Unfortunately our first visit wasn’t a great first impression. Taylor clearly cares about animals and their wellbeing, there is no doubting that, but unfortunately there were some issues which made both me and my cats uncomfortable. We discussed flexible times for drop-in visits, which is typically okay, and Taylor showed up around 2 hours after the initial booking time. She then proceeded to spend 2.5 hours inside my home, from 11pm to 1:30am, instead of the scheduled 30 minutes (9-9:30pm). Under normal circumstances, this extra time with pets might be great. But my cats are incredibly skittish, and I told Taylor multiple times they would be scared and hiding while she was there. So instead of them being scared and hiding for 30 minutes or less, they hid for 2.5hours. Additionally, she was rummaging around my personal belongings, which made me feel very uneasy. She pulled a guitar case out from under my bed, which is the safe spot 2 of my cats were hiding in, and then proceeded to open the case and strum the guitar. I imagine this further scared my cats with all the extra noise and commotion. I believe Taylor was acting with good intentions or innocent curiosity, but these issues and others made me feel very uneasy. I think the first time visiting a new client’s home would be a time to be very respectful, follow directions as best as possible, and keep a low profile. Instead, Taylor spent 2.5 hours at my house seemingly doing anything but following the care instructions. She finally left after being ill in my bathroom for 30 minutes, during which I couldn’t contact her and was worried something had gone wrong. She shouldn’t have been at my house long enough for that to happen, but it happened and we are moving on.

My animals love her! Always so well cared for & happy when we get home. House is clean & you can barely tell someone was here! Thank you so much for taking care of these babies!!!

Taylor was late for the meet and greet with the dogs, didn’t call to let us know. Worse, she left my house a full day before she was supposed to, leaving my two dogs alone for over 16 hours! I had to scramble to find someone to go check on them and change my airline flight home to an earlier flight that cost me over $1,100!! Absolutely do not book this person.

Taylor is amazing! My babies had so much fun & were so well cared for and she did a FANTASTIC job working on their "heel" and walking training!

Taylor was great with the dogs. I have a 95 pound Staffie and she was able to handle him and my other dog at the same time. Took long walks. Unfortunately she was late for every single shift by a significant amount of time. Once she was over 3 hours late. It was very frustrating. She didn’t communicate well as when she was going to be there or why she was late. Said she would be 5 minutes and then didn’t show up until an hour later. Great with dogs just wouldn’t recommend to anyone who wants things done on time.

Happy pup and kitty! Thank you so much!
