About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals—at one point, my family had six dogs, and five cats. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I genuinely love meeting animals! With over 10 years of experience in dog sitting and dog walking, I’m dedicated to making your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness my top priority. You can count on me to give them the attention, affection, and reliable care they deserve. If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m always happy to help! I currently work part-time in retail, with short shifts of about six hours a few times a week. This schedule gives me plenty of flexibility—and plenty of time to spend quality, attentive care with your pet! I can stay in your home or stop by for visits—whatever works best for you and helps your pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your needs. I do not currently have any animals of my own so I would be glad to welcome them into my home as well. We also have a small unfenced where they can enjoy some additional supervised outdoor time.

“Taika took amazing care of my pup, Hemi, while I was away on vacation! She went above and beyond in her desire to make sure Hemi and I both felt comfortable throughout his stay. She was very thorough in learning and following his typical routine, including administering his medication. I received lots of photos and updates of him living his best life, enjoying time with her pups, and relaxing in her beautiful house and yard. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Hemi will definitely be staying with Taika again in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
