Mack Pack Dogs
Pet care experience
I currently have a pack that includes one human toddler, a cat, and four dogs. I truly get joy from being around animals and as a pet parent myself, I love giving other owners the comfort and peace of mind that comes with knowing someone is not only caring for their animals’ needs, but loving them at the same time. I pride myself on being able to keep animals in a comfortable and thriving in an environment they can enjoy, while also giving the owner peace of mind. It’s important to me to take your animal’s mental and emotional health into consideration so that you can feel confident knowing your pet has what they need during a stressful time apart. I understand that even the picture perfect pet can become fussy with an owner’s absence, I have all the patience, understanding, and time to give them. I have cared for dogs small to extra large, puppies to senior dogs, healthy dogs to sick dogs. I have experienced with jack russels, labs, hounds, bully breads, german Shepherds, Australian shepherds, Rhodesian ridgebacks, blue healers, and mutts of all kinds. Along with my experiences with dogs I also have experience with cats, horses, farm animals, and reptiles. We have a separate furnished area for dogs that may need some space from small humans and other animals. We have nearly an acre of fenced land with more than acre of love and attention to give, along with our house that is clean and very pet friendly. I am accustomed to all the unpleasant surprises animals can throw at you. If puke, pee, or poop happens you won’t have to worry about me turning my nose up. With experience caring for for puppies, older dogs in diapers, sick dogs, or dogs with separation anxiety, I know how to clean it up properly to not leave a stain or a smell all the while giving your dog excellent care and affection. I can also be a pet taxi, provide running or hiking sessions, and I have base access.

My son received military orders to Korea. I was unable to care for his pit bull, Yogi, the entire time he was gone. Yogi is a very loving dog and I dreaded having to take him to the pound. Taylor stepped up and provided a loving, caring environment for Yogi. Bottom line...happy pit bull. Thanks Taylor!
Taylor has always been great with animals. Especially, dogs. I've noticed that the dogs sense that she truly loves caring for and seems to understand them. I have seen her interact with not only her pets but mine and others as well. As a matter of fact, she has been caring for a deployed friends dog for over two years now and it is going to be a bittersweet moment when he returns to the U.S. and takes the dog home. Taylor has cared for my dogs in the past and I trust her completely!

A typical day
I can walk your dogs in my neighborhood or yours, given where they are. I also have a reliable, large, and animal friendly SUV so they can be taken on walks at parks or for a romp at the dog park. I love a good game of fetch and after years of softball and baseball, I have yet to meet a dog that could make my arm go tired. I don’t shy away from getting on the floor and playing with the animals. I also have experience mentally exercising dogs with many fun games
