Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ridgway

About: I have been a dedicated pet owner and caregiver my entire life. I grew up in an animal loving home so I have been around dogs and cats quite literally forever. I bring over 20 years of experience caring for animals ranging from puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats requiring medication. My background includes managing different temperaments, administering oral and topical medications, and making sure all dietary and exercise routines are followed exactly how you need and want them to be. I pride myself on reliability and clear communication, guaranteeing your peace of mind while you're away. Your fur babies will be taken care of just like they are my own. Since I am a stay at home mom to two toddlers, my schedule is more open to create time for what you expect out of dog walks and home visits. With my schedule, I require less notice in advance than others. Unlike people with strict work schedules, my flexibility means I am available throughout the day everyday, so I can give reliable care exactly when your pet needs it. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable and safe in their own environment while giving them the care that I would want my cats and dog to receive.

“Taryn did an amazing job taking care of our Strudel while we were away on vacation. She came on the scheduled days, spent time with Strudel each visit and sent photos and a detailed update. We WILL be using her again next time we are away and need Strudel looked after. Taryn is a caring person that really loves caring for animals. Thank you Taryn.”

“Mallory did a great job with my kitten! Her communication was fantastic throughout the whole week and she answered any questions in a timely manner. My cat seemed to have lots of fun with her during the week.”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my family for most of my life! Growing up I learned to take good care of them and love on them. Since high school, I have helped out my neighbors by pet-sitting and house-sitting. I loved getting to visit the pets and make sure they were well cared for. Our pets deserve the best and I want to make that happen! I am a full time college student at WKU, but when I am not in class, I would love to care for your pet! I usually have free time in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, and I am typically available on weekends. Feel free to reach out and I am happy to be flexible finding a day and time that works for you! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with 3 roommates. They all love animals but will not be too involved with the pets. There are plenty of areas outside for your pet. We have a large living room space and a balcony which is usually closed. Pets are welcome on furniture and they can be in the living room or my bedroom. Currently there are no other animals in our apartment.
