About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 2 years and absolutely love it. I have one dog of my own and a passion for training, helping dogs learn new tricks and good behavior is something I really enjoy. I’ve dog sat for several families and regularly walk dogs in my neighborhood. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and cared for. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I start my day by taking my dog out for a walk and making sure both my dog and cat are fed and happy. Throughout the day, I set aside time for walks, play sessions, and training when needed. Whether I’m pet sitting or walking dogs for others, I plan my schedule to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, so it fits seamlessly into my everyday life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow any routines or instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I create a calm and positive environment, giving pets plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their space. In a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own keeping everything clean and making sure their pet feels secure while they’re away.
“Kyla was amazing! She and our dog, Riley, got along really well. She was very attentive to Riley’s needs and was very quick to update us with any news! We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. 10/10 would recommend”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, anything from dogs to birds to cats. I love being around animals and getting to know their unique quirks and traits! I work a part time job on the weekends only so I’ll have the entire week for availability! Just about any time works and I’m very open. My services will of course vary depending on your specifications for how you would like your animal to be taken care of, but my utmost concern would be making sure their needs are met.
About: I've loved dogs my whole life and have cared for them since I was a kid. My experience with dogs includes dog sitting, playtime and walking dogs for family members, friends and neighbors frequently. I have experience with Yorkies, Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, Poodles, Cane Corsos and American Bullys. I personally own a sweet lab/pittie mix who is a great companion and loves playtime. My experience also includes administering medication to dogs, giving doggie baths, fetch training, leash training and housebreaking for puppies. Rest assured that your fur baby will be safe, happy and cared for by an experienced dog lover and professional! Since this is my passion and full-time job, I will work around your dogs needs daily. We try to make this a doggy sanctuary with a 20-foot gated backyard for your dog to run around freely. I will also let your dog out if needed overnight. Cuddles and playtime will also be a part of time with us! I love to walk, so your dog will be walked up to one mile if needed. I also offer training during their stay. In our backyard, we LOVE to play fetch and lounge around. I also give doggie baths with the shampoo of your liking at a schedule that mimics yours at home. We have a private bathroom just for doggie baths. Their schedule is my schedule for their comfort! I care for my client’s pets like they are family. I believe in playtime with toys to play fetch with. You can bring any toys or bones your dog likes; we’re willing to make sure your dog is comfortable during their stay. We want owners to be as specific as possible on what their dog likes/dislikes so we can make their stay as comfortable as possible. We highly encourage you bring your own dog food so we can make sure your dog doesn’t have an allergic reaction. Any medication or special needs they might have will be followed and photos will be taken to ensure your dog is in good hands.
