Taylor’s Dog Care

Pet care experience

I have had extensive pet care experience over the years. I have cared for both dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor pets, and I am comfortable with administering medication if needed. In my previous job, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets under my care. I also kept an eye on their health and reported any concerns to their owners. I am passionate about providing the best possible care for animals and I enjoy spending time with them.

Overall the experience was a bit off. I never met Alex nor did Alex communicate with me through the app to tell me his girlfriend would be assisting with my dogs. They watched my dogs over night and I never received a photo or a check-in just letting me my pets were doing okay. I picked up my dogs and his girlfriend apologized that Alex was not available as he was sick. She was great and appreciated her taking my pups in, but the situation was caused me a bit of anxiety as I was unaware of the changes.

What a sweet family. My big boy did great with the two small doggos in house. Alex updated us daily, went on walks and even gave him a bath! 10/10 would recommend

Took great care of my girl Ruthie, who is an energetic pitbull. They let her go for a swim in their pool, and were super understanding about any accidents she had. Also very accommodating with timing of drop-off and pickup!!

Safety, trust & environment

Well, I think my approach to caring for my pets at home is pretty comprehensive. Firstly, I make sure to provide them with a clean environment, which means their area and kennel is cleaned as well as, beddings are changed regularly. I also make sure they have access to plenty of fresh water and nutritious food. In terms of exercise and playtime, I schedule a set amount of time each day for interactive play and exercise, in addition to walks outdoors. This keeps them happy, healthy and stimulated both physically and mentally. I also prioritize their medical needs by ensuring they receive regular checkups and vaccinations as needed. This proactive approach helps to prevent health problems down the line. Overall, I believe that providing a safe and nurturing environment, plenty of exercise and playtime, and proactive medical care are all key to caring for pets in a responsible and effective way.

Information Alex E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I need to account for. That way I can better care for your animal.

A typical day

Start the day by waking up early, taking your furry friends for a walk, and enjoying a cup of coffee together while enjoying the fresh air. You can then spend some time playing with your pets, which can include games such as hide-and-seek, fetch, or chasing each other. After some fun time playing, you can give your pets some grooming and training sessions. This will help them stay healthy and well-behaved. You can also make some time for cuddles and relaxing with your pets, watching TV, reading a book, or just enjoying each other’s company. In the evening, you can go for another walk, play some more games, and then prepare a special treat for your pets. Reward them with their favorite goodies or a homemade recipe. Finally, wrap up the day by spending some quality time with your pets, snuggling up and creating cherished moments that you can cherish forever.

Well, pet care is an essential part of our daily and weekly routines, especially for pet owners like me. When it comes to taking care of our pets, we need to ensure that they are healthy, happy, and safe. This means providing them with proper nutrition, exercise, grooming, and veterinary care. As a pet owner, my daily pet care routine involves feeding my pet, giving them fresh water, and taking them for a walk or providing them with playtime. Additionally, I take some time to clean up after my pet, such as cleaning their litter box or picking up after them outside. Weekly pet care routines can involve much more, like giving my pet a bath, cleaning their bedding or cage, and checking for any potential health issues or concerns. I also make it a point to play with my pet and teach them new tricks during the week to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. Overall, pet care is a responsibility that pet owners like myself need to take seriously. By incorporating daily and weekly routines, we can ensure that our pets continue to thrive and live healthy, happy lives.
