Palmerston NorthAbout Taylor
Hi!
I am Taylor,
I'm a 26 year old full-time PhD student living in Palmy! I currently work with both cats and dogs for my study, which has been amazing - the unlimited cuddles definitely helps during the stressful periods.
I have grown up surrounded by family pets, and have a cat of my own, so I know firsthand how challenging it can be to have someone mind him when I have to travel out of town. My boy Iggy is my everything, so I understand that having somebody who you can trust to care for your pet as they would their own is all we can ask for - one less thing to worry about while you're away! I have been a sitter for pets of family friends in the past and handle cats daily for my studies. I will be teaching a cat handling course this semester at Massey University. I am also happy to provide references when requested.
As a postgrad student I make my own timetable and don't have frequent classes to attend which means making myself available for time with your fur children will not be an issue! I am usually available morning and evening, and aim to be at the office by 9.30am. Unfortunately, as I live in a flat I cannot offer my services to bring your lovely pet into my home. However, coming to your home where your pet is comfortable and in familiar surroundings would be ideal.
Services:
Dog walking:
- Available to pick up your dog from your home for a 30 minute stroll and some fresh air.
- Will supply own poop bags if necessary.
House visits once or twice a day:
- Available for visits up to twice per day for a minimum of 30 minutes each visit.
- Tasks will include feeding, cleaning of litter trays and food/water bowls with the main focus being play time with your pets.
House sitting (overnight):
- Available to stay from late afternoon until morning (flexible hours TBD based on meet and greet chat).
- Happy to open and close curtains, bring in mail, water plants on request.
- My aim is a high standard of care for your property and your pet, treating them as if they were my own.
I look forward to our meet and greet, and having a chat about your lovely pets and their specific needs.

Reviews
Taylor was brilliant! She was willing to step up with some extra care for our anxious girl at a difficult time for us. Willow’s medication was administered beautifully and she’s looking really well. What could have been a stressful time was not. Very impressed, thank you!
Taylor is a life saver. Our regular pet/house sitters (not from Pawshake) were unable to pet/house sit so it was a mad rush to find someone suitable. I was just about to cancel our travel plans when Taylor said she could do it ♥️. My 3 dogs and elderly cat instantly likes her.
We were kept up to date with messages and photos. My fur babies were well looked after and the house was clean and tidy when Taylor left.
I would highly recommend Taylor to others. I certainly will be 😊
