Hi there :)
I'm Taylor and I'm a full time university student, currently studying my bachelors in social work. My schedule is incredibly flexible so I'm free to cater to you and your furry little friend most times and days of the week :)
I love all animals big and small and I find them the best of company. I love the outdoors and I'm quite the nature and wildlife geek. I've studied environmental science and have done 1 year volunteer work in wildlife/habitat conservation and have volunteered with the RSPCA with pet sitting in the past - clearly, I’m an enthusiast! I don't have any pets of my own so I would love to get to know your pets instead! Regular visits are more than welcome! I'm on pawshake certainly looking to play with and cuddle animals as I absolutely adore them (and I’m not just looking for a paycheck). I'm very genuine and will go the extra mile for your loved one :)
- I have my own car so I can pick up/ drop off your pet
- My availabity is very open and flexible
- I'm comfortable and confident in administering medicaton if needed.
- I offer pet enscloure cleaning
- I can offer basic grooming service (dog wash & brush, nail trim)
- I can look after all sorts of animals (inc birds, chickens, horses, etc... all except reptiles as I have no experience with them)
My ‘home visits’ (once or twice a day) include a 15-30 min visit (depending on the needs of your pets), where I will feed them, clean up any enclosures, and have a little play/cuddle. I will usually stop by early in the morning and late in the evening. I’m happy to organise longer stays for an additional cost. Alternatively, I can come once a day and stay for 2-3 hours for the ‘twice a day’ rate ($40). Please let me know if this is what you would like when booking.
My ‘house sitting’ is where I sleep over, keep your pets company and mind your house. I will feed them, clean enclosures, take them for a short walk (if needed), and look after anything around the home (like watering plants). I will usually stay for a 12 hour period (evening hour till morning hour, e.g 7pm-7am), longer when staying for consecutive days. Start / finish times are flexible depending on my availability. 24 hour visits can be arranged for an extra $25 (let me know if you want this when booking).
My ‘boarding’ or ‘day care’ is currently only available to small indoor dogs & cats. They will have free roam of the house & we have a safe outdoor enclosure for them to enjoy & watch the many birds we get in the yard throughout the day. The yard is filled with trees and a lot of shade. The back yard is fenced seperate from the front yard so your pets are kept far from the road. Please provide your pets food, bedding, and toys (+ medication if needed), when you drop them off / when I pick them up. It is expected that your pets are flea treated. Please let me know if your pets have any behavioural issues (such as chewing, furniture scratching, barking, etc) when booking. I will be able to offer this service for outdoor dogs (who can roam the back yard freely) from November.
‘Boarding’ / ‘Day Care’ cont: I have no pets of my own at the house but I will let you know at the time of your booking if there are any other animals staying with me for your booking time. Your pet will received 24/7 minding when staying at my home. I am currently only able to offer 24/7 minding on weekends as I work 7am-5pm during the week. I am still more than happy to have your pet stay with me during the week as I am home outside of these hours, but they will be kept safely indoors or in the enclosure (where you feel most comfortable) while I’m at work.
If you have any questions or would like to make a booking, please contact me :D
Looking forward to to hearing from you. Taylor ^_^
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Great visit
I knew Groucho was totally fine so I had a fabulous day out
Thanks Taylor
Taylor was everything we hoped for our girl. Stella is a little girl who needs love and attention and she was certainly well looked after.
Can't recommend Taylor enough.

I have plenty of experience in pet care (washing, trimming nails, etc), basic training, enclosure cleaning, worming/vaccinating, and birthing.
I have done years of pet baby sitting for the RSPCA from my own home with my family, and have owned/looked after many animals of all shapes and sizes, but mostly cats and dogs.
I volunteered 1 year for a wildlife conservation group where I restored natural habitats for the local wildlife of Brisbane.
