Pet care experience
You won’t find a bigger animal lover than me! 🥰 🐱 About me 🐱 I’m currently fourth year veterinary student at Iowa State University. I also received my Bachelors in Animal Science from ISU! I’m married, so I am able to leave my husband to hold down my fort so I can take care of yours! We have two Golden Retrievers & 2 cats 🦮🦮🐱🐱 🐶 Experiences 🐶 Before vet school, I worked at a local animal hospital as a veterinary technician for 5 years. Because of my experience, I am confident in my ability to handle all shapes, sizes and attitudes of your fur babies. Other experiences of mine include: emergency medicine (BluePearl), internal medicine internship, canine behavior internship (ARL), zoo medicine internship and volunteer time at the local racetrack. Upon request, I am able to provide trustworthy references.
Reviews
Our pets love her, she does a great job!
I cannot tell you how much we appreciate all you do for us Taylor. Thank you so much!
Taylor was phenomenal! Our cat is super shy and has to take three doses of oral medication a day. Taylor did a great job with her and sent detailed updates/pictures. We will definitely request her services again!
Taylor was fantastic with our 2 puppies and cats who take meds a couple times a day. We will definitely hire her again!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
🐩 Safety, trust & environment 🐩 Please let me know any likes/dislikes of your pet before my stay! I am a big believer in enrichment and engagement, so knowing your pet’s preferences will allow me to tailor my interactions to them. I generally prefer to meet the pet before staying/visiting- this helps build a relationship & prevents the “stranger danger” feel.
Information Taylor B. would like to know about your pet
With my advanced experience handling animals, there isn’t a pet I would be afraid taking care of. As a veterinary student and a veterinary technician; I have the skills and knowledge to be able to handle any situation that arrises.
A typical day
If the proposed dates/times work for me, we will ideally schedule a meet and greet. At the meet and greet, all details/expectations of the stay can be discussed! During the stay, your pet is my priority. Whether it’s 30 mins or overnight, what your pet needs will come first.

Availability
🐕🦺 Scheduling 🐕🦺 ❗️Clinical year is not consistent as far as what days I have off or when I am off. Due to the high demands of veterinary school, the number of bookings I can take will be decreased. This is just so I can give my undivided attention to the pets under my care. My calendar will be updated frequently to best represent my availability. Please reach out and I will be honest how long I would be able to spend with your pet❗️ I’m unable to take pets into my home due to small school housing, but I will gladly come to you.
