Pet care experience
I’ve been in pet care for 10+ years - though I’m new to Rover as I recently made the move East from LA! My work with dogs and cats has included boarding, walking, and even special dietary cooking. I love bringing fun and energy to walks so that pups get good exercise, play and some running in (depending on their abilities). I am a trained meditation teacher (2 years of formal training and 10 years of practice) and try to offer a grounded sense of calm to foster trust, safety, and a secure connection for all the pets I work with. I care very deeply about making sure dogs and cats feel encouraged and uplifted after spending time with me. I can’t wait to meet your loved one!
Reviews
Taus is amazing with my very loud, unfriendly and usually untrusting mini golden doodle, Ginger. Taus really took the time to build up trust with Ginger for her upcoming walks. You can tell Taus is well educated on dog behavior. I’m happy and relieved to have found Taus for our regular dog walking needs. Highly recommend!
Taus was amazing, they treated our dog so well with walks and love and care. They were super receptive to all my instructions and made me feel comfortable that my pup would be in good hands. They were communicative and sent really great photo updates. We will definitely reach out to them again when we need a sitter.
Taus was terrific. Did a meet and greet and I could see how Taus immediately connected with my dog. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend. My senior dog had a great doggy daycare day with Taus. I wish I lived locally so I could rebook. I got photos and videos of her galavanting around town (with my permission), visiting local shops and having the time of her life. Communication was super smooth leading up to the day, and we even got to video chat before the booking. Taus asked what else could be done to make Myrtle’s stay as comfortable as possible, which was very sweet.

Safety, trust & environment
All my pet care services vary based on your pet and your specific needs. I listen and ask questions first and want to know as much up front as possible. I know it can be challenging for pets to be away from their families and so I like to view my time with them as an opportunity to create a safe vacation-like experience where they get to have fun, be cared for, and get to do lots of the things they truly love to do … and hopefully learn new loves! Beyond that, I discuss a regular rhythm of communication with you so you can get photo and video updates. If I am in your home, I will treat your pets and your space with the utmost care and respect. It matters to me that you have peace of mind around your pet care decisions.

Information Taus J. would like to know about your pet
I’m very happy to chat with you about the specific care needs of your pet. Please let me know up front if there are any health issues I should be aware of. Also, please let me know if your pet has any triggers and how you’ve found is best to work with them. I’m here to be your dog or cats responsible friend and a part of your animal care team as needed!
A typical day
I always chat with you first to get a sense of pets loves, likes and dislikes. That said, I personally love taking pups to parks and on long hikes - it gets them in their body and keeps their minds engaged with new smells and explorations. For those who are older or unable to do physical activity, I make adjustments to their ability. I also love to cuddle, play fetch with their toys, play puzzle games, sunbathe, read and sing to them. If your pet is boarding with me or I’m house sitting, we’re going to spend our day together - which could involve anything from cuddling to cooking to walking to playing fetch and running around. I’ve also been known to do doggy affirmations - I’ve found regular uplifting, encouraging and kind speech seems to boost confidence and keeps spirits high.

Availability
I have a flexible schedule with open availability. I can regularly walk dogs in the morning, mid day or evening. I only take on one pet or one pet family (multiple animals from the same household) per booked time which means your pet(s) will always receive my undivided attention and care whether it’s a walk or an overnight stay.
