The Best of the Best

Pet care experience

I was a Guide Dog for the Blind Puppy Raiser in Contra Costa County for 10 years. I raised 6 puppies, taking each pup from 7 weeks old into my own home for 18 months. I have extensive knowledge and background in positive reinforcement training, as well as proper knowledge in utilizing certain tools such as collars, harnesses, gentle leaders, halters, and more. I love helping my community and this experience has partially made me the woman who I am today. Furthermore, I have worked for the Oakland Zoo in Animal Care on two different animal strings - giraffe and primates. I also worked in conservation and in the animal vet hospital on site! Finally, I am going into my final year of undergraduate school at Pacific University Oregon. I am studying biology with a double minor in Spanish and chemistry, in hopes of becoming a veterinarian. I am currently applying to vet school right now and I would love the opportunity to take care of your fur babies! I have done lots of dog walking and sittings for friends, family, neighbors, and unfamiliar faces. You and your animals will be happy you contacted me :)

Taylor is an outstanding young woman who displays respect, kindness, and care to all animal she comes into close contact with - exotic or domestic. You definitely won't be disappointed in using her to care for your animals. She goes the extra mile to make sure your fur child gets the best care needed. Not only that, she covers great distances in all of her dog walking appointments. Furthermore, she is extremely respectful and responsible when dog sitting a persons home. I have been using Taylor to dog sit for me for the past 3 years now. No matter how big or small the dog, she is always up for the challenge!

Taylor LOVES animals! She has been involved with animals since a young age and is working toward her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. As a puppy raiser for 10 years for Guide Dogs for the Blind and an animal caretaker for the Oakland Zoo, she is well versed in the many different techniques and requirements needed to care for a wide variety of animals. Taylor is honest, responsible, organized and very dedicated to the well being of all animals. Whether it is walks, grooming, overnights, house sitting - animals are ALWAYS happy to see her! She takes her job seriously and always goes above and beyond. Pets always seem happier at the end of the day, and I never had to worry about their well-being or safety. I highly recommend Taylor....you will be glad you have her!

I have known Taylor since she was born so naturally when I needed someone to not only house sit but take care of my dog and 11 hens, while on vacation, I asked Taylor if she was available. Taylor is an animal lover and very compassionate so I knew that I could trust her not only to take care of my fur and feather babies, but house sit for me as well. She went above and beyond. I loved that she always checked in with me and sent me photos. She is honest, trustworthy, reliable, responsible, hardworking and most importantly she loves animals. She will treat your dog as if it was her own. I highly recommend her!

Why Taylor S is a very valuable asset? Taylor has been around animals ever since she was young. She started out working and training dogs for the disabled in life. Her expertise to train these dogs at a young age and have them become someone’s life companion, is a tremendous accomplishment. She then took her talents to the Oakland Zoo on an internship, and worked with some of the most amazing exotic and unique animals on the planet. Taylor is very responsible, dependable, and is very caring for animals and you can see it. Her love for animals is undying and I believe she would be a valuable addition to the rover community. Taylor is a great human being and animals will always be apart of her life and lifestyle down the road.
