within that radius I'm easily able to get to. If you are in an area that is difficult for me to travel to, I may have to increase my rate or not take the booking. -I try my absolute best to be as flexible and accommodating as possible. In order to avoid any scheduling conflicts, please make sure to check my calendar for updated availability before reaching out. Like the travel radius, I'm not able to really define what times I'm available during the day. For walks, my hours are between 9am-6pm. For drop-in's, my hours are from 9am-8pm.

Taryn did a fantastic job with my dog Jack. She was very professional and responsive as well as flexible to make last minute changes. She took my dog for a walk, played ball with him and took him to the dog park all in one visit which is amazing! I will definitely use her again in the future!
