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 :)

Information Taylor K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of, such as food aggression, reactivity, or is a runner. I want to provide your dog with the safest and most pleasant experience possible.

A typical day

I think both mental and physical stimulation is important for your pet. I love to provide activity boards or practice commands. Activities, where they can use all of their senses, are great. I also love to provide walks and depending on your dog's comfort level that can be along a quiet trail or in a community park.

Caring & experienced pet sitter!

Pet care experience

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!

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!

Taylor is so good with my boy Murphy. She is very professional, dependable and an all around super dog sitter/walker.

Taylor was wonderful! She went above and beyond with caring for my cats! I was anxious about leaving them but she made me feel so much better. Will definitely be booking again when needed!

Taylor took great care of our dog Murphy and our home while we were out of town for our son's wedding. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing Murphy was being well taken care of. Taylor even washed the sheets and towels she used during her stay and vacuumed too! I highly recommend her!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
