Safety, trust & environment

If I were to I visit your home to care for your pet or take them on walks, I would make sure to follow all instructions carefully, in order to keep a safe, comfortable environment and maintain your pet’s routine. I aim to stay attentive to your pet’s needs, keeping them secure during walks, offering attention and love to keep them happy, and communicating clearly with you throughout. Pets are our best friends, so I will treat your pet as such!

Information Taylor S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any unique needs or preferences. I'm eager to accommodate whatever you might need and see if we'd be a good match! As a high school teacher, I'm used to meeting the individual needs of my students, so I'm happy and willing to provide you with the best service possible.

A typical day

I love to take myself on a good walk outside, whether that's exploring the parks, gardens, and squares nearby me, or walking along the Delaware River. I could bring your pet outside with me, in your neighborhood, to enjoy the sun and soak in all the sights and sounds of the city around us. I also enjoy my cozy time at home, so if your pet is more on the relax & chill vibe, I can match their energy too! Whether it's an exciting walk outside, or a cuddle session on the couch, I'm happy to spend time with your pet!

Pet care experience

Currently, I'm a teacher who finds joy in getting to pet sit! Working with high school students is great, but I'm more excited to get to take care of your dog!! (Shh! Don't tell my students I said that...) Anyone who knows me, knows I'm the type to wave and say hi to every dog I pass on the street and every cat I see in a window! :-) I'm experienced with both cat and dog care, comfortable with various breeds, personalities, and ages. Throughout high school and college, I often volunteered to watch friends' and families' dogs/cats when they went away on vacation. Additionally, I've been pet sitting for neighbors ever since I started my teaching career a few years ago. I've always loved getting to step in and keep the pets cared for and entertained, while their owner was somewhere else. Overall, I can provide dependable and enthusiastic pet sitting, ensuring your beloved pets are happy and safe while you're away.

Taylor was wonderful, so conscientious with our older dog and his medications. We really appreciated how she sent us updates and photos. Our dog loved her!

Taylor was such a pleasure to work with. Our travel plans kept changing until the last minute, and Taylor was incredibly supportive and understanding through the whole process. She worked with us closely the whole time, responded to all my messages right away and even visited us more than once before the booking. She was also very punctual and responsible in taking care of our dog, who has a lot of specific dietary needs and quirky routines. She sent us detailed updates with lots of photos every day. Our dog adores her! We will definitely reach out to her the next time we need pet care.
