Every day is a doggy holiday!
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs passionately, professionally & full-time for over 3 years. Currently I am only able to provide walking, drop-ins and house-sitting. However, I used to also provide day-care and boarding, so I have a huge amount of experience caring for all sorts of dogs, in all sorts of situations. From the age of about five I grew up with at least 4 dogs in the house, until I moved to the UK (from Louisiana) several years ago. My partner Sam and I have recently moved to Sheffield from Bath, where we previously ran our business. In Bath we built up really great relationships with the dogs we looked after, some of them came to us regularly for more than two years! Since moving to Sheffield, Sam has taken on a full-time job outside of dog care and has therefore taken a step back from the business. Occasionally at weekends or during time-off Sam will still join me for walks etc, the dogs love having an extra friend to play with. It’s actually hard to tell who enjoys it more – Sam or the dogs! I am continuing to provide high quality care full-time and as passionately as ever. Now living in Upperthorpe, I am happy to travel locally. If your dog has any quirks or special requirements, I’m more than happy to speak further with you to make sure they’re being looked after exactly the way they need to be. I have a lot of experience with nervous dogs and understand the patience they need. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and special requirements, so any concerns you might have, please feel free to just get in touch. I always like to arrange a meet and greet with dog/s and owners before I look after them, so that I can get to know your dog / make sure they’re going to be comfortable being looked after by me. :) My prices can be flexible - just get in touch and we can discuss. I don’t do this job for the money, I do it because I love providing the best quality care to dogs, so I’m always happy to negotiate! Dog care is my full-time job and main commitment. I am happy to be flexible on times and days. If you let me know what care you need and when, I'll be happy to work with you to find a solution that suits you and your dog. I always walk dogs in secure and safe environments, I will never put a dog into a situation that they are not comfortable with. On walks I can prove a long-line for additional security and I always carry high value treats to aid recall.
Reviews
Taylor I. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Taylor was amazing. Felt so comfortable leaving our dog with them. Couldn't recommend more highly!
Taylor was so helpful and stepped in at the last minute to look after our dog Pippa. We received regular updates and great communication which was really reassuring whilst we were away. Thank you! Would recommend and will book again!
10/10 review from our Monty who was very happy and tired after his walk with Taylor. Thank you will book again!

When looking after your dog in your home, I always make sure to treat them both with respect. Your dog will always be supervised and your home with be left in the same condition it was when I arrived, if not better!
Home
Information Taylor I. would like to know about your pet
At the meet and greet it’s important for me to find out everything I need to know in order to keep your dog safe and happy while they’re under my care. I will ask about almost everything, from allergies and reactivity down to their favourite toy and usual walk routine.
A typical day
I will always tailor my care dependant on what your dog likes to do! Is your dog the type to enjoy playing fetch with a ball? Chasing other dogs at the park? A long walk somewhere quiet? If your dog is happy off-lead I make sure to take the time to build up trust and rapport with them before having them off-lead. Each dog’s wellbeing and happiness is always my top priority.
