6+ year experience dog care
Pet care experience
Hello my name is Taylor. I worked at a doggie daycare for 5 years, a dog salon for 1 year (left due to having a newborn), and have been dog sitting and walking for more than 6 years. While working at the doggie daycare I would handle a group of up to 65 large dogs or 85+ small dogs on my own. As well as walking and playing with boarding only / aggressive or selective dogs. I also have experience administering medications and insulin to dogs. I have handled anywhere from senior dogs to puppies, dogs who have seizures to dogs who are special needs, I have had experience with it all! I have always had dogs since the day I was born. I grew up having four dogs a Great Dane, Mini schnauzer, Australian Shepard, and a Dalmatian Sharpei mix. I now currently have two dogs of my own both Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff) Pitbull mixes. Ages 6 years old and 5 years old. I have had both since they were 6 weeks old. I have experience with all ages, shapes, sizes, breeds, and weights. I look forward to caring for your dog in the future! Please also note I am a stay at home mother so my child with often be with me.
Reviews
Taylor is amazing with our dogs. We have 3 large dogs (dane, mastiff and pitty) and she totally comfortable with. I have no doubt that she is just as good small pups. She is reliable willing to accommodate to our schedule and needs.
My dogs *are* my family. What I appreciate most about Taylor is not just her obvious love for animals (my dogs love her!) but her professional approach. Pet sitting is not Taylor’s side job – it’s what she loves and it’s what she does for her livelihood. She is extremely good at it: so good, in fact, that on my latest five-day trip, the dogs didn’t even give me a guilt trip when I got home! I have recommended Taylor to my friends and will continue to do so! ~Chris
I worked with Taylor at a five star doggie daycare for over a year, she was one of the best employees at the establishment and it was so amazing to watch how good she was with all of the dogs there and how she treated every dog as if they were her own. Taylor is a trustworthy person who owns two dogs of her own and one kitten. Her animals are well cared for and treated with the best love that anyone could ever give their pets or in Taylor’s case, her children. I would not trust my dogs with anyone other than Taylor because she is amazing with dogs and knows what they need and how to treat them.
