Hi, there - I'm Taryn, an experienced cat and dog sitter with a passion for pets. I believe it's important to give your pet the stimulation they need - they can get bored and lonely without you around, and they need both a bit of company and a bit of fun. That may mean walks for your dog (usually around half an hour) or some play time with your cat's favourite toy. It's also important to respect your pet's personality and preferences, especially when it comes to how much affection they want (or don't want).

From a practical point of view, I'll cater your pet's particular needs including dietary restrictions. I have a few tricks for administering medication if needed (even to cats) and have looked after disabled animals before. I'm calm and capable in an emergency.

I'll keep in touch with you and update you daily over Whatsapp or other messaging apps. Trust me, photos of your pet will look much cuter when you don't have to do any of the work for them, but know they are in good hands.

I can come in daily in or housesit for you the whole time you're away. If I come in daily, I usually come according to your pet's mealtimes. If you have other needs, let me know and I'm sure we can make a plan.
