Information Taylor D. would like to know about your pet

Any schedule necessities they may have, their leash walking habits (mine is reactive on leash so I have experience dealing with reactive dogs), any of their favorite activities or toys. Do they like to be consistently active or just prefer cuddles on the couch? I want to make this their vacation while you are on vacation so I want to be as accommodating as possible!

A typical day

I live very close to the lake so I usually take my dog walking lakeside either playing in the grass or just taking a simple walk. There is also a small dog beach 15 minute walk from my place that we frequent so if your dog enjoys playing in the water that is an option too!

Pet care experience

I have had my own dog for 12.5 years and have also volunteered at animal shelters helping with anything from training to helping after surgeries. I have always loved animals and knew I couldn’t live life without them. I have a senior 12 year old dog (miniature dachshund) that I have cared for, I get told daily that she still acts like a youngin’ so I’d like to think I had something to do with that! ☺️

Taylor does an amazing job. Every time I leave Shusha with her, I feel completely at ease. Thank you so much, Taylor - I’ll definitely be back.

Taylor was amazing. She sent photos and was very responsive. I had great peace of mind while traveling, knowing Shusha was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Taylor!

Taylor is a great sitter providing daily updates, pictures and responding quickly to chats. She was very attentive and patient with my shy Dachshund. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely book with her again. Thank you Taylor!
