We treat your pets like family

Pet care experience

I grew up with two small dogs - Sam (Japanese Chin-Poodle Mix) and Liz (Shih-Tzu). Currently, I own two mixed-breed dogs with my husband in Newburg, PA. During high school and college, I dog-sat for family, friends and neighbors. I mainly have experience with small to medium-sized dogs; however, I’ve been recently volunteering at Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter to help me gain more experience with larger breeds. I also have experience with the following: puppy training, older dogs with special needs, and caring for dogs who are in post-surgery recovery/rehabilitation. I also possess general grooming skills which includes bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and basic body grooming with clippers.

Bith Taylor and Alan are very caring and attentive let people. They have watched my chihuahua Foxy on multiple occasions and she loves them. Taylor was even kind enough to watch her for a week while we went on vacation right after she was fixed. Provided plenty of updates whenever we asked. Very kind and caring people.

Taylor is a wonderful pet caregiver. I have a golden retriever and a German shepherd mix. I was away all day for a trip, and she came to my home to let my dogs out twice to go potty and play throughout the day. She did everything I asked her to do. I will definitely hire her again for taking care of my pups!

Taylor is so incredible with all of our pets. She is so kind and gentle and all of my pets absolutely love her! Taylor is honest, trustworthy, and responsible.

Taylor is a wonderful, trustworthy and honest person who truly cares about the well-being of any fur baby that she has the pleasure of meeting. Having two fur babies of her own, she treats every pet as though they were part of her family. If your pet has specific needs, or you want to continue a routine/training, Taylor will be sure to follow it to the best of her ability. If your pet is anxious about being separated from you, she makes it a priority to help them work through their anxiety. Taylor will also keep you updated on their fun time together by sending you pictures that will surely put a smile on your face and ease any worry that you may have had. When she watches our two fur babies, they are super excited to be with her, and any separation anxiety that may have, is diminished during our departure. I would highly recommend Taylor for that personal and nurturing treatment that you most likely will not get from boarding your pet at a kennel.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfortability are very important to us. Our home is a one-story rancher with a fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for your dog to explore and get their zoomies out! We ensure there are slow, positive, leash-controlled introductions with our dogs and any other dogs in our care in order for the new dog to feel comfortable and accepted. All dogs are under supervised play and given access to appropriately-sized toys and treats for their breed. Feedings are given in a separate room away from our dogs. We use baby gates and shut doors to keep dogs within a limited, supervised area. At night, dogs are allowed to sleep in bed with us, on the floor in their own bed or in a crate that can be set up in our room. Walks are done around our quiet neighborhood or at the Hopewell Township Park which is a 5 minute walk from our home. Proper harness setup and leash attachment will be checked prior to going on the walk to ensure their safety. For pick-up or drop-off car rides, we provide a dog hammock in the backseat of our Toyota RAV4 and attach the dog’s harness to a seatbelt. If your dog has their own car seat, we can certainly use it, as long as they’re able to be buckled in. Your contact information and vet information will be readily available in case of emergency.

Information Taylor & Alan R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific dietary, health, behavioral or training needs. We want to make sure everyone is safe and taken care of in the household.

A typical day

When the weather is nice, I love to take dogs outside in our yard to play on our small agility course, throw the ball around, play a game of chase, go on a walk or just let the dogs enjoy the sunshine. When the weather is not as nice, we have puzzle games and frozen treats to keep the dogs mentally stimulated. We also like to cuddle and give pets, if they're more of a couch potato!
