About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets for my friends, neighbors and loved ones over the past 4 years. These have included dogs, cats, and once, a friend’s leopard gecko lizard! I pretty much like all animals of all sizes. If you hire me, your little (or big) buddy will be in safe, competent, and trustworthy hands, whether they need company during your vacation, or if we’re just out for a brief walk! I have flexibility to care for your pets and attend to their needs during work hours! I will always prioritize your pet first, and I will communicate any changes in my schedule well in advance. I can easily come by and help out your pet while you are out of town. I will happily play with your dog or cat, and will make sure their food, water and bathroom needs are taken care of.
“Kayden was great! You can tell she has a way of getting pets to quickly get close with her. My pup Roman is battling isolation anxiety, and was very happy to have Kayden come by. Not only that, but she went above and beyond with updates and even keeping my house very tidy! She goes above and beyond. I am super grateful for her and will be rebooking :)”

“Isabella did a great job watching my dogs and dealing with one of my dogs having to take medication on a regular basis after an illness diagnosis just prior to the start of the booking. She does an amazing job with my dogs and kept me updated on my dog's condition”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and have always had a dog. I truly love caring for animals and would be happy to help take care of yours with the same attention and care I give my own. and full availability over the summer. While I do have a part-time job, pet care is a top priority for me, and I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, and fully present when caring for your pet. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal schedule, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving space with plenty of attention, supervision, and time for exercise and affection. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.
