WFH dog mom- years of experience!

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a 28 year old professional working in technology sales and work from home full-time. I grew up in a family with multiple cats/ dogs, and have experience caring for pets since the age of 12. My family’s dogs included a Jack Russell as well as a Bernese, so I’m used to caring for dogs of all sizes. I also have my own fur baby named Thor who is a Samoyed is 1 and a half, so I am used to taking care of high maintenance and strong-willed breeds as well. I am very energetic and love being outdoors, going on runs, hikes, walks and more! I am home almost all week days/ weekends, and would love to walk/ board your dog and treat them as if they were my own. I’m sure Thor would love to have some dog friends around too! I’m incredibly responsive, so if you have any questions/ concerns during your dog’s time with me, I will promptly reply and send plenty of photo updates as well! *Due to the safety of other dogs and my own, I am not accepting pitbulls or pitbull mixes at this time* I work from home full time so it is fairly easy for me to be flexible with my schedule in taking the dogs out. Having owned my dog Thor for 3 years now, we are in a great routine of an early morning, mid afternoon, and evening walk. I do my best to prioritize his needs, and the same can be said about any of the dogs that I watch. I like to work with each client individually to accommodate their own unique wants/ needs. Typically I let the dogs sleep in my bed or on the couch (whatever makes them feel most comfortable and at home) but if you’d prefer them to be crated at night that can be arranged as well. During the day, they have free reign of my apartment and plenty of toys to play with and share with my dog Thor!

Phenomenal, outstanding, 5+++++ stars. Tayla was the best sitter we could imagine for our Molly girl. She was attentive, caring, and kept us informed. We were so lucky to have picked her from the Rover site. We selected Tayla based on her bio and reviews and both were true. This was the first time we needed a sitter other than family and it worked perfectly. Nice person, great pet owner, fabulous pet sitter!

Best sitter Vegas has ever had! Non stop updates and pictures. Her dog Thor is a sweetheart and got along very well with my dog. Plan on having her sit every time we need it!

Tayla is incredible! She accepted a last minute request to watch my 2 month old puppy Rio over the Thanksgiving holiday. My puppy warmed up to Tayla and her sweet dog Thor very quickly and it was clear to me that Tayla had a ton of experience with watching dogs of all ages and breeds. She shared consistent updates throughout the visit which put my mind at ease. When I picked up my puppy I could tell how happy and comfortable he was. Her dog Thor is so sweet and I’m happy my puppy had a doggy friend to hang out with during my time away. You can tell Tayla really cares about animals and wants to make them feel at home! Your pup is in good hands with Tayla!

Information Tayla G. would like to know about your pet

The more information you are able to provide about your dog up front the better. It is extremely helpful to know if they have any separation anxiety, food allergies, sleeping preferences, their bathroom and eating schedules and any other information you think will make their stay the best possible experience.

I love to take my dog Thor/ any dogs I watch to the park (fenced in) down the street from my apartment. I also love going on long walks down at the boardwalk on town lake!
