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.

A typical day

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!

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a 30 year old professional working in technology sales and I work from home full-time. I grew up in a family with multiple cats and 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 five year old Samoyed, 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 or 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 stay 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* Since I WFH, it is fairly easy for me to be flexible with my schedule in taking the dogs out. Having owned my dog Thor for 5 years now, we are in a great routine of an early morning, mid afternoon, and evening walk. 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 rein of my home and plenty of toys to play with and share with my dog Thor!

Tayla and her trusty sidekick Thor were fantastic! My dog had the best time and was clearly super comfortable. All the sunbathing, blanket snuggling, nature walking, and dog buddy photos made me so happy to see her having such a great stay!

Awesome! We had a great vacation knowing that our beloved pet was being watched by Tayla. Tayla and Thor are fabulous pet sitters!

Tayla was fantastic. She sent lots of videos and pictures. She was super flexible for drop off and pick up. She has another friendly dog so our dog got to play all day (especially when cold). Even when we knew it was below freezing with windchill in the teens she was still sending us pictures of her walking Rory. Lastly in her pictures we could tell she was allowing Rory to get comfy on other couches / rooms so that dog was cozy. Definitely wits book again.
