Taylor can care for
Availability
I recently moved to the area and don’t start my full-time job until January, which means I currently have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and extra snuggles. If you need someone dependable with an open schedule, I’m here to help!

About Taylor D.

Safety, trust & environment
For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. During each visit, I make sure they’re fed (if needed), have fresh water, get potty breaks, and enjoy plenty of playtime, affection, and attention. I’m patient with shy pets and happy to match the energy of the more playful ones.

Pet care experience
I’ve been around animals my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I grew up with a Jack Russell Terrier and have spent years caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’m also a proud cat mom to two sweet fur babies, Cleo and Charley, who keep my days full of cuddles and entertainment.
