About: Hi! I’m Taylor — a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. I had my own dog for almost 16 wonderful years, and she was truly a beloved part of my life. After she passed, I began fostering because I couldn’t imagine life without dogs. I’ve now fostered several dogs, each with their own needs, quirks, and snuggle preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and love helping dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether that means giving extra cuddles, creating calm routines, or simply being a reassuring presence. I’m also a very active person, so if your dog enjoys long walks or even going for runs, I’m happy to match their energy. High-energy pups are always welcome! My goal is to make your dog feel at home and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry family member and care for them like my own. I work 100% remote so spend the majority of my day at home and would be with your furry friend. I am able to easily bake in walks and playtime during my workday to ensure they get the attention and exercise they need! We have a nice porch and a fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy time outside without worry. We also have a crate here for up to 70 lbs dog and can safely crate your pet to ensure they are comfortable and safe if left alone.

“Jasmine was a total lifesaver with her ability to take my puppy in with less than a day’s notice. She took such excellent care of Runa, keeping her actively engaged in various activities as well as keeping me posted throughout the day. Runa is home now and sleeping like a rock. Couldn’t recommend Jasmine more.”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals, dogs, Guinea pigs and cats basically my whole life. I have trained all my puppies to be potty trained As a full-time pet care provider, I am available weekdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM to offer midday dog walks and drop-in visits for your pets. This schedule also accommodates any overnight pet care responsibilities I am attending to, ensuring your pets receive consistent care both day and night. What Overnight Stays Include: Overnight pet care typically begins in the evening between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM and ends the following morning around 8:00 AM–9:00 AM. During overnight stays, I provide: • Evening and morning walks • Fresh food and water • Medication administration (if needed) • Plenty of snuggles, attention, and companionship • Litter box or yard clean-up • Home security checks and plant watering (if requested) Your pet will enjoy a peaceful and safe night in the comfort of their home, with someone they know and trust close by. Establishing a consistent routine is essential for pets of all ages. Upon arrival, I'll attend to your pet's needs promptly, starting with a walk if crated, followed by plenty of reassuring praise. After the walk, I'll meticulously adhere to your feeding and care instructions.

Matt is fantastic. My dog Ru loves going to his house so much that she sprints to his front door and will not look back for me at all. She has a great time with him and when I pick her up she is happy and tired in the best way. He clearly has a great understanding of dogs and is very professional and communicative. I feel completely confident leaving my girl there and I know she has the absolute best care.

We were nervous to entrust our 13-lb Morkie, Miles, with anyone. 15 years old this November, incontinence, (yes he wears dog diapers), partial blindness, and early dementia are primary areas he contends with. When I picked up Miles up after the first day, he was just fine: partially wore out, clean, and ready to eat! We were pleased and immediately rebooked for the following day. Thank you Keesha, we will definitely be calling you whenever we need coverage for our Pootah!
