Information Taylor S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or notable behaviors! I have experience with reactive/fearful pets as well as those with disabilities.

A typical day

It is important for dogs to be stimulated, especially when their owners are away! I love creating enrichment for dogs, whether that means working on a frozen kong, training games, exercise/play, or going on a hike! I am a nature nerd and would LOVE for your dog to assist me on one of my hikes.

Caring and patient animal lover

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a current ecological field technician at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and aspiring K9 handler and trainer. I grew up with animals and have worked in both veterinary and rescue settings, becoming especially skilled at connecting with the more fearful or ‘difficult’ pets. I am now a mom to two mischievous boys cats and plan to bring a dog into the family soon. With how much I love my animals personally, I know how important it is for pet-owners to feel like their beloved family member is in great hands when away. If you are interested in petsitting, dog walking, or drop ins, please feel free to contact me for more information!

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.
