We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Kayla! She took amazing care of our three dogs—they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved while we were away. Kayla kept us updated constantly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond for Nina’s birthday by giving her a special treat and finding her birthday hat for the occasion 🥹. It meant the world to us! On top of all that, the house was spotless when we got home—like she’d never been there. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat.

About: I grew up with cats, from kittens to seniors. My chores growing up involved feeding them, grooming, cleaning up after them. My aunt and uncle had dogs I would help with growing up, and they were always active and high maintenance. In middle school, I dog sat for my neighbors and enjoyed it thoroughly. I have experience in training and handling both cats and dogs, and love a challenge! I am a full time student, but my days are very flexible. I have near full availability Thursday-Sunday and I am willing to work with you to find time for your pets! I am very respectful and willing to work with your rules and times. I am very familiar with following rules and making sure I am following every instruction to a T!

Amy agreed to stay with our dogs on late notice after our other sitter fell through, so we really appreciated it and she was great! She sent use tons of pictures, kept the dogs exercised, and updated us the whole weekend! Would definitely recommend her :)
