“Sarah was exceptional! She was very communicative and took lots of pictures. The updates throughout my trip were fantastic and she was very attentive to make sure my pup was taken care of and comfortable. She came during the agreed upon hours and asked questions to make sure my dog followed his normal routine. I so appreciate the thoughtfulness to make sure I had peace of mind about my pup while traveling.”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 13. I personally have 5 current pets right now. This includes 1 dog 3 cats and even a turtle. I got a degree to be a veterinarian assistant and worked in an animal clinic for almost a year. Right now I am a kennel attendant at a doggy daycare. Where required online training was required. We get a variety of different dogs. Ranging from small to large, young to old, even a few dogs with some medicine issues. I'm currently working part-time. In my free time, I take my son out for walks, so I can possibly bring dogs with me. I do have my own car for transportation. I live in a neighborhood where there is a lot of strays, so when I walk my dog, I carry a spray shield, which is citronella and animal deterrent from Pet Safe. Working at a dog daycare, we get a lot of dogs with some type of medical condition. From clean Bulldogs folds to make sure dogs take their medicine when needed.
About: I’ve had many years of experience with all kinds of animals. I truly love hanging out with them even if it’s a short amount of time! I’m a college student so I have classes in the morning but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays and only for a short amount of time. I also have a part time job but my shifts average 4-5.5 hours. I’ve really dealt with everything so I’m quite comfortable with different situations. I personally have a fenced in yard and I crate my puppy since she’s still training.
About: I have been pet/house sitting for about 4 years now, and I have lots of experience caring for my own little dog, Izzy. I also have 1 year of experience volunteering at my city's animal shelter. I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. I Absolutely love spending time with animals and am compassionate about giving them the love and attention they need. I am currently on summer break for nursing school and have a very open and flexible schedule! This ensures that I am able to provide adequate and timely care to your pets. Unfortunately, my home will not be available to house your pet because my dog Izzy does not get along with other dogs or cats. But I will be more than enthused to take care of your pet in your own home, which is the best option to make them the most comfortable.
About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes. I have helped several cats through the birthing process and have been able to provide life saving care to young fosters. I believe in animal conservation and being a voice for those that don't have one. I am reliable and trustworthy and will love your pet just as much as you do. I am available to care for your pets full time. I have a guest room for overnight stays and I live in an home that has a fenced backyard. I also know of several wonderful parks that your pets would absolutely love. Boarding with Crate Trained Dogs: I offers a safe and comfortable environment for dogs and cats that are crate trained. Crate trained dogs are accustomed to spending time in their crates, which provides them with a secure and familiar space when they are not directly supervised by the pet sitter. House Sitting: In addition to providing boarding services, I also offer house sitting. This entails staying at the pet owner's home while they are away, ensuring the safety and security of both the pets and the property. House sitting offers the benefit of maintaining a consistent environment for the dogs, reducing stress and anxiety. Requirements: Crate Training Verification: I will require verification that the dogs that are boarded are crate trained. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of the dogs during their stay, as crate trained dogs are less likely to engage in destructive behavior and are more comfortable in unfamiliar settings. Vaccination Records: Before accepting any dogs for boarding or house sitting, I will request up-to-date vaccination records to confirm that the dogs are properly immunized. This requirement helps prevent the spread of contagious diseases and ensures the health of all animals involved. Meet and Greet: Prior to the scheduled boarding or house sitting period, I will conduct a meet and greet session with the dogs and their owners. This meeting allows me to get acquainted with the dogs, learn about their routines, and discuss any specific care instructions or special needs. Emergency Contact Information: I will request emergency contact information for the pet owners, including the contact details of a trusted veterinarian. This ensures that I can quickly reach out in case of any unforeseen medical situations. Feeding and Medication Instructions: I will require detailed instructions regarding the dogs' feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, and any necessary medications. Following these instructions accurately is crucial for the dogs' health and well-being during their stay. Emergency Plan: A comprehensive emergency plan will be established in case of unexpected situations, such as a natural disaster, power outage, or health emergency. This plan will outline the steps I will take to ensure the safety of the dogs and the property. Pet Owner's Consent: The pet owner will be required to sign a contract or agreement that outlines the services to be provided, the dates of boarding or house sitting, and any other terms and conditions. This contract will protect both the pet sitter and the pet owner and ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding expectations. By offering boarding services for crate trained dogs and providing house sitting, the I create a comfortable and secure environment for pets while ensuring peace of mind for their owners during their time away. The requirements and procedures in place help maintain a smooth and enjoyable experience for all parties involved. I work from home so I can take care of your pup from anywhere whether it's at your place or mine we are sure to have a great time. I have a designated guest room for boarding and am happy to accommodate your furry friend however they need. Please let me know of any special needs or requests.

My cat is a very skittish cat. He is very loving around the people he accepts. Taylor does an exceptional job taking care of my cat. From my first time using Rover Taylor was able to get him to interact with her. I don’t travel a lot and she is able to get Buddy to come out for her with her even after not seeing her for months. I have friends and family visit, that he has been around a lot, where he will hide and never show himself. .i will definitely keep using her as my pet sitter and recommend 100%.
