quality care and genuine love :)
Pet care experience
Although I've cared for animals all my life, my professional career in animal care began in 2014. I worked as A lead zoo keeper at a big cat sanctuary/rehab for 3 years. From there i worked veterinary care, boarding and as grooming salon lead. Currently I am employed as a lead animal care technician at frindly Grove boarding facility's. My job currently allows me to work full time with some amazing domestics and I am fortunate enough to have been trained in animal care by some truley wonderful professionals. My long running animal career and medical background allows me to look at animals not only with a loving eye but also with detail, experience. i take continuing education classes every year and am devoted to a positive reinforcement approach . I love all critters and have had the fortune to work with both exotics and domesics.I am my happiest when interacting with all things furred or feathered :) I can do some grooming services at home as well
Reviews
Taegan watched my two giant pups for 14 days in my home and I couldn't be happier. Taegan walked our dogs, cleaned up after them (no small feat!!), and spoiled them to the point where I'm sure they didn't even miss us. Our home was in pristine condition when came home, and we could tell the dogs had been very well cared for. Taegan kept us informed of their day and sent photos of them, usually laying on their dog beds exhausted after a long walk. One of my pups had diarrhea, and Taegan texted asking if she could add pumpkin to his food to help manage it. It's obvious she cares deeply about animals and their well-being. I will definitely book Taegan again, and am in fact booking another reservation with her in February.
I can’t believe it took me so long to leave a review. She was the absolute best sitter I could of asked for. I was far along in my pregnancy, left my house a mess, forgot to leave my dog bones and treats and was super worried and paranoid about leaving my pup alone and probably had more separation anxiety than he did. When she came for our meet n greet he instantly fell for her and went right up to her for rubs and doing zoomies in the house around her which is very unusual for him but it’s his happy dance. We went on a walk and he walked no problem with her and I’ve had a sitter before say he wouldn’t walk at all and just ran back Into the house. So very comfortable at the meet n greet. When we left she didn’t have a problem with how messy I left the house ??♀️ and she even made him some frozen pb and kibble treats since I didn’t leave bones and brought him treat boxes for him to rip open. She gave him goodies and some mental stimulation for when she went to work. He got love and exercise and cuddles and I got constant updates and pics which I was very happy about as previous sitters didn’t and I’m overly paranoid. She was amazing and I will 100% use her again! And I know my pup will be ecstatic to see her again! Thank you so much Teagan. So sorry it took me forever to leave you a review. You were so awesome I shoulda done it the second we got home.
Taegan is a lovely pet sitter! She is always communicative, sends lots of updates and checks in frequently. She is punctual and knowledgeable about feedings, meds and exercise and is always safety conscious on walks and throughout our home. Highly recommend for dog and cat sitting!

I live in a smaller apartment in downtown olympia great for kitty watching. Guests will enjoy lots of active seagull watching and enriching views of downtown.
Information Taegan L. would like to know about your pet
I do not have a breed preference. All pups are equal. When pet sitting I just want to know how to best keep the animal comfortable. When their people are away it can be a stressful time for animals. Any information I can get to help put them at ease is great.
A typical day
walks can include going to the park or on woodsy trails nearby. maybe around a lake area. Guarantee anywhere we go there will be lots of pets and fawning over animal permitting .
