“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”

She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊”

About: I've been a dog person for as long as I can remember, with over 13 years of hands-on experience covering walks, cuddles, vet visits, and everything in between. I recently lost my beloved pup to cancer, so I know firsthand what it means to love a dog deeply and care for them through every stage of life. I'm experienced with senior dogs and administering medication, and welcome large breeds . My partner Max is also home to help, so your pup is always in good hands. I only host one household at a time and am committed to giving your dog my full attention. Right now we have a pet-free home and will give your pup gets all of our attention. Your dog will be treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive. Fri-Mon there is someone home at all times, so potty breaks can be kept to whatever schedule your dog requires. We don't often host midweek, but if we do, Tue-Thu we are able to limit alone time to approximately 4-5 hrs. I have a securely fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks, and will be present with you dog as long as they are outside (no leaving them alone despite the fence). Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I'll stick to whatever routine works best for your pet, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs. I'm experienced with senior dogs and large breeds, and I'm happy to share regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. I am a fourth-year medical student rotating in your city and would love to spend some time with your fur baby (& make some spending money)!! 😉 I grew up with both cats and dogs in my house & quickly learned the intricacies of caring for animals. I make it a point to assess their body language and anticipate their needs. I got my dog, Winston, when he was 8 weeks old. He is the first animal I have ever had on my own, and we have grown so much together. We took three behavioral training classes, and I am proud to say that I trained him myself! I am experienced with both puppies/kittens and senior dogs/cats. I feel comfortable administering medication, helping them use the restroom, bottle feeding...you name it! I have a very flexible schedule on my rotation (typically 8- 1 p.m.) and would be more than happy to devote some time for cuddles, exercise, and/or training with your animal while you are away/busy! Tentative Schedule: July > Las Vegas, NV August > Tucson, AZ September > Philadelphia, PA October > Columbus, OH November > Danville, PA & Detroit, MI December > Detroit, MI & Las Vegas, NV January > Loma Linda, CA February-May > Las Vegas, NV Winston and I start our day at approximately 6:00 am with a quick walk and breakfast before I head to work. We have either a play session or a training session mid-day and wrap up the evening with another walk and training before dinner. While I go to work every day, my schedule is flexible and allows me to step out whenever needed. I have ample time to add in a few walks/check-ins on your furry friends! :) Winston LOVES getting into things he should not, so I spend a lot of my time making sure that my house/backyard are picked up to avoid any issues. I would do the same for your house. He also has his own area equipped with a comfortable bed, his favorite blanket, and multiple toys of all varieties (squeaky toys, tug toys, comfort, etc.). I would make sure that your dog(s) feel(s) at home in my presence by entering slowly, letting them adjust to me (and undoubtedly smell Winston), and then watching their cues to determine my next steps. My flexible schedule allows me to exercise them both early in the morning, mid-day, and later at night!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, as well as 2 cats! I’ve watched and owned both very small dogs about 10 pounds, as well as 110 pound dogs. I love to go on walks, so I’ll make sure your dogs walk a nice far distance! I will play with your pets, feed them, walk them, let them out as often as needed, clean their litter box, and make sure they’re feeling loved. I truly love animals and I am grateful for the opportunity to spend time with them. I can also provide whatever special care your pet may need. I promise your pets will be in good hands! I work 9-5 during the week, so I am available for drop ins before 9 and after 5, as well as all day on Fridays (I work remote on Friday) and all day on the weekends. I have reliable transportation and I am incredibly responsible. I am available for overnight care as well throughout the entire week. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, but I do not currently have any of my own as a young adult. I love animals and miss my own family pets dearly, so this is a nice way to be around animals while helping take care of them! I am capable of providing whatever care for your pet that you might need!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been the one to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for. I’m currently a proud cat mom to two cats who are quite literally my children, I truly believe pets are family and deserve all the love in the world. ❤️ My friends and family regularly trust me to look after their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. I even originally dreamed of becoming a veterinarian before pursuing my passion for fashion design! No matter what kind of pet you have, I’ll treat them like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I work from home half of the week, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with my two cats, so I’d love to have some extra furry friends to keep me company. I’m happy to coordinate schedules and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority! If watching a dog in my home, my cats will be put in a separate room for every pets well being! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll be sure to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home clean, make sure your pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of affection, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same love and respect I give my own two cats!

Rachel did a great job with my cat. She’s professional, communicative, and very attentive to her needs. When I returned from my trip, my cat seemed happy, calm, and well-adjusted, all thanks to Rachel’s daily visits. I would recommend Rachel to anyone.

Alex so awesome. I would highly recommend her to watch your precious angels. She made everything so easy. She was very patient with my huge scared and shy newfoundland Buckley. My other 2 dogs Harpo and Jax fell in love with her very quickly. Alex and i messaged back and forth and i gave her some ideas to get Buckley to warm up to her. She was very thankful for the ideas and Buckley warmed up to her after only a couple visits. I didn't have to worry while on vacation because she was very communicative. I felt like they were in such good hands. Would definitely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!
