Lifelong Dog Lover

Hi! I'm a responsible and reliable dog lover who has experience caring for my own (very) senior dog, as well as the dogs of many friends, family members, and neighbors over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! As the owner of a senior dog, I understand firsthand the patience and specialized care that all pets need and deserve. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and well taken care of! Looking forward to meeting you!

Kaela really helped us out in a pinch with walking our senior dog. She was reliable, responsive, and our dog loved her. Highly recommend!

Kaela is a kind and considerate person who I would absolutely trust to watch my animal. She is amazing with her own dog––a beagle named Pepper who adores her–– as well as really any dog we encounter. She's reliable, trustworthy, and could not be recommended more.

I highly recommend Kaela for any type of pet caregiving, including dog walking, feeding, etc. Kaela loves animals, particularly dogs of all kinds, and is wonderful with them. She has had years of experience taking care of all types of pets (primarily dogs, but also cats, fish, and other pets) and, based on how loving and reliable she is, is frequently asked by neighbors, friends, and people who hear about her to help with their pets. To begin with, Kaela has a dog -- a 14-year-old beagle named Pepper. Kaela is fantastic with Pepper (she handles every type of Pepper-related responsibility) and is definitely the person Pepper is the most calm with (which is significant for a high strung dog!). Kaela gravitates towards dogs, and has had extensive experience interacting with them and helping people care for their pets while they are away. She has been an informal dog walker for about eight years (since high school). She has taking care of numerous dogs and other pets. She is rock solid reliable -- nothing slips through the crack with her. She is always on time, extremely caring with the pets, generous with the amount of time she spends with the dogs before, during, and after the walks, feeds them according to their schedule, and is affectionate and loving throughout. One couldn't ask for a better, more loving and reliable, pet caretaker.

Schedule

I'm spending late June into July back in New York City and currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day and week. After several months of solo travel, I'm am excited to slow down and spend some time with animals! Because of my flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate last-minute requests, recurring walks, and families who may need flexibility. spending time with animals and helping local pet owners with reliable, attentive care.
