Pet care experience

I’m ready to love your pets! 🫶🏽😊

Hi! I’m Taya (: I live in Cowiche, WA (about 15-20min from Yakima). I’m a 22 year old college student who is a certified animal lover 😊. I’ve grown up surrounded by all animals - dogs, cats, fish, horses, cows etc. I’ve done pet sitting/walking off and on for about 6 years now. My family and I have a few fur babies of our own - 2 Dachshunds, 1 Rottweiler, 1 Belgian Malinois, and 2 cats (: My schedule is pretty flexible, as I take college classes online and I’m a certified HCA/CNA and my schedule for that is not full at the moment. I’d love to be your next pet sitter!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At my home your pets will be allowed on the couch, bed, chair, pretty much whenever 😅 (if that’s okay with you!) Unfortunately I do not have a fenced yard. However, where I live I’m far from the main road and surrounded by orchards, and my yard is really big and open. I will always be outside with your pets to make sure they remain safe and bring them back inside when done! I can easily crate your pets if wanted/needed. If we are just doing walks or in-home visits, I will follow your instructions on what to do with your fur baby!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with her! From the very first visit, she made me feel completely safe, comfortable, and at ease trusting her with my babies. I have two cats, and they are truly my children and she treated them exactly that way. She went above and beyond in every possible way: checking in on them carefully, making sure all their needs were met, spending quality time with them, and keeping me updated so I never had a moment of worry. Her attention to detail, kindness, and genuine love for animals truly shine through. It’s not easy leaving your pets behind, but knowing they were in her care made everything stress-free. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and truly cares, look no further. I would book with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone who wants the absolute best care for their pets. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my babies! 💕🐾 thank you thank you thank you!!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

House Sitting • Apr 16, 2025

Taya, sat for my 4 dogs for 12 days. This was the longest we had be away ever, so I was worried about their behaviors. Taya kept me updated daily with pictures and videos. She managed accidents in the house and cleaned them up, a naughty dog that ate her bedding and escaped her crate (not Taya's fault). When we got home everything was in great order. We look forward to working with Taya again.

Taya was wonderful and we would not want to use anybody else but her in the future. Our dogs loved her. we will definitely be recommending her to any of our friends who are looking for a dog sitter. Terry and Shellie Renteria

Taya was prompt for our 4:30 appointment and charmed both our cat Bud and our stubborn dog May. We're looking forward to having her come for a longer stay very soon.

Taya gave us short notice (30 mins or less) twice she wasn't going to make it for the afternoon appointment. We really depended on her to let our dogs out during the afternoon, but the short notice put us in a bind and we had to call around since we work out of town. We had been using her services for the past several months and everything was going great until recently.

The only things I’d ask to know before hand is anything your pet is allergic to and what behaviors to look out for and how you’d want me to handle them! Also, specifics on what you do/do not want me to do with your pets.
