Taryn Smits is an excellent dog, house sitter. Taryn is excellent with animals she has raised her own dog to be a registered service dog whom she trained herself. She stayed with my 2 whippets while I went on vacation. I rarely leave my dogs as I’m very protective of them. Taryn needed to administer meds twice a day and deal with a dog who has little interest in eating ( a very difficult dog to feed). She also had to walk them daily and provide lots of attention. While away I didn’t worry a bit as she sent me updates and pics. Upon my return my dogs didn’t want her to leave and she even got my dog who doesn’t like to eat to eat 2 meals a day which he continues to do today. Knowing that Taryn enlisted in the military working with animals gave me such peace of mind knowing that she’d take great care of my whippets as that is also her career path. I’ve also known Taryn for years and have seen her grow into an incredibly responsible caring trustworthy adult whom I’d trust implicitly with my dogs and my home.

I highly recommend Taryn as a pet caregiver. As an Animal Care Specialist in the U.S. Army, she has extensive experience working with military working dogs, horses, and a wide variety of animals. She has personally taken excellent care of my cat and dog, always showing patience, responsibility, and genuine compassion. As an NCO in the Army, I’ve also witnessed her dedication, motivation, and enthusiasm firsthand. She consistently goes above and beyond in every task she takes on, and I would trust her with any animal without hesitation.
