About Taylah
Hello! Please take the time to read below!
I am a vet nurse who has been in the industry for over 10 years! I am very passionate about animals and always strive to give them the best care - which of course they deserve! I am confident is dosing all types of medication, have first aid knowledge as well as a great deal of experience when it comes to dog behaviour and play.
I did a lot of pet sitting in my earlier nursing years and now that I own my own home, I would love to offer my services again. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets when you go away so be assured that with me they will be treated like my own!
My two fur babies are Golden Retrievers, named Arlo and Odie. Both are very social with other dogs and Odie especially loves a good play!
I have a very large, secure backyard with plenty of grass, a sandpit for unlimited digging and shaded areas as well. We have a ridiculous amount of toys and on warmer days we often bring out a paddle pool or sprinkler!
We have a dog door so they are able to go in and out as they please and at night they are always welcome to sleep inside with us. Our dogs are allowed everywhere- including the bedroom and on the couch! We keep a very clean home environment so if your dog is a bit cheeky and likes to steal snacks or items (socks, shoes etc) then we have that risk reduced! We have some great walking trails around but please understand that we will not allow your dog to be off lead with us. This is for their safety and to avoid any problems this can lead to. I am a big lover of food enrichment activities and have plenty of kongs, licki mats, slow feeders etc that I rotate and use.
I am currently on maternity leave with my first baby. While we do spend most of our time at home, I do need to attend appointments and run some errands therefore your dog must be ok with being left alone with my dogs for short periods of time. We usually leave indoor and outdoor access when this happens so if your dog has seperation anxiety or a history or chewing/destroying furniture then we are not able to accomodate them.
Conditions before booking:
- Your dog/s must be up to date with a C5 vaccination (proof will be required prior to the meet and greet)
- Meet and Greets are always non optional. We want to make sure our dogs get along before confirming their stay- as well as meeting you and answering any questions you may have. I have a great deal of experience in reading dog behaviour and play- therefore I will be honest! I want your dog to feel comfortable and safe in my home and with my dogs.
- Your dog/s must be social, and not have any history of aggression towards people or dogs. I have a great amount of experience with anxiety issues but aggression we can not risk with our dogs.
- I will not be able to accept bookings for females in season
- Your dog must be fully toilet trained
- We can not accomodate dogs with seperation anxiety or history of furniture/object destruction.
