Pet care fits beautifully into my life right now. I’m a 32-year-old single travel nurse currently between assignments, using this summer as a season of pause and purpose while I navigate my next adventure into entrepreneurship. With a flexible schedule and a heart deeply rooted at home, I’m able to be fully present for the animals in my care—because that’s exactly where I want to be. My entire world revolves around my sweet 12-year-old yellow lab, Missy. She’s my heart dog, my daily joy, and the reason I’ve come to cherish slow mornings, long walks, and quiet snuggles on the couch. Being home with her as much as I can is what matters most to me these days—and extending that same love and attention to your pet is something I don’t take lightly. Whether your pup needs a calm, reassuring presence or a new best friend for playtime and companionship, I’m here to show up with open arms (and probably a pocket full of treats).

Safety, trust & environment
Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family—free to roam, curl up on the furniture, and enjoy all the belly rubs they can handle. We go on daily walks through the neighborhood, explore local trails, and make time for fun at nearby dog parks if they love to run and play. If I’m coming to your home, I’m happy to stick to your pet’s routine and respect any specific instructions you have—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, calming routines, or even helping with small errands or tasks while you’re away. I aim to create a calm, trusted environment wherever I am, so your pet feels safe, seen, and loved.

Pet care experience
With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve had the joy of working with dogs at every life stage—from the playful chaos of puppy training to the tender, attentive care our senior pups need. In my home, every pet is family. Whether it’s trusted neighborhood walks, cozy overnight stays, or just some much-needed belly rubs, I pour my heart and soul into making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and genuinely happy. I have extensive experience working with anxious dogs and understand the patience, calm energy, and trust it takes to help them feel at ease. I’m also fully comfortable administering medications—whether oral, topical, or injections—so your pet’s health routines are always safely maintained. I know how deeply our animals can comfort and connect with us—especially when we need them most. That’s why I care for every dog as if they were my own. Tail wags, happy hearts, and becoming your pet’s new best friend—that’s what I’m here for.
Reviews
I have known Taryn for over 2 decades and she is the most animal-loving person I have ever met. Furry friends are #1 in her eyes and it shows in her gentle nature and caring ways, especially seeing her with her own dog. She will go and greet your pet before you when visiting or meeting up! She is patient and kind, to say the least, with any pets she interacts with. I know that whether it’s her own dog or a friends’ fur baby, she always wants to make sure they feel loved. I have no reservations when she is in care of a pet, I know they’ll both be each others’s best company and friends.
Taryn is a loving and caring dog mom that has taken great care of my pup MANY times. She does an excellent job providing snuggles, time for zoomies, and all the attention your pup might need. She’s reliable and will take wonderful care of your furry best friend!
I can’t recommend Taryn enough! She has been walking and watching my dog on multiple occasions, and every experience has been fantastic. Taryn is always punctual, professional, and most importantly, incredibly kind and caring with my pup. I get detailed updates, adorable photos, and complete peace of mind every time I leave my dog in her care. It’s clear she genuinely love animals and treat every pet like her own. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver, Taryn is the one!
Taryn is the most gentle soul and is so amazing with her own dog and our animals. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they love when she comes over to play with them! You will feel safe and secure when your pet is being cared for by Taryn!!
