Taryn has cared for my many pets multiple times (dog, cat, chickens, and even gecko) and always does an excellent job. She not only takes the time to make sure the basics are covered, but also goes the extra mile by taking the time to socialize with them. It makes me feel better knowing that they're well taken care of and aren't so lonely when I'm gone. I think the thing I appreciate most of all, though, is how she communicates with me if she has any concerns or if some of my instructions weren't clear, etc. It lets me know that she truly cares about my pets.
