Pet care experience

Caring & experienced pet sitter!

I have always loved caring for pets. When I was 13 I started a dog walking business in my neighborhood and then at 16, my very first job was working at an animal shelter. Since then I have worked in boarding kennels, doggy daycares, an exotic vet hospital, and been a Rover pet sitter for over 3 years. I also have a BS in Zoology. Due to my extensive experience working with animals, I am comfortable with any size or breed of dog or cat. I have experience caring for senior pets including my own cat that passed away at 18 years old. I am comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications when needed. I have an 13-year-old small dog who is my best friend/ soulmate and I will make sure to care for your pet the same as my own!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible as I know it can be stressful leaving your pet in someone else's care. I am respectful, trustworthy, and a clean house guest. I will make sure your pet gets the best care and stimulation through playtime, walks, hikes, and cuddles. *Please note: If you are interested in a house sit, please be aware that I have a very well-socialized Pomeranian that I bring with me on booked house sits. If you or your animals are not comfortable with that, I might not be the best fit for your family. Thanks :)

Taylor was so accommodating with short notice and very attentive to our little guy. He was quickly drawn to her and we got great pictures with every visit while we were away. Highly recommend!
