Pet care experience
Loving Family With Experience
I have 25 years experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, needs, and ages. We live in a single family home with a large fenced in yard. Animals will receive the same care that I would expect for mine and be treated as members of the family. We have a large, fenced in, backyard and plenty of in and outdoor fun for your pup. They will be well attended to, and receive love and care from not just myself, but all members of the family. They are permitted on the furniture, in bed with us and to be where we are at anytime. There are beds and blankets in every room for their comfort. I am home full time so there is nearly always someone here with the pups and they are cared for and loved by all members of the family. Dogs can be fed up to 4x/day. There are cats in the household (they usually confine themselves to their basement palace,) children ages 2-9 all whom are extremely good with animals. We are a happy, hopping home, but able to provide quiet time and space for dogs who are easily overwhelmed. Your dogs will be well entertained with cuddles, plenty of time outside, games, love and toys galore. Dogs are not generally taken on walks around the neighborhood, unless requested, but do receive plenty of indoor and outdoor playtime with us (fetch, frisbee, etc) for physical and mental stimulation. If we do plan on going for a nice walk or a hike, the pups will accompany us. Single overnight booking includes 24 hours of care (e.g. 1p Sat-1p Sun, or any combo of 24 hours) with a total of 3 hours of leeway given. If you will be expecting the stay to be more than 24 hours (27 with leeway) please note in your message or book as one overnight and one day care (e.g. 10am Sat-7p Sun.) Walks and more are available as add on services. Add on service rates and info is sent upon booking or by request prior to booking, as Rover, unfortunately, does not have a spot for us to offer these and book it with the stay. All pet parents receive text and photo updates, unless not desired. We take safety very seriously: -All dogs are fed separately -Water is always available indoors and out. -House is kept dog proof from dangerous items the dogs could chew or eat. -Someone is always outside with the guest dog. -Exposure and indoor climate are limited, or adjusted, based on the dog's tolerance. -I am well educated in pet first aid and am also a human nurse -I have many years of dog training experience, including my own service dog. -In the extremely unlikely event that a dog would escape, all guest pups wear a bright orange collar stating that they are a guest in an unfamiliar area and our phone number, along with their normal collar and tags. -For the escape artist, again, in the very unlikely event they would become separated from us, they wear a very efficient gps tag to allow for a very rapid recovery. Escape artists are also attached to a 100 foot long lead while in the yard just as a safety precaution (our yard is well fenced but a very crafty dog could possibly find a way out). Your dog is our priority and his love and care is our passion. Please ask if you have any other questions.

Ratings and reviews
Taylor and her family where great. Axle was exhausted when he got back home he sleep all evening. They are vary caring about our fur baby and help reinforce the same training we where doing with him. I would recommend her to anyone
taylor took terrific care of my very busy puppy -- and sent nice updates. he was exhausted from playing when i picked him up -- in a good way! taylor was also very responsive as i was coming in for business from out of town -- lovely family. great dog care.
Taylor took great care of my dogs. Very happy to be a repeat customer.


We have a 3 year old male Golden Retriever, Nova, and we had a 3 day trip out of town so we connected with Taylor to have her sit Nova at her home. Actually, it's Nova who gives the recommendation. You can tell how your dog was treated by the way they react and their mood when you return. Nova was well and happy upon our return so Taylor gets the 5-stars!
Took great care of my dogs. Excellent communication. Always happy to have her check in on my dogs.


Accommodated and watched my dog when I needed a sitter in a pinch. And I was avoidnjnf writing this but decided I should let others know... my dog wasn’t the same when he came home :( I did make clear my dog has anxiety. Well my dog. Came home and drank like he hadn’t drank all day, ate like hadn’t eaten allday (I sent plenty of food and snacks for my dog and hers) and my dog was literally sick for a week. I believe they put my dog outside on the rope for most of the day, and I made clear that he doesn’t go out for more than his bathroom needs especially since the temps were sub degree temps! We were met at the door, given our dog without his chain and not allowed past the porch upon our return! When we first got there we were invited inside and welcomed...my husband had to ask can I get his lead so I can prevent him from getting away he is twisting my fingers in his collar here. She sent her 2-year old for that and my dogs bag and blanket. Awful experience and since this time my poor pups anxiety is through the roof!! Now I have to go to a specialist for help...God only knows what else has happened this day to my poor dog :( be warned if your animal has anxiety I do not recommend this sitter-as the profile claims she is “good with them” it just isn’t true!! Perhaps good with other dogs? But def not ones with anxiety issues!!

Schedule
We work from home and someone is here 90% of the time. We can tailor our schedule to your specifications or as your pet needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced in yard (currently the main fencing is damaged and shorter fencing of 3.5 feet in height is filling in the gaps. We can put your dog on a long lead to be able to roam a bit or take outside on leash only if the short fencing will not be adequate to contain your dog.) Someone is always outside with your dog to ensure their safety. We have gates and cat doors to separate animals if the need should arise or during feeding time for your dog and ours.) Our black lab is extremely submissive and playful and will keep your dogs entertained as long as they want to play. She will leave them alone if they do not. Our youngest child, though very good with animals, is never left alone with the guest dog(s).
Pets
A typical day
Fetch, kiddie pool, sprinkler, seek and find, frisbee in back yard. Lots of toys in the house and outside for all sizes and chewers. Accompany us on outings if dogs are comfortable in the car and won't be required to wait in the car on very hot or cold days. Inside temperature set up for their comfort. Occasionally on hikes or to visits at family members homes. Tell me what your doggies like most and we'll incorporate it into your stay.
