Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog trainer and animal lover
I have grown up with pets in my household since I was a child. I used to house/pet-sit for my neighbors’ animals from cats and dogs to horses and llamas. While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I filled my days training service dogs for an accredited organization for over 4 years (which was 24/7 volunteering). These days I still do obedience training in clients’ homes. I love dogs and think they are the greatest animals on the planet. I can pet sit, walk, and even obedience train your dog for you. I have experience with all different sizes, ages, and breeds. I am very confident in handling dogs and have dealt with many behavioral issues. Give me specific instructions and I will follow them to a tee.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and we have a chain link dog run that is shaded to prevent paws from burning on the hot ground during summer months. My neighborhood has a nearby dog park that I could take your pup to for exercise. I personally crate my dogs when I am not home, but am open to not having a dog crated if they are not crate trained and are not destructive.
Ratings and reviews
Taylor was absolutely wonderful with Peaches and Coco! She was reliable, caring, and took the time to make both dogs feel comfortable. Coco can be a very reactive dog, so I was especially impressed by how incredibly well she behaved with Taylor. She was not reactive toward her at all, which says a lot about the calm, patient, and confident way she interacted with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Peaches is still a puppy and comes with all the energy and needs that puppies do, and Taylor did a fantastic job with her as well. Both dogs were happy and well cared for after her drop-in visit. I would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and great with dogs. We will definitely be booking her again!
We love Taylor! Always takes great care of our pups and our home!
Taylor is always great with our pups and an excellent houseguest. When one of our dogs got sick on a comforter, she went the extra mile and made sure everything was cleaned and washed before we got home.
I can't thank Taylor enough for everything she did while we were gone! I have had a bad experience with leaving my dogs in the past so I was nervous to leave them this time, but I don't have to worry anymore! Both of my girls looked so happy and healthy when we got back, she followed all instructions and sent daily pictures! I want to cry thinking about how amazing she did with my babies, I couldn't recommend her enough!
Taylor was great. Our dogs loved her from the first. She sent daily photos and was very responsive to all texts or questions.
Taylor has been so great with our furbabies. One is very needy and wants all the attention, while the other is so stubborn for days. She’s understanding and patient, and she takes great care of our home too. Highly recommend her for your trips - she keeps in touch and a great communicator. We’re thankful for you Taylor!

Schedule
I do work full-time as a physical therapist, but I work a mile away from my house. My fiancé usually works from home so he can be there to let your pup out for a potty break if it is on a weekday.
