About Taliesin

Before I was born, my family bred and trained German shepherds, which has shaped how I care for and train my own animals (none currently). I have had Cats, Dogs, even cockatoos and possums around my whole life, and I am incredibly passionate about animal care and training, no matter what animal I'm being trusted with. I have grown up with standard poodles, rescues, the occasional pit bull, beagles, a border collie, and about as many cats as you can name, in environments ranging from a literal 4-acre farm to regular suburban houses to city apartments. 

I understand every relationship needs trust, safety, and respect at the forefront if it's going to work, even for a short time. I have immense respect for boundaries regarding your pets' training and lifestyle, and I will uphold and reinforce them to the absolute best of my ability. I understand it can be difficult to leave your animal's care in someone else's hands, even for a short time, and I want to make that experience as positive as possible for you and your loved one.

 I can also provide a detailed report (energy levels, bowel movements, types of play, overstimulation, triggers, training, etc.) when I care for your animal (I can provide examples I have done in the past upon request!). I am incredibly passionate about proper care for animals and would love to help you out- we all know how much work it takes, I would be honoured to help lighten the load. 

I can do walks up to 2 hours, and can provide overnight care as well (not at my home). I am comfortable administering medications, not much I haven't seen before. I am not currently in a living situation that supports boarding pets, but I am more than happy to organize getting to your home! 

I would love to get to know your fur-babies and make your life easier.
