Experienced and loving caregiver!

Pet care experience

I'm a full-time pet care provider able to give your beloved pup top tier care due to my extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and ages! I'm CPR certified, California Trustline Registered, and background checked with California Department of Social Services (due to my previous career in working with children in the foster care system.) I have experience with puppies, seniors, as well as special needs and disabled animals. My sister is deaf and growing up seeing the important role that service animals provide to humans gave me a unique perspective on the precious bond that we share with our canine best friends. I would be honored to have the opportunity to earn your trust and provide gentle, loving care in a safe environment for your loved ones. Whether you have an active dog who loves to hike and play or a docile dog who prefers to relax in the sunshine, I am able to accommodate a variety of needs! Thank you for the opportunity to connect!

Taylor was incredible. She was super kind and knowledgeable and just so warm. She took wonderful care of our boy and had lots of pictures and a detailed account of the day. We will definitely call her again 🐶

Taylor took exceptional care of our little guy and care of our home. We were so fortunate to leave Rudy with someone as wonderful, kind, attentive and caring as Taylor. Thank you, Taylor! We appreciate you to the moon and back!

We have been using Taylor for a while now and she never disappoints — every single time, she shows up with the same warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine love for our boy Rufus. Her communication is consistently excellent — prompt, reassuring, and thoughtful. That kind of reliability is everything when you’re trusting someone with your dog on a regular basis. And it’s not just logistics she handles beautifully — she truly cares about Rufus’s emotional wellbeing and his safety, which keeps us coming back again and again. If your dog is a member of your family — Taylor is your person. We refer her to everyone we know who loves their dog the way we do. Five stars, every time!
