Safety, trust & environment

I will cater to your needs as much as possible, and follow any instructions you leave to the dot. Need me to throw the ball for your old shepherd 4 times exactly? Cool. Need me to make sure Princess gets a snack every time she comes in? Absolutely. Need me to bark at your dog so he has someone to talk to? Interesting, but fine by me.

Information Taylor W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, such as medication, if they need help with the stairs or anything else. Please let me know if your pet has a history of being fearful or aggressive with strangers, I won't turn a pet down because of this but I would like to meet them first. I am a veterinary assistant and can give medications as well.

A typical day

Anything you'd like! We can take a long walk, play inside or in your yard, practice some tricks, or just hang out on the couch.

Pet care experience

For years I've had a "zoo" at my house. From goats, to dogs, to reptiles, to rodents, to cats; even three different equine species! I've owned them all. I've always been the on-call for my friends and neighbors when they go out of town. One with a mastiff puppy, one with senior cats with medical needs, I'll love and care for them all. I have a Swedish Vallhund puppy of my own. They're a lot of work, especially as a puppy, but I love every moment of it. In addition to dogs and cats, I am very comfortable with all livestock species and would love to care for your non-traditional pets as well. Goats, sheep, horses, cows, pigs, birds, you name it!

Taylor was an amazing care taker for my cat. She was reliable, trustworthy and flexible. At the last minute I asked Taylor to drop-in one extra day so we could extend our trip and she was so accommodating. Taylor gave my cat insulin injections every day and provided daily photos and a report card. I highly recommend her!

Taylor survived another house sitting appointment with our drool monster. Took great care of the boys and can't even tell she was in the house for a few days. Highly recommend her, we'll be booking again soon.
