Pet care experience

Affordable, Friendly, Reliable!

My life has been defined by a deep connection to animals, from growing up in a multi-pet household of dogs and cats to exploring the intricate world of aquarium keeping. This lifelong passion eventually evolved into a professional focus; I am currently a graduate student in Psychology and am personally training my own service dog, Disco. My experience goes beyond basic pet sitting; I understand canine behavior, the importance of positive reinforcement, and the necessity of a calm, structured environment. Whether I’m managing a high-energy dog, a senior pet with a strict medication schedule, or even a delicate aquatic setup, I bring a researcher's attention to detail and a lifelong lover's heart to every home. I’ve spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, and I look forward to providing that same expert, reliable care for your companions.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, supervised environment where your pet’s safety is the top priority. I am accompanied by my service dog, Disco, who is expertly trained to be neutral and respectful of other animals' space. This often provides a wonderful, stabilizing social environment for the pets I watch. I am meticulous about feeding and exercise schedules, and I am particularly mindful of safety—for example, avoiding noon-day heat to protect paws and prevent overheating. Whether we are in my home or yours, I maintain a 'safety-first' mentality, ensuring all environments are secure and all interactions are positive.

Had a family emergency and had make a quick trip and was so glad Taylor had the availability to come with a less than 24 hr notice. They did everything I asked for and more like water my plants and cleaned any messes Asher made.

Taylor did a great job taking care of our dog Miso! It’s a huge relief knowing we can call him when we need to go out of town.

Taylor is amazing with all pets! He is such a kind, caring person that I trust completely with my pets. I have two dogs that he’s looked after and I know I can count on him to take great care of them. He also takes care of my fish when I’m gone. He’s very knowledgeable about pets and it gives me peace of mind knowing they are in great hands when I’m gone.

Schedule

Pet care is the foundation of my daily life. As a service dog handler, I live and breathe animal behavior and routine. My day is built around structured walks, training reinforcement, and clear communication. While I balance my graduate studies and work, my school breaks are dedicated to providing high-quality, attentive care for your pets. Because I am used to the responsibility of a working dog, I bring that same level of discipline and reliability to your pet’s schedule, ensuring they feel secure and cared for in a low-stress, organized environment.

To provide the best possible care, I love to get a full picture of your pet’s personality and 'quirks' beforehand. Specifically, I’d like to know about their comfort level with other dogs; since I work with a highly-trained service dog, I want to ensure the environment is a positive experience for everyone involved. Please let me know if they have any specific triggers (like squirrels, bikes, or loud noises), their typical bathroom schedule, and any dietary or medication requirements. Understanding their 'house rules', like whether they are allowed on furniture or have specific crate routines, this helps me maintain the consistency they need to feel at home.
