Every dog is an individual

Pet care experience

I have roughly 16 years experience with owning dogs and extensive in-house dog sitting experience. My experience with dogs encompasses small and large breeds, as well as dogs of all ages and needs (whether they be anxiety, health issues, poor sight, and etc.) I am also more than happy to take your dog for daily runs if they need a little bit more exercise than what your schedule can allow. During a stay with your dog, I try to keep their routine as normal as possible in order to keep your dog comfortable when their 'parents' are away. My goal is to provide your fur-babies with the devoted love and attention that I would want for my own dog (... and I would want a lot). Happy pets mean happy pet parents!

Taryn was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two dogs and was prompt and consistent with communication. House was in great shape upon our return and she even shovelled our driveway and sidewalks after a heavy snow. Would absolutely recommend her!

Taryn was our pet sitter for years! We depended on her to manage our three dogs (Lab, Blue heeler and Border Collie), an assortment of cats (two inside, two outside the house -), as well as my fish tank, and two Betta bowls…keeping creatures and home safe, clean and secure. That in itself, is plenty for anyone to keep up with, but she, in addition, watched over our barn and a varying number of horses which normally hovered around 35 (stallions, mares, foals). She fed, cleaned stalls and pampered our horses, as well as keeping up with cats that lived in the barn. Either of these would be a huge responsibility for anyone, but she did all of this for several years - when she was far younger than most would trust with lives and well-being of their treasured pets. We could always depend on her - rain, shine, or worse! I can absolutely and unequivicolly recommend Taryn for petsitting/housesitting for you and yours.
