“I can't recommend Taylor enough! She took incredible care of my 15-year-old cat, Ashes, who is currently in hospice care. Taylor was very easy to get in touch with, followed all my instructions perfectly, and was a joy to communicate with. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Ashes was well cared for. I received reports and pictures of Ashes after every visit. Her kindness and dedication gave me so much peace of mind during my trip. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

About: I have been around all kinds of animals my entire life, especially dogs. I have been around all ages of dogs and currently have two Australian Shepherd border collie mixes. I worked for two years at a dog daycare, boarding and training facility. Although I am not a dog trainer, I did work with a couple of dogs with the trainers as helpers. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, aggressive dogs, particular dogs, scared dogs and can confidently say I up for a challenge. I am also a mom so nothing can gross me out! If you were looking to do anything at my house, I do have like I said two of my own dogs as well as a daughter under a year old I accept only one- two dogs at a time for my house, but my dogs are super friendly and I actually used them as introduction dogs at the daycare I worked at. Our front yard is not fenced in, but I do have a fenced in pen where I let them do the majority of their bathroom breaks and then I take them on walks through throughout the property. I am currently working part-time because I am a Mom and can only work on the weekends maybe occasionally during the week. My goal is to create a tight schedule that way we have no conflicts. Depending on your dog and the training that you guys have in place, I can help Help with a number of things. If we need to work on keeping them in the crate or keeping them out of the crate, or doing leash walks. I can do little drop in daycare sessions where we play outside. It really depends on what your dog needs, and what the limitations there are.

About: I have cared for many dogs, including mine and others. I have experience with dog sitting 10 lbs puppies all the way to caring for large Great Danes. I am recently a new cat owner and have watched over cats for several years for others. I am a collegiate athlete, but I just got into my off-season. I would love to do drop-in visits while I am on break from school. I also have a lot of experience with extended pet care while owners are on vacation. My schedule is more flexible now that I am out of season, I can't wait to fill it with time for your pup. I have always had a dog in my home growing up, so I truly have a love for animals. Every pup I get the opportunity to care for, I treat them like my own. I love meeting every animal's personality and providing them with the care and comfort they deserve. I always want the best experience for them, leaving them happy, which leaves you happy!

Nelson cat parents share their Rover experiences
What Taylor does is not just pet sitting — she puts us pet parents at ease. It was high-level care with the precision of someone who’s done this a hundred times and still treats every visit like it’s her first. She consistently kept us informed, not just with updates, but with real insight into how our pets were doing. You could tell she wasn’t just checking a box — she was tuning in. She took the time to bond with them, and that trust she built? You can’t fake that. Our pets felt it, and so did we. What really stood out? She thought of things I never would’ve. Small details, smart decisions, the kind of proactive care that shows she’s not only thoughtful — she’s operating on another level. Bottom line: Her caliber of service doesn’t just deserve a tip — it earns it. Tip her well, otherwise please book someone else.
