Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated animal care specialist
I am a former pre-veterinary major who has dedicated my entire life to caring for animals! I got my first job caring for animals at a horse barn when I was 14, and since then I have over 5 years of experience as an animal care attendant at 2 different doggy daycare/boarding facilties. These jobs gave me important skills such as reading animal body language, administering medications, safely handling reactive dogs, basic grooming tasks, the importance of canine enrichment, the safe way to use training collars/equipment (prong collars, e-collars, ect.), and knowledge of breed characteristics. The 2nd facility I worked at specialized in taking medical/therapeutic cases which gave me a ton of experience with pets that may need extra attention/medical care such as seniors, dogs with epilepsy, IVDD, hind end weakness, visual/hearing impairments, and much more. I am always willing to adjust to each individual pet and their needs! I have just recently started working at a non-profit service dog organization called NEADS. My position is in the Early Learning Center, which consists of working with the puppies from 8-12 weeks and preparing them to be great service dogs for people with disabilities!

Safety, trust & environment
As someone who aspires to have a career of caring for and helping animals, I fully believe in treating each pet as if they are my own. I view each pet as an individual and understand that they each have unique needs, routines, likes and dislikes.
Ratings and reviews
Taylah was fabulous. She took great care of my Stevie and sent me photos. I highly recommend her.
Taylah was great with Pepper. We got frequent updates, she engaged with Pepper and took her for a walk and gave her great company. Taylah also came by for a meet and greet which was super appreciated. We would definitely book her services again. Pepper loved her!
Taylah was great! She was super attentive, all our boys were well cared for and the house was about as we left it if not better! We would definitely have her watch the boys and our place again.
I recently entrusted my home and beloved dog, who has a dry eye problem, to Taylah for a five-day period. I am delighted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with her care. From the moment I met Taylah, her genuine love and concern for animals were evident. She took the time to understand my dog's specific needs, particularly her dry eye condition, which requires attentive and specialized care. I felt reassured knowing that my dog was in capable hands. Throughout the five days, Taylah demonstrated unparalleled dedication and responsibility. She followed my instructions meticulously, ensuring that my dog received his eye drops on schedule. Not only did Taylah provide excellent medical care, but she also showered my dog with affection and attention. She took her for regular walks, maintained her feeding routine. As a result, my dog seemed content and happy upon my return, which speaks volumes about the quality of care she received. Moreover, Taylah went above and beyond by taking care of additional household tasks during her stay. She kept my home tidy, watered my plants, and ensured that everything was in order. Her proactive approach and thoughtfulness alleviated any worries I had about leaving my home unattended. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate individual to care for their furry companions. I look forward to booking your services again in the future.
Taylah helped us so much during our travel time, she visited our dog and was extremely friendly and gentle with him. We are so grateful for having Taylah watching our dog.
I was very happy to have Taylah watch my dog Priscilla for a few nights. I got regular updates and pictures. Definitely would recommend and book her again!
