Availability

Recently graduated from UCSC and so I am free to pet sit while I am looking for a full time job. I am very flexible. I am a writer so I will be home a lot reading and writing. I will rarely leave your dog alone if at all, so if you have a pup that needs extra love that's what I'm here for. Call me anytime.

Pet care experience

(I am busy as of late, but still reach out if want to. I can maybe fit your dog into my schedule.) I have taken care of dogs for many years. Family, friends, neighbors, clients. I love spending time with the dogs as much as possible, and they in turn seem to love me right away. I live by the beach on West cliff so if your dog likes wind and waves it's a perfect match!

Kai watched our senior and puppy Vizslas for a long weekend. Things went great, we would definitely use him again.

Kai was an absolute gem. We were scrambling to find last-minute holiday boarding for our dog Cricket, and he exceeded our expectations. Kai was responsive, accommodating, and took wonderful care of our baby. She loved staying with him - will absolutely book again. Thank you, Kai! 🙏🏼
