I am a full time PA student that lives in the Skokie area, so I am at school a fair amount- usually from around 9am-3pm Monday-Friday (this varies quite a bit depending on faculty schedules). Often we have gaps in scheduling, and when I am not at school, I am studying, working out, or hanging out with my cat. I carve time to play and enrich my own cat each day, and I certainly have time to enrich your pets as well!

My two dogs are crate trained at home, but they normally have free reign over the house when no one is home. I am completely comfortable crating your pets, if that is what you need, by the time I leave your house.

Pet care experience

I have absolutely loved all animals from an extremely young age. I grew up with two large dogs (newfoundlands), and I also had a number of small animals growing up. I have had two guinea pigs, a hamster, and now, a cat! I love caring for all types of animals, but my passion especially lies with cats and dogs. I have experience caring overnight for my family friends' dogs, who are both wild and fun golden doodles. I also have cared for my friends 2 cats for two months while he did rotations! I currently own my own cat named Pepe, and I have 2 family dogs back home in Indiana. Both of my dogs at home have medical issues, and both take medications and have special needs. I have watched these dogs while my family was away for two weeks, and on numerous other occasions. I also have experience working with elderly dogs, as my late Newfoundland Lucy was 15 years old when she passed away. I am excited to work with you, and I can't to meet your furry friends!

Taylor has taken care of our dogs many times. We have 3 Newfoundland dogs all >100 lbs. They are spoiled rotten and require alot of care. Our 1st newfie is 165 lbs, elderly, and often requires help with certain activities (ie: stairs, getting into a car, etc). When i asked Taylor if that would be an issue, she assured me that she was more than capable of physically helping her ...and she has demonstrated that MANY times since...but more importantly, she is so gentle and sweet while helping her. Our 2nd newfie has multiple health problems, including epilepsy, that require medications 4 times/day. Taylor is vigilant about making sure she gives the medications safely and on time. Our youngest pup is playful and energetic and requires alot of attention and exercise. Taylor loves to play with her and take her on walks. We never thought we would find someone who would love and take care of our dogs like we do, but Taylor does. She seems to love animals of all kinds. She has been honest, trustworthy, and reliable everytime we need a dogsitter or dog walker. We are grateful for Taylor and highly recommend her.

Taylor’s commitment to professionalism and communication has been unmatched. Super attentive, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Booking with her always gives me peace of mind and I don’t have to worry about anything because I know she’s got it covered. I appreciate her patience and accommodations given that my pup can be difficult.
