As someone who worked in the dog walking and pet-sitting trade for over a decade (and eventually wrote an insider's account of the industry: http://www.mhpbooks.com/books/the-dog-walker), Taylor is *exactly* the person to whom I'd have entrusted my own clients. Animals are not merely a job or a task to be tended to -- she's risked jail time as an undercover animal abuse investigator, and has made the well-being of animals a centerpiece of her life. Where many in the trade might cut corners, minimize their obligations, or err on the side of what's easiest (all without a client ever really knowing), Taylor's passion for our furry friends establishes an exceptional baseline for quality of care and attentiveness to even the most subtle, nuanced features of animal needs. Further, her charisma and gregariousness make for the sort of personal rapport I saw my own clients cherish. She is the diamond in the rough; the pet care provider clients should book months in advance.
