Lower East Side Dog Lover!
Pet care experience
A Lower East Side resident who loves dogs, plain and simple. I grew up with 4 dogs and still visit them all at my parents' house in NJ as often as a I can. In college I volunteered at a shelter and took in fosters in the city as my apartment allows. I am looking to get more pups in my life! I have experience with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and temperments. I am passionate about getting dogs to be more active and would love to take your pups for a stroll or to the park while you're busy! I am available at home most weekdays and weekends during the day and early evening and have very flexible hours. Feel free to contact me with questions you may have! I look forward to meeting you and your dog.
Reviews
Taylor was AMAZING! This was our first Rover experience. I was quite nervous to leave my "baby" with someone I did not know. However, Taylor immediately felt like someone we had known forever as she loved on Max within moments. Taylor was professional, accommodating to my schedule and Max's energy levels, and above all loving towards my Max. Rover is lucky to have Taylor as such a wonderful sitter, especially for a pet owner who sees her furry friend as her child. She has put the bar at a high level for our next Rover. Thank you, Taylor. ?
Taylor is a very caring and experienced dog owner!!! Her family has had many dogs, so she has grown up with them. She also volunteers at the local dog shelter. She's an awesome person and loves animals. Taylor is reliable, responsible, and loves to pet the pups!
Taylor has watched my dog for a few nights. She is very caring and very attentive to my dogs. She has her own dogs and has gone above and beyond making sure my dogs were comfortable while away from me. She is respectful, on time, and very professional. One of my dogs needs more medical care and attention than the other and she handled his care beautifully! 10/10 would recommend her to watch your pets!

Safety, trust & environment
As an experienced dog walker and in-home dog sitter, my utmost priority is the safety and well-being of the pets entrusted to my care. When providing my services, I ensure I incorporate the following practices to prioritize safety and exercise for the dogs: 1. Close supervision: I closely monitor the dogs under my care at all times, paying attention to their behavior, needs, and any potential safety hazards in their surroundings. 2. Leash policies: During dog walks, I always keep dogs on a leash unless otherwise specified by the owner. This ensures their safety, prevents potential accidents, and allows me to have full control over their movements. 3. Secure and pet-friendly environment: During in-home sitting, I create a safe and comfortable environment for dogs. This includes securing any potential hazards, such as toxic substances or open windows, and providing them with a designated area where they can relax and play. 4. Regular exercise: Dogs thrive on physical activity, so I prioritize exercise during each session. Whether it's a walk, a run in the park, or engaging playtime, I ensure dogs receive adequate exercise to keep them healthy, happy, and mentally stimulated. 5. Adherence to routines and instructions: I understand the importance of following owners' instructions and maintaining consistency in their pets' routines. Whether it's feeding schedules, medication administration, or specific training techniques, I make sure to adhere to all instructions provided by owners to provide a seamless experience for the dogs. 6. Open communication: I believe in maintaining open and transparent communication with pet owners. This includes regular updates on their dog's well-being, any concerns or observations during my services, and sharing photos or videos to keep them informed and reassured about their beloved furry companions. By combining a strong focus on safety with regular exercise and open communication, I strive to provide exceptional care for dogs during my dog walking and in-home dog sitting services.
Information Taylor D. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if your dog is potty trained and leash trained and if they prefer to be alone on their walks or would rather be in a public place! If there is anything that necessarily triggers them, would need to know!
A typical day
Living in a NYC provides an array of exciting opportunities to engage with the dogs I watch. A few examples! 1. Long walks, of course! Exploring the streets and nearby parks during our walks allows the dogs to experience new sights, sounds, and smells, keeping their senses stimulated and providing them with a change of scenery. 2. Dog-friendly parks: if appropriate, I love to take dogs to the park, allowing them to interact with other dogs and burn off some energy in a safe and controlled environment. 3. Interactive play: Engaging in interactive games like fetch, Frisbee, or using puzzle toys challenges the dogs mentally and physically, keeping them entertained and providing an outlet for their energy. 4. Dog-friendly events: NY has tons of pet-focused events! With the owner's permission, I like to bring the dogs along to partake in these exciting social gatherings. 5. Personalized activities: I believe in catering to each dog's unique interests and preferences. Whether it's a game of hide-and-seek, a relaxing belly rub session, or even a trip to a dog-friendly café, I strive to create personalized activities that bring joy and happiness to the dogs I care for. Overall, I am committed to ensuring that the dogs I watch have a fun-filled and enjoyable time, with activities that cater to their needs and individual personalities while exploring all the exciting opportunities the city has to offer.
