My current schedule is Sunday-Thursday from 7am-3:30 pm. However, I live with my boyfriend who has a Monday-Friday job and helps out with the dogs. My job is also only two miles from home, making it very easy to go home on lunches. We spend a lot of time walking around local parks and working in the yard, both of which would be great activities to add dogs to.

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is not fenced, but the dogs will never be out without a leash. Even dogs that may usually be trusted will never be off leash or out of sight outdoors. Inside I can easily separate dogs if I have multiple at a time. I do have one dog, but he is exceptionally well behaved with other dogs and loves to play.

Information Taylor W. would like to know about your pet

Are they good with other dogs, and have they spent extended time with unfamiliar dogs prior? Do they have any food/toy/person aggression? Are they typically crated when left alone? Do they behave well on a leash? Are there any allergies or health issues I should be aware of? How much exercise can they handle? What is the best way to calm them down in the event of anxiety? What things tend to make them anxious? Are they okay around children (I don't have any in the home, but there are a lot of kids in the neighborhood)? Are they okay with crowds or loud noises? Are there any places or situations I should avoid? Do they have marking issues in new places?

A typical day

I absolutely love spending time with dogs. That being said, I would likely spend as much time as possible with your dog. I would be perfectly happy bringing my homework along and getting it done while playing with your pet. I also love taking walks, and would walk as far as your dog would be able to happily go. If there are parks nearby, I would love to take them there as well. I am also more than ok with being lazy with them if that is more their speed.

Dog Lover Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Taylor and I am an absolute dog lover, it doesn't matter what breed. I've always admired their loyalty, as well as their unconditional love. Growing up, I had a Vizsla, a Blue Tick Coon Hound, and multiple German Shepherds. Now I have my own shepherd, but we always love new friends! I am happy to take them out on walks, adventures to the dog parks, or just laying around all day. Whatever works for you! I love walking dogs, checking in on cats, and having doggy visitors at my house! Unfortunately, due to my schedule, I am less available to stay at your home, but would be happy to bring them here. So if you're looking for someone to trust with your dog, look no further and contact me!

Highly recommend Taylor for all your pip sitting needs. We’ve used her for years, and she’s always taken such great care of our dogs. She’s extremely accommodating and attentive to them. So sad to be moving and not having her anymore!

If I could give Taylor 10 I would!! She was so caring and loving to my dog right away and he really liked her from the start. I needed someone to watch him for an emergency surgery the next day and she was available for me to bring him that very night for about 10 days. She sent me pictures everyday almost.

My pup was very well taken care of while I was out of town. Taylor went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable leaving him in her excellent care. He had a blast and was nice and tired when I got him home. We’re excited to have him stay again.

They were great. They walked my dogs right away and made them feel at home! Will use them again in the future for my babies :)
