Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or quirks. I follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also give regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure they feel secure, happy, and at home—wherever they are.

Information Taylor D. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know anything that will make your pet feel more comfortable—like their daily routine, favorite toys, quirks, or any triggers they might have. I also like to know about any health issues, medications, allergies, or behavioral needs (like leash reactivity or separation anxiety). The more I know upfront, the better I can tailor their care and make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home.

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of playtime, walks (or backyard time if they prefer), meals on schedule, and lots of love and attention. I adjust to each pet’s energy level—whether that means fetch in the yard, a quiet stroll, or just hanging out and getting belly rubs. I also keep things structured with their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and at ease. And of course, there are always treats (if allowed) and photo updates for you!

Pets

Taylor D. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Flexible. Friendly. Focused.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life—since I was 5 years old. My mom is a dog groomer, and I worked with her for years, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I currently have three of my own, ranging from 40 to 190 lbs, so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy pups. I’m confident with everything from basic care to reading dog body language and managing senior or anxious dogs with patience and calm energy.

Taylor was fabulous with my 2 pups. They can be slow to warm up and one can be reactive at times. They both ended up loving her! I love that we did a meet and greet beforehand. She was great with updates and sending pics of my fur babies. I would highly recommend and if I need a sitter in the future, I will definitely use her again.

Taylor did such an amazing job watching our two cats for us while we were out of town. She was so communicative and truly went above and beyond to make sure our boys and house were well taken care of while we were gone! I cannot recommend her enough!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
