Pet care experience

Reliable, Caring, and Commited!

I've been a dog lover my entire life and have owned three dogs of my own over the years. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've helped look after many dogs in my neighbourhood and always enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. In fact, I'm probably guilty of knowing most of my neighbours by their dogs' names first! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, care, and affection while you're away.

I have known Taylor for nearly 4 years now and can assure you that there is no kinder dog sitter / walker than him. My dog Motek has often stayed with him and his lovely family. My dog absolutely adores him!! Taylor has a gift of communicating gently with any animal. I can highly recommend him because your pet is totally safe with him at all times and in any circumstance! Sincerely, Ingeborg V.

I can recommend Taylor McFadden with the utmost support. He has looked after our family dogs on numerous occasions over several years. Taylor has always demonstrated himself to be so dependable, trustworthy and punctual. He really has a gentle yet confident way with our dogs. Our dogs were always looked after and they returned happy and exercised. He is an extremely kind person with a definite affinity for our beloved canines.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the week. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I can easily incorporate pet care into my day and ensure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner so I can provide consistent care. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, I ensure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe environment. I also believe in regular communication and am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well looked after while they're away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day starts with making sure your dog is comfortable and settled in, followed by a walk to stretch their legs and explore the neighbourhood. I love keeping dogs both physically and mentally stimulated, so we'll play games, practice basic commands if they're interested, and check out plenty of new sights and smells along the way. Depending on your dog's energy level, we'll also visit a large park near my home for extra exercise and exploration. Throughout the day, there will be lots of attention, playtime, fresh water, rest breaks, and of course plenty of affection and belly rubs.

Before caring for any pet, I make sure to learn all important details about their routine, personality, and needs. This includes feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medication instructions, walking habits, and any behavioural quirks or triggers. I also like to know how they interact with other dogs, what comforts them if they get anxious, and any safety considerations to be aware of. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home while in my care.
