“We boarded our dog Charlotte for three nights at Kayla's and are really happy that we did. Charlotte enjoyed her stay a lot, she was so tired after he fetched her! We got a lot of photo updates which we really appreciated. Overall, we'd totally board her again with with Kayla and her mum and would strongly recommend them!”

Shuting is a great communicator, and sent pictures of our pup everyday with a note on how things were going.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and currently care for three of my own, so I understand the love, attention, and consistency they need every day. Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, administering medications when needed, and recognizing each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m a dependable, patient, and attentive sitter who will care for your pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep everything clean and well cared for during house sits or drop in. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I know every pet is part of the family, and my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry friend. I’m home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. My main commitments are dog sitting and babysitting, which allows me to provide reliable care, frequent walks, playtime, potty breaks, and overnight stays. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the attention and companionship they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel secure while you’re away. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep it clean, and maintain your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving loving, attentive care.

About: I’ve had a dog by my side for as long as I remember, so caring for pets isn't a job to me, it's second nature. I know the little things that matter: sticking to feeding schedules, reading a dog's mood, giving them enough exercise, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable even when their owner isn't around. I treat every dog I watch like my own. I'm flexible and reliable available for morning and evening care on weekdays, and open all day on weekends. Whether it's an early walk before work or a late-night check-in, I can work around your dog's routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own, whether I'm caring for them in my home or theirs. I stick closely to their regular routine feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner so the transition feels as normal as possible. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and comfort, and I always keep a close eye on their behavior and wellbeing. I send updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

Another wonderful boarding experience with Maddie! She always takes such great care of Joey and this time was no exception. Although he was battling an ear infection during his stay, she was able to give him his ear drops every day (along with his growing list of meds and supplements as a senior dog.) Joey came home a happy and healthy pup, thanks to Maddie. We highly recommend her for your pet care needs!
