Information Taylor R. would like to know about your pet

How are they with children and cats? Allergies would be good to know Do they pull on leash? How do the call back and receive commands with others who aren’t mom/dad? cat friendly? How do they react to other dogs while out on a walk?

A typical day

I Feed my dogs at 7a &7p and in between i will take them on a walk around my neighborhood which tends to be around 30-45 minutes. i have a golden one year old and ge will normally go to the dog park across the way to get rid of his extra energy as he’s VERY friendly!

We loved having Taylor watch Betty White while we were on vacation! She was really good at sending pictures and updates of our girl. It was also fun to hear that her toddler son and Betty White became best friends while she stayed there. 😀

Taylor and her family were so sweet and helpful. I loved receiving pictures of Nova and hearing how she was with their son. It truly warmed my heart!

Nasir looks like he had a wonderful time this weekend! The sitter was very kind, attentive, and sent lots of adorable photos, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care and will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!”
