Hello! Thanks for visiting our page! My name is Taylor and I have been taking care of animals since my parents let me get my first dog, Sadie, at six years old. Years later, I turned my passion for animals into a career for almost ten years! I was a veterinary technician for multiple clinics in the Mid-South and loved serving the pets and owners of this community. In this role, I did everything from basic tasks like educating pet owners about their pet’s conditions to walking, caring or bathing the animals to more complex tasks like assisting with surgeries and aftercare to making sure every animal is taking care of. I have extensive knowledge of important warning signs of animal distress as well as experience administering emergency procedures like CPR. I am also comfortable with daily maintenance tasks like administering oral or subcutaneous medications. My spouse, Kiersten, is a natural caretaker and grew up with the two fluffiest keeshonds in the world! During the pandemic Kiersten rescued an abandoned 6mo old black kitten and they’ve been inseparable ever since! As a professor, Kiersten works from home and is easily reachable if you would like photo or video updates! We require that ALL boarding and house sitting clients provide proof of veterinarian prescribed flea and tick medication as well as are up to date on all vaccinations and heartworm medications. This is because my spouse and I currently love and care for three pets of our own as well as provide for clients in and out of our home, full time! We adopted a cuddly cat, Sweet Pea, from Memphis Pets Alive. Apollo, a gentle lab mix, has been with me since he was a puppy because I also adopted his mom, Koda, who has unfortunately passed naturally. And Dolly Parton, an energetic pittie mix who loves all dogs, found us running down the middle of Kirby Parkway. We do not currently have any foster animals but I have rescued dozens of animals including different ages from an entire litter of puppies to senior dogs as well as animals with medical needs. I have been trusted by friends, community members, and veterinarians to take care of dogs and cats in their own homes too! I took a break from being a veterinary technician to help support my spouse at the end of a difficult and expensive PhD program; but, I miss working with animals deeply so Rover is a great fit for everyone! We look forward to taking amazing care of your fur babies and surpassing your expectations of safe and attentive pet care in the mid-south! We prioritize the health and well-being of your pet. All of our pets are spayed/neutered, on veterinarian prescribed flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and are up to date on vaccines. Please have documentation of your most recent prescription flea/tick/heartworm prevention dose and latest vaccination records.
