Safety, trust & environment

Trust & safety are my top priorities. When entering your home, I always create a calm and trusting environment by introducing myself slowly and letting your pet set the pace. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure before taking your dog out and will never allow them off-leash unless in a fenced area. I’m careful to respect your home as well, cleaning up after playtime, wiping paws if needed, and following any instructions you leave for me.

Information Taylor K. would like to know about your pet

It's always helpful to know what commands they respond to, if you're working on any training, if they have any allergies, are taking any medication and need special tending, or if they have any relevant behavioral tendencies.

A typical day

If we’re going for a walk, I’ll encourage plenty of sniffing (because that’s how dogs explore) while still keeping us on track. I like to switch up routes to keep things interesting. For cats, I’ll make sure litter is clean, water is fresh, and there’s time for play and cuddles if they want it. Every pet is different, so I tailor my visits to their needs and personality.

Pet care experience

Since childhood, I’ve always shared my life with animals, from dogs, cats, even amphibians and birds. My most recent dog, Lilly, was adopted at age two and lived an adventurous 14 years by my side. She had some behavioral quirks at first, but with patience and consistency, we overcame them together. I was also by her side through major surgery and later when she developed HSA. I’ve also cared for my sweet cat who lived 16 long years, and most recently, adopted two kittens who I absolutely adore. With this lifelong experience, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and you can rest assured that I’ll care for them like my own.
