Strays love me, so will your pets!
Pet care experience
Throughout my life, I’ve lived with an array of pets - from tiny gerbils and hefty cats to ginormous Great Danes. I have extensive experience in caring for multiple pets at once, it feels like second nature and no different than my own home! It has simultaneously taught me the value of a routine for pets as they thrive on it, and so do I. My goal is for you to feel confident in your decision to trust me with the wellbeing of your pet and that they feel comfortable with me too. Experience with so many pets over my lifetime has well-acquainted me to the spectrum of personalities and needs. From affectionate cuddlers to high-energy bundles of enthusiasm, I love them all, no matter the size! I tailor my services to match each pets preferences. I strongly believe in meeting dogs' needs for enrichment during walks, recognizing it is primarily for their enjoyment. I’m constantly scanning our surroundings to make sure the walk is as safe and pleasant as can be for us both. Having raised a puppy myself, I’m familiar with the challenges and joys of training a pup. That puppy is my current Basset Hound mix, so you know I can handle the stubborn ones! I have lived and learned the most successful ways to give medications. I’ve provided liquids orally to guinea pigs, eye drops to cats, pills and topicals to dogs. I’m very observant of animal behaviors/body language and I ensure the pet is tolerant of the experience with as much time as the need.
Reviews
Taylor was an amazing sitter for our golden retriever. She went above and beyond for our boy and took really great care of our house. Great communication and attentive to detail when it comes to care. She is trustworthy, reliable, and always on time. Enthusiastically recommend!
Great communication, sends pics of walking at at home, and good with my dog. Will continue to use.
Taylor is a great resource for me to get out of town. It’s great to know my pup is in good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!
Taylor is amazing! She has watched our 2 dogs in our home twice now when we are out of town. The dogs are well taken care of and the house is immaculate when we come home. She quickly figured out what the dogs like to do and is always accommodating to their needs. Love the pictures she sends! I plan to use her again!!

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize your pet's routines in your home, making them feel comfortable and at ease while you're away. Whether it's a specially-prepared meal, extra playtime, or keeping up with training, I’ll do it! Before leaving, I meticulously check the house: ensuring all doors are locked, cages are shut, everything is as it should be. I’m a very thorough person and will check everything at least twice! Your trust is essential, and I strive to maintain a safe and reliable environment for your furry family members at all times. I treat your space and pets as I would my own. As an older “gen z”, my phone is always nearby so I’m quick to respond, and you WILL get plenty of update photos!
Information Taylor R. would like to know about your pet
Understanding your pets' quirks helps me tailor their care. Do they respond to specific commands? Are they particular about eating habits or leash behavior? Any dislikes for petting areas? How do they prefer their medication to be given? Share their unique traits; it helps me provide the best care! I’d also like to know their general schedule of feedings and potty breaks to see if it’s something I can accommodate.
A typical day
I love to take walks in nature parks or sidewalks of a neighborhood. Hanging out in a fenced in yard, with the sun and a good hammock while the dogs sun bathe is the best! I love to get dogs excited by running around or playing with toys. Indoors, I love a good dog pile on the couch. I like to reinforce training as well with treats for commands that need some extra practice.

Availability
I currently work full time in a school. On weekdays, I can provide drop ins and walks about 3pm or later. I’m available to house sit from Friday evening till Sunday night, please check my calendar for availability! I keep it as updated as possible. I’m typically available for meet and greets on weekday evenings (3pm or later). I’d love to meet your dog before bookings! During the summer, I have a new job located in Newport, working a roughly 8 hour shift M-F. I prefer weekend house sitting, but I’m absolutely willing to house sit during the week as long as your pets are comfortable being alone from the time I leave for work to the time I get back. The closer to Newport, the shorter times I would be gone. In the past as needed, clients have scheduled a dog walk during that time. I try to be as flexible as I can be, feel free to reach out with any questions!
