Pet care experience

Life-long animal lover from Hawaii!

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I am an animal lover through and through! I believe that a dog, cat, parakeet, guinea pig, you name it, is more than just a pet. They are part of the family. They have their unique personalities like all of us humans! I strive to give your furry friend that same Ohana treatment! I grew up my entire life with dogs (all of them being rescues). I even volunteered at the Humane Society during my teen years as well. I am also my brother's go-to cat sitter (I love cats, just not as much as I love dogs!) With my experience growing up volunteering at the shelter, and having fur babies of my own, I have been exposed to all breeds big and small :) A little bit about me: When I first moved to Boston from Hawaii, where I was born and raised, it took a lot to make New England feel like home, especially with no dogs around. I recently graduated from Northeastern University (even my university mascot was a Husky haha!) and moving to NYC has been a hard adjustment. I think dog sitting and walking will help me make this place feel more like home. I also love going on long walks so this will be perfect!

Taylor was great! She followed all of the instructions and made sure Turkey was well cared for. Turkey was very happy when we picked her up. Would definitely recommend and have her watch Turkey in the future.

Taylor is the best! She is responsive, friendly, and loved my fur baby. She took lots of pics and made me feel so comfortable about being away. I would definitely book her again!

Taylor was so great with Dash! She made sure he was comfortable at their home and kept me updated with his current status (either through messages and/or videos). She was very communicative and went above and beyond! Highly recommend for your future pup needs!

Taylor was very communicative and sent pictures upon each visit. My cat is normally not friendly but went right up to Taylor and seemed to feel comfortable immediately. Highly recommend her as a sitter.

I have grown up with Taylor and have known her for many years. She has always been an animal-lover and has had many pets throughout her life, including dogs (primarily), parakeets, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish. I have known her to be incredibly attentive, responsible, and affectionate toward all of her pets. More recently, my wife and I entrusted her to take care of our two cats in our NYC apartment on while we were out of town, and Taylor did a fantastic job. She fed them, gave them their medicine, emptied their litter boxes, and tidied up around their living space exactly as we asked her to, and even stuck around each day to give them some love and attention. My cats now love her, maybe more than they love me. In summary, Taylor is a trustworthy, diligent, and loving pet caregiver with whom I would trust my pets any day.

Schedule

I work two days in the office and three days at home every week, but those days I work in the office are flexible. Typically i am in office on Wednesday, and my second day is flexible. The days that I work from home are usually very relaxed so I can take walks throughout the day. I am also an early riser on weekends and weekdays, so morning walks would not be a problem! My weekends are also very chill, and I would love to go on a long walk or hang out with some pups then!

Safety, trust & environment

I will love your dog like they are my own (I want a dog so bad!). I will always give them that Ohana treatment. I know how stressful and anxiety-inducing it is to leave your babies behind with someone else, but I will be sure to keep them safe and send LOTS of cute photos of them to you! When I walk my dogs back home, I am sure to keep a careful eye on them as dogs do what dogs like to do. I'll also give them all the cuddles and make them feel at home with me!

A typical day

I am very active and love to play with dogs and cats! I will make sure to give them all the attention and more. I love long walks and would enjoy exploring the parks around here with some company :)
