Availability
Currently, I work remotely, which makes house-sitting possible. . My typical weekday involves working on my computer for 10 hours. I start work between 7am and 9am. I end the day between 5pm and 7pm. I typically don't work weekends or holidays. . On weekdays, I can start a house sit in the evening starting at 7pm or later. If you need the house sit to start earlier than 7pm on a non-holiday weekday I will consider those requests on a case-by-case basis. I can feed and take the dog(s) out to potty in the morning before starting work and I can take the dog(s) on a potty break midday. On weekends, I usually can start the sit earlier than 7pm. . During the week: I am typically not available for walks or drop-in appointments before 7pm. Weekends and holidays: On weekends and holidays I typically can accommodate walks and drop-in appointments. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to leave to get food and basic necessities during a house sit at any point. I also reserve the right to leave for 4-6 hours during the day. . Constant Care: Pets requiring constant care will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to additional fees depending on the pets specific needs. I consider a pet to need constant care if the pet: (1) cannot be left for 4 hours at a time and/or (2) will need supervision or attention during 8 hours overnight (sleep time for me) or during the day while I work.

Safety, trust & environment
In-person Meet & Greets are required prior to all services for new clients. I need to meet the pet(s) and assess temperament. . For dogs I want to go on a walk with the dogs and make sure the leashes, collars and equipment used to walk the pet is in good condition and the pet cannot slip out of the equipment. I want to see the typical walk environment and assess potential safety hazards (coyotes, aggressive dogs behind flimsy fences, debris in the area, etc.) and logistical issues (elevators, stairs, parking). . For all pets the in-person Meet & Greet will also allow me to assess the escape risks for pets and options for minimizing these risks. . The Meet & Greet will also allow you the opportunity to meet me in person, ask me questions and see me interact with your pet. Entrusting your pet and your home to a stranger is a very important decision for you and it should be taken seriously. If for some reason you do feel comfortable with me watching your pets or staying in your house after the Meet & Greet, you should meet with another sitter and find one that matches your needs. . Miscellaneous: I do not plan to bring any people or pets (other than the ones you are asking me to watch) into your home while I pet sit. . Disclaimer: I reserve the right to refuse the sit if after the Meet and Greet I am not comfortable with the situation. While I have experience with aggressive dogs and cats, my overnight sit rate is for social/well-adjusted animals. Animals in need of behavioral modification or that pose a safety risk to myself or others should be boarded at a facility that is geared towards aggressive animals. Similarly, while I have experience caring for animals post surgery or animals experiencing acute medical conditions, my overnight rate is for healthy animals and/or animals with well-controlled chronic conditions. Medically fragile animals should be boarded at a veterinary facility with 24/7 staffing.

Reliable sitter for your critter
Pet care experience
Hi pet guardians, I’m Tauri. I have extensive dog care experience, especially with large working breeds (e.g. Dobermans and German Shepherds). . I often get calls and requests from neighbors when someone needs their dog walked, watched or has an emergency. I’ve walked and watched dogs from 5lbs to 100+ pounds. I’m comfortable administering oral medicine and watching multiple dogs and other pets (cats, bunnies, birds, etc.) . . I’ve fostered four German Shepherds, one of which was aggressive toward people. The aggressive foster led me to enroll in Michael Shikashio’s Aggression in Dogs Master Course and Susan Clothier’s Treat Retreat course, which is geared towards helping dogs who are nervous interacting with people. I have experience with dogs who have separation anxiety and I am open to a constant care option on a case-by-case basis (at a higher rate). . I've raised many puppies. It's hard work caring for puppies but they are so much fun! I am very willing to do walks and drop-ins for puppies. I am open to overnight sits for puppies on a case-by-case basis.

Reviews
Tauri is a gem! She recently looked after my two large dogs and my cats, and she did an amazing job. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure your pets feel safe and completely loved. She responds quickly to messages and gave me wonderful photo updates throughout the walks, and it was so clear the pups were incredibly content. From managing evening feedings and dog medication to giving them endless love, attention, and sweet cuddles, she handles it all with ease. She is reliable, professional, and has a natural gift with animals. 5 stars all the way!
Tauri is amazing! She has been looking after my pets, and I can't recommend her enough. She is incredibly reliable, punctual, and attentive to their individual needs. I have a multi-pet household with different routines, and she handles everything seamlessly-including managing specific dietary needs, allergies, and confidently administering medications with extreme care. She provides great updates and truly puts safety first. If you are looking for a trustworthy, detail-oriented sitter who will treat your pets like her own, Tauri is the one!
Tauri is absolutely amazing. My partner and I have two big Dobermans, and anytime we need her to care for them, we’re completely at ease knowing she’s there. She even managed to get our cat—who fully believes he’s a dog—relaxed and comfortable around her, which says everything about her calm, intuitive energy with animals. She has gone above and beyond in every way, including giving Bones, our dog with DCM, his medication with care and consistency. She also walks our dogs with confidence and patience, even handling Ranger—who is adventurous, strong, and tends to pull on walks—with ease and control. We genuinely can’t recommend Tauri enough. She is reliable, trustworthy, and has such a natural way with animals that gives us total peace of mind every time.
Hi my name is Rodney and I am one of Tauris neighbors. I’ve had the honor to have Tauri be able to watch my Rottweiler mix Onyx which he absolutely adores her. She took care of him, took him for walks, played with him and also spoiled him with treats. When I needed a helping hand Tauri has always been one of the sweetest most genuine people I’ve been able to lean on. She is a great person.
