Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality to ensure they feel secure and happy in my care. In your home, I treat your space with respect and follow your care instructions closely — from feeding and medication schedules to walking routes and playtime routines. I make sure doors and gates are secured, keep an eye out for potential hazards, and always double-check that your pet’s environment is safe before leaving. I believe trust is built through communication and reliability, so I keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout each stay or visit. You can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands! 🐾

Information Taylor H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of! Most of these situations are manageable with the right tools and instructions ahead of time.

A typical day

I love stimulating dogs with mental enrichment or physical exercise! Everything from lick mats, training commands, to gathering all the smells in the neighborhood, your pup will be able to get out that energy they so desperately need.

Experienced & Reliable Caregiver!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a young girl, and ever since, there’s always been a pup by my side 🐕 I grew up with Rottweilers, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, but I adore dogs of all sizes and personalities! I volunteer in the animal rescue world and often take on the more behavioral cases that require more attention and training. Through that, I have learned a great deal about training dogs and practice that knowledge with all my furry clients 🦴 My home is currently pet-free (aside from the occasional foster), which means your dog will get my full attention and plenty of love. Whether you need gentle senior care, energetic puppy playtime, or reliable daily walks, I’m here to make sure your furry family member feels happy, safe, and cared for. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, affection, and respect for their unique needs. 🐾 Reach out today — I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐾

Taylor is a lifesaver taking on my last minute booking, and provided excellent care of my family’s two cats. She was wonderful!

Taylor has been excellent with my two dogs. Each dog is particular in their own way and requires a different approach. Taylor has been able to meet their individual needs to build trust. It has been a great comfort having someone that understands animals well provide afternoon walks these past few weeks. I highly recommend Taylor.
