“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”

About: Animal lover and wannabe veterinarian who has a racing addiction. I run- a lot. If you would like me to give your pet an all-out exercise (while keeping them happy and safe of course) I am a great escort. I have always had dogs and an very comfortable making friends quick with dog speak through chase-and-run-away games, gentle mannerisms, and the best pets. I work best with high-energy animals but can always take any of your furry friends on a nice walk too I usually do 7-12 mile runs for my latest race training 2x a week. A mile or two with your furry friend is an easy pit stop for me. Anything shorter or slower is just as easy I have 3 years of experience caring for patients in hospitals, so I am very equipped to help your dog in any situation. I have only been dogless for maybe 2-3 years in my life. I currently live without or family pets so I’m just looking for someone to let me borrow theirs!

About: With 15 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a genuine love to every pet I care for. Having owned animals myself, I understand their unique needs and personalities, and I treat each one with the same respect and attention I give my own pets. My extensive experience has taught me how to provide both the physical and emotional care animals require, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I am committed, responsible, and truly passionate about enhancing the well-being of every pet I look after, and I truly understand the bond between humans and their furry companions. As a mostly remote employee, I have flexibility to care for my clients pets throughout the week. On Tuesdays, when I go into the office, I ensure they have extra attention before I leave and arrange for a midday check-in. I ensure that pets receive the love, attention, and comfort they need while their owners are away. By providing extra affection and creating a safe, nurturing environment, I help pets feel secure and loved. Having been a pet owner myself, I truly understand the deep bond between an animal and its caregiver. My animals are an integral part of my life, so I approach every pet with the same care and dedication, prioritizing their emotional and physical well-being. Whether in my home or a client’s, I customize care to meet each pet's unique needs, offering them a sense of familiarity and love.
