Pet care experience

Safe, Snuggly, Stress-Free Pet Care

I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. As a Certified Nursing Assistant, I’m naturally attentive, responsible, and detail-oriented — I notice small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels right away. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, administering basic medications, and sticking to structured routines. I understand that pets are family, so I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making them feel secure and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or calm companionship, I adapt to their personality and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow all care instructions exactly as written — including feeding schedules, medication routines, crate training, and household rules. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly notice if something seems off. As a CNA, I’m used to being observant and proactive, which helps me respond calmly and responsibly in any situation. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — and for you to have complete peace of mind.

Tayla was very kind and took great care of our Sammy girl! She washed the sheets and towels used which was not expected and we are appreciative of that extra step to leave the house clean for us! I would like a few more updates and pictures while we are gone to keep better communication (Sammy is our baby)! Other than that, she did wonderful and we would absolutely use her again! Thanks Tayla!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I already prioritize structure, responsibility, and time management. I work three 12-hour shifts as a CNA, which means I have several full days off each week where I can dedicate focused time to pet care. On my workdays, I’m still available for drop-ins or evening care, and on my days off, I’m flexible for walks, extended visits, or overnight stays. Caring for others is already part of my lifestyle, so adding pets into my routine feels natural and fulfilling rather than overwhelming.

Before caring for your pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any medical needs or allergies. It’s also helpful to understand their temperament — how they do with new people, other animals, loud noises, or being left alone. If they have any triggers, fears, or specific training cues, I’d love to know those as well so I can keep things consistent for them. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible by keeping their routine familiar and respecting their individual personality.
