I currently work full time at a local dog/cat boarding & daycare facility Sunday/Monday 7am-3pm & Tuesday-Thursday 12pm-7pm with Friday/Saturday off. When I am not at work you can find me spending time with my cats and educating myself on all things animals! Whether it be feeding, training, behaviour modification or health/medicine related I’m reading it! I always strive to take care of animals when I’m not at work and love to spend any minute with them possible!

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet in my care is always treated with love and respect! I understand that not all animals want to be touched or pet all the time and respect any pets/animals space when needed. I also always pay attention to movements while playing to ensure no injuries are made. Everything I do with pets are positive to ensure a happy outlook on things moving forward in life!

Information Taylor R. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any reactivity (ie. barking, lunging, snapping, growling) towards humans or other dogs? Do they require any medication or supplements? Are they special needs or disabled? (Deaf/blind, incontinent, cerebellar hyperplasia etc) Are they protective or resource guard anything? (Food, toys, certain spaces) Do they have any allergies or sensitivities?

A typical day

I love to stimulate animals minds both physically and mentally! Physical ways: walks, outdoor playtime (fetch, tug, running around etc), taking them to a new area, agility Mental ways: scatter feeding, scent games, tricks/training, interactive toys, chew toys/bones, food puzzles

Your pets new favourite hello!

Pet care experience

*Currently not accepting new clients at this time as my schedule is quite busy, thank you for the consideration!* Ever since I was a young girl animals have always been a passion of mine! I began at Age 10 with dog day-sitting and began to extend my experience into overnight pet sitting, stray animal rescue, trap and neuter, volunteering with local rescues and now work full time with animals. I have previous experience with a range of animals from dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, bearded dragons, hamsters, ferrets and even some wild animals! I have worked with many types of dog breeds ranging from 5lbs-175lbs and have acquired no issues in handling thus far. I also have background with puppies, disabled dogs (deaf/blind, incontinent, difficulty walking etc.) senior dogs, Pet CPR and First Aid (reacquiring certification) as well as pet behaviour (ie. people reactivity, dog reactivity, resource guarding etc.) and have never had issues with any pets in care. I take pride in the care I offer with the knowledge and understanding each dogs personality traits and behaviour characteristics along with breed standard needs.

Taylor did an amazing job with the dogs and kept to the house clean and tidy. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable being away and we were very pleasantly surprised when we got home. We would definitely book Taylor again!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
