Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, friendly and patient pet sitter.
I’ve been a dog lover all my life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets with very different needs. While living in Cyprus, I rescued Katie and Rocky after they were abandoned and gave them a long and happy second chance at life. Later, I adopted Alfie, who had been abused and was terrified of people. He hid under a bush for two weeks before I earned his trust. With guidance from a dog behaviourist, I helped Alfie overcome his anxiety and bad behaviours, and today he’s the most loving, confident dog who happily joins me on school runs and adores attention from kids. I also rescued Charlie, another Cyprus dog, and cared for him through his senior years when he went blind and deaf, making sure he always felt safe and loved until he passed in 2024. These experiences taught me patience, compassion, and how to handle everything from behavioural challenges to senior care. For the past 2 years, I’ve been a Rover sitter with over 20 happy clients and all 5-star reviews. I’ve cared for anxious dogs, untrained dogs, puppies, elderly dogs, and energetic dogs and I’m proud to have regular repeat customers. I’m experienced with senior care, administering medication, and creating a calm, loving environment for every pet. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to keep them happy and relaxed. For house sitting in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything neat and clean while ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for. I can also administer medication if needed and give extra support for anxious or senior dogs. My schedule is flexible, and during the weeks when my children and Alfie dog aren’t with me, I can offer house sitting or boarding.
Ratings and reviews
Taryn has respected our nervous dogs boundaries and worked at building a relationship with her. She has been very communicative and the photos have been lovely- good to see their blossoming relationship
Taryn has such a warm personality that Pip, our terrier, seemed to be completely at home with her. Taryn was conscientious and contacted us when Pip’s appetite was not good, but that often happens and she let us know the following day when things were back to normal. She is a great dog boarder
Thank you Taryn - Betty had a fab stay and I appreciated everything you did to keep in touch.
Taryn has been brilliant with our old girl Bean. We were away a night and Taryn stayed at our house. We got regular updates and came home to a very happy, tired dog. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Taryn, so glad she’s local to us and we’ve found her. Great communicator, came and met Bean beforehand and we’ll definitely use her again. Thanks Taryn
Taryn is a lovely, friendly individual, and clearly an animal lover. Floss warmed to her immediately and went off merrily on their first walk. Looking forward to booking again!
Taryn looked after our little Noah for first time (day care) and the whole experience was very smooth, from drop off to pick up. Taryn kept us up to date with photos and messages through out the day. We would definitely recommend Taryn!

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work from home, giving me the flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extra attention for your pets. I can also offer dog boarding in my home or dog sitting in yours. My children and my dog Alfie are with me every other week, so during the weeks they’re not here, it’s just me, making those weeks perfect for house sitting or boarding. This flexibility means I can tailor my schedule to your pet’s needs and provide a calm, loving environment. I do not charge more for 2 pets however for 3 pets or more there is an additional charge of £12 per pet for overnight stays.
Prices include all fees.
