Pet care experience

All pets are family.

I've adopted strays since I was a kid and I convinced my parents that I would personally take the best care for them that anyone could. I still try to live up to that. I've adopted, rehabilitated, and rehomed over 30 pets in my life, putting me into some credit card debt at times, but for good reason. I treat my pets as members of my family, maybe better even. I strive to make sure they are happy and healthy, getting the best diet for their needs, exercise, attention (talking to them, asking them questions, training and playing with them, growing their vocabulary), and overall time from me. I always tell my friends that the best training their dog can get is for them to spend time with them and learn who they are and what they expect, but that the human needs to learn what the dog wants too. I am a quiet person, but consider myself very responsible and an animal lover. I have pet sat for people from colleagues to neighbors, and their family. I have cared for elderly and sick pets, including pets with diabetes and epilepsy, and am confident in my ability to act calmly and swiftly in a crisis if one were to arise. I am available for walks and home checks Wednesday-Friday, every other Saturday and Sunday, and Monday and Tuesday evenings. I unfortunately can't take on care for cats any longer due to a worsened cat allergy. 😿

Tait is professional, responsible, and is great with animals! She has a calm, comforting presence that puts pets at ease. Even my scaredy cat will let her pet him! I strongly recommend her services.

Tait was amazing with our dog and cats! Our dog is super picky and he took right to Tait. She updated me every time she came by the house. She even went the extra mile and stood by as he ate as he is a social eater. I would definitely recommend her to others!

Tait has an amazing connection with dogs - all animals really. Dogs just seem to gravitate to her. While she is great with puppies and younger dogs (who doesn't love puppies!) and is a natural with training, she seems especially empathetic with older dogs. She has lots of experience in providing medications when needed, and special care for doggies with special needs. She is among the most thoughtful and responsible animal caregivers I have ever work with. She will truly love your pup and provide all the care you would in your absence.

Tait is the most responsible pet owner that I know! She is very knowledgeable on dog behavior and how to best take care of them. She has fostered many dogs throughout her life and always goes above and beyond what is required of her to make sure her dogs are happy. Tait is one of the very few people who I would trust completely to take care of my dogs. She loves all animals and yours will be no different. You and your dog will no regret meeting her!

Tait is the most conscientious and dedicated animal lover I have ever known! She has personally 'rescued', and found homes for, over a dozen dogs that I am aware of. She has cared for my dog, in sickness and health. Taking her to the vet for me, when I was unavailable. You just couldn't find a more trustworthy and animal loving person than Tait

I would like to know what your dog's favorite game and/or toy is, what they might be weary of, and what they may get excited over. Also, if they are good with other dogs if I will be taking them on walks.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
