Loving, Experienced Pet Care – Tailored for You
Hi there! With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for and training high-energy breeds as well as pet and house-sitting for friends and family, I treat every dog like my own—showered with love, play, and the care they truly deserve. I work remotely from 9 am to 5 pm, which gives me the flexibility to be there for your dog throughout the day in the comfort of their home. Whether it’s a short walk, enrichment play, or just some company while you’re away, your pup will never feel alone. I also offer evening and weekend care to suit your schedule. ⭐️⭐️ PLEASE NOTE: I am having knee surgery in March 2026. I’ll be accepting bookings from June/July 2026 with some limited ability for long dog walks. What you can expect: 🐶 Fresh, healthy meals (if needed) 🐾 Daily walks and play sessions 🛏️ Plenty of rest, cuddles, and calm time 👀 24/7 supervision and on-leash safety 💞 A gentle, attentive approach—especially great for Velcro dogs or pets with separation anxiety Every pet is unique, and I follow your instructions closely to make sure your dog stays hydrated, happy, and safe in your absence. I make sure your pup feels like they’re with family, even when you’re not home.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will meet with you to understand your dog's routine and schedule, and aim to maintain this while you are away to create a safe space for them and minimise anxiety.
Ratings and reviews
This was the first time we left our young dog and from start to finish Tayana made it effortless and stress-free. Brilliant communication, super reliable and we came home to a calm happy dog and a clean and tidy home. 100% recommend.
Tayana arrived promptly, asked sensible questions and was great with Bandit. He had a lovely time and seems very relaxed. Thanks!
Tayana did a great job looking after our dog Jett.We booked on fairly short notice and she was able to fit us in.Communication was excellent and Jett was happy to go on his walks.The hot weather necessitated flexibility around times .Would be very happy to have her take care of Jett in the future.Highly recommended
Tayana was brilliant with my two dachshunds Edgar and Daphne. It is clear that Tayana has a lot of experience working with dogs and knew how to approach my anxious dog for him to trust her. She sent lots of lovely photos and videos to assure me that they were doing okay and left the house very tidy. This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of my family so I was nervous about doing this but was put at ease straight away. They are already looking forward to Tayana coming back in September!
Luca had a great time with Tayana. It was a hot weekend and she accommodated early and late walks for cooler conditions. Great communication with updates which gave us confidence Luca was being well cared for. Have already booked our next sit. Thanks
Milo obviously enjoyed his walk and looked very happy in the photos! Tayana took the time to listen to his routine and his quirks which made us at ease. Also made sure his water was topped up!

Schedule
I work a remote corporate job, allowing me flexibility to spend time with your pet during the day, spend my breaks playing and connecting with them and their needs
