Taylor & Tails: Pet Care Services
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm an animal lover and I'd love to share my love with your pets! I've had 3 of my own dogs over the past 10 years and I have volunteered at animal shelters. Some of the skills I have developed are: - house training - establishing feeding routines - keeping the dogs entertained and exercised - moderating tempers and territorial disputes - mediating separation anxiety - caring for senior/elderly dogs - providing oral medication I have a very flexible schedule because I work from home, which means more time I can take care of your furry friends. I look forward to speaking with you soon! ------------- TRAVEL FEES Travel fees may be incurred depending upon location and on a case-by-case basis. I do not have a car (yet!) and rely on public transportation and/or Uber.
Reviews
Taylor did a great job staying in touch & informing us if something went awry (one of the dogs had stress stomach). Our 3 differently disabled dogs seemed content and the house was neat as a pin (which wasn't even our request, but I know how much they shed!). Would recommend to friends & neighbors!
This was my first time having an in-home pet sitter for my dog and two cats. Taylor stayed with my pets for two nights while I was on travel for work. She did a great job communicating with me to let me know she was there, and how it was going, and sent pics also, which was nice. She took care of my house too, bringing in mail and watering plants. Very unfortunately, it wasn't a good fit between Taylor and my elderly dog who is ridden with with arthritis. For some reason, my dog (who has no history of biting) bit Taylor on the last morning of care. I want to say, though, that Taylor followed our emergency plan calmly and behaved professionally on that day, and has continued to do so. While I will likely board my dog in the future with professionals, I will certainly have Taylor come back to take care of my cats and house while I'm on travel in the future. She is a very reliable and professional person...very responsible. I wish it had worked out between Taylor and my dog!!
Taylor was just a delight!! She was very professional and asked excellent questions to prepare for the visit, so I could really tell she was dedicated to making sure my pup had a good experience while I was away. She was communicative the entire time and was just a pleasure. Taylor, thank you so much!
Taylor is awesome with my Brody! She took her time meeting and spending time with him; and Brody was super excited to see her. She sent me an update during their walk and let me know how Brody was doing. I highly recommend Taylor for dog walking!

Information Taylor J. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know - the age and breed of the dog (read below for breeds not allowed) - where the dog food is kept and the dog's feeding routine - whether or not the dog is house trained - if the dog is taking any medications (medical history) - how he/she interacts with other people and animals - if there are any treat/rewards systems - any other special requests Breeds NOT accepted: - Chihuahua - Pitbull/mixes - Jack Russell/mixes
A typical day
I like to give dogs very active walks, especially the young, energetic ones because I am very active myself. I like to walk through hiking trails and dog parks (if available), where we can play games like Frisbee and practice obstacle courses. In between or after the walks, I make sure they are fed and have plenty of water. I also keep pets entertained with games, such as "tug of war" or "finders, keepers". Throughout the day, I ensure to give them a whole lot of cuddling and care, letting them know they are safe and loved.
