Meet Taylor!
Our Client Care Specialist
over, Dr. Petersen says it’s time to “roll like a rock.” Roll your body into a ball, cover your head, and keep still. Eventually we’ll realize you’re not a threat, and we’ll leave you alone.
Taylor is our client care specialist, meaning she works hard to make sure our pet moms and dads are just as happy as their pets! She grew up in the Quad Cities before attending the University of Iowa, where she received her bachelor’s in English. After college, Taylor moved back to the Quad Cities and worked in property management before moving to North Liberty with her fiancé, Kyle.
When a Human Approaches
We know you’re eager to give us a pat on the head, but if we’ve never met you before, we might find you intimidating. So, let us come to you — don’t chase us around trying to get our attention. When we approach you, hold one hand out to us in a fist without exposing your fingers and let us sniff you. Once we’ve had a good
Taylor always knew she wanted to work with animals, even if she couldn’t decide what role to play. So, when she discovered that Petersen Pet Hospital needed a client care specialist, she jumped at the opportunity, and it was the perfect role to combine her love of animals with her customer service experience. She’s thrilled to finally be surrounded by animals 24/7. Taylor has always loved being around animals and took it upon herself to teach the family pets new tricks growing up. She would even run through makeshift agility courses in her grandparents’ backyard with their miniature schnauzer and do obedience training with her family’s Boston terrier and puggle. She’ll soon be moving to Cedar Rapids with Kyle and their two dogs, affectionately dubbed “The Girls.”Their goldendoodle, Phoebe, is as sassy as they come. She regularly “talks back” and always lets you know when something is on her mind. She’s even got a sassy walk! Their Saint Bernard, Stella, is a happy girl who just loves to be included in everything they do. When she’s not snoozing in her bed, she’s leaning up against anyone and everyone for head pats and attention.
whiff and decide you’re okay, reach out slowly and start by petting us on the back or sides. We’ll work our way up to a head pat when we get to know each other a little better. Talk to us in a calm voice and pay attention to our behavior. We usually make it pretty easy to tell if things are going well or not. Meeting a dog for the first time can be a lot of fun, but it’s important to remember that our ancestors were wild animals, so sometimes those natural instincts are hard to shake. But if you refresh yourself on your greeting etiquette and teach young kids how to interact with dogs appropriately, it will make it that much easier for all of us to get along.
