I currently work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide attentive care to pets who need companionship throughout the day. 🐶 For Dogs: Whether it’s keeping an anxious puppy company, ensuring a senior dog sticks to their routine, or providing regular walks and playtime, I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I’m also available for longer stays if your dog requires more attention or consistency. 🐱 For Cats: Cats thrive on routine, and I can provide care that aligns with their schedule, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just quiet companionship. If your cat is shy, I’ll take the time to build trust at their pace, and if they’re active, I’ll make sure they get the engagement and enrichment they need. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾

About Kaila B.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize maintaining a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for every pet I care for, whether in their home or out on a walk. My goal is to reduce stress, provide enrichment, and keep pets happy while their owners are away. 🐶 For Dogs: I follow each dog's routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior, and I have experience with leash manners, basic obedience, and confidence-building for anxious or reactive dogs. If your pup enjoys extra activity, I can also take them on hikes (with owner approval) for a fun and enriching experience. Safety is always my top priority—whether that means using a secure harness, monitoring off-leash time in approved areas, or making sure your pup feels comfortable before engaging in play. 🐱 For Cats: I understand that cats have unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe and at ease. Whether they’re social and playful or more reserved, I adjust my approach to match their comfort level. I have experience caring for senior cats, administering medication, and engaging younger, high-energy cats with interactive play. I also ensure litter boxes stay clean, feeding routines are followed, and they get plenty of attention (or space) based on their individual needs. Let me know if you’d like me to tailor my care to any special requirements your pet may have—I’m happy to accommodate! 😊🐾

Information Kaila B. would like to know about your pet
I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Let me know if they have any special needs, quirks, or routines that help them feel at ease. Does your pup need extra patience on stairs? Have a senior dog who needs a little help eating? Is your cat super social or more of a “look but don’t touch” type? I’ve worked with a wide range of pet personalities and love adjusting my care to fit their needs. If your dog has any medical conditions (like epilepsy), behavioral triggers, or special training routines, I’m happy to accommodate. Just let me know, and we’ll make sure they have the best experience possible! ??
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor my day to their needs! ? For dogs, this could mean a slow sniff-filled walk for a senior pup, a fun hike to tire out a high-energy breed, or a training session to reinforce good habits. I also keep an eye on special needs, like avoiding triggers for reactive or epileptic dogs. If we’re staying in, I love finding creative ways to keep them engaged—whether it’s puzzle toys, enrichment games, or just plenty of cuddle time. ? For cats, I respect their personalities and preferences. Some love interactive play (mouse-on-a-string is always a hit!), while others just want a cozy lap, a good brushing, or space to do their own thing. I make sure they get attention and stimulation in a way that makes them feel safe and happy. ?

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Kaila—a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. What started as helping friends and family has turned into a true passion for providing pets with a safe, loving, and engaging environment while their humans are away. Why Choose Me? 🐶 For Dogs: 🐾 Experienced with All Ages & Special Needs – Whether it’s caring for a playful puppy, administering medication to a senior dog, or supporting a pet with special needs like epilepsy or anxiety, I have hands-on experience adapting care to fit each dog’s unique personality and health requirements. 🐾 Training Experience – I attended puppy training classes with Pimi, my former roommate’s shelter mix, and learned key training techniques in obedience, socialization, and leash manners. I also helped train a reactive pittie using positive reinforcement and high-reward treats to build confidence and trust. 🐾 Diverse Pet Care Background – From raising a litter of 11 puppies to helping my sister’s dog through pregnancy and birth, I have experience in every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve also helped socialize a high-energy cattle dog, managed a shy rescue pup’s trust-building journey, and cared for Norwegian Elkhounds with extensive grooming needs. 🐾 Reliable & Trustworthy – I take pet care seriously and ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, structured play, or a cozy evening on the couch, I tailor my care to fit your dog’s personality and energy levels. 🐾 Outdoor Adventures Available – If your pup loves exercise, I offer hikes (with owner approval) to keep them engaged and happy. 🐾 My Home & Resident Pets: I currently reside in Fremont, CA, in an apartment without a yard but with plenty of green spaces and parks nearby. I share my home with two friendly and well-socialized pets: - Cambria (Cambi): A 30 lb mutt born in August 2022, great with all dogs and cats. - Jupiter (Jupie): A 12 lb tabby cat born in 2019, excellent with all dogs and cats, and adept at gently correcting over-excitable dogs. Both Cambria and Jupiter can be separated from your pet by doors and doggy gates if needed, ensuring a comfortable environment for all. A Little More About Me & My Experience: 🐶 Dogs I’ve Cared For Include: • A pittie with reactivity triggers (Blu) • A shelter mix with epilepsy requiring daily meds (Pimi) • A cattle dog with high exercise needs (Dash) • A Norwegian Elkhound show dog with specialized grooming needs (Molly) • An elder Norwegian Elkhound requiring daily meds and support standing, etc. (Lucy) • A shy rescue pup that needed trust-building (Wiley) • A Ridgeback puppy with high energy and some resource guarding (Fern) What You Can Expect from Me: ✔️ Lots of love, playtime, and attention tailored to your pet’s personality ✔️ Medication administration (if needed) ✔️ Regular updates & photos so you never have to worry ✔️ Walks, exercise, and enrichment activities (for dogs) ✔️ Playtime, enrichment, and respect for routine (for cats) ✔️ A clean and safe environment I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet & greet so I can learn more about how to make your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. 😊🐾

Reviews
Kaila recently house sat for us, taking care of our young energetic dog and two middle aged cranky cats. She did a wonderful job! We got regular updates and photos about all the pets, so we never had to worry or wonder. The most telling thing for us was how much more relaxed all three of our pets were when we got home. Usually when we come back from vacation, there is an adjustment period as they destress; that didn’t happen at all this time! They were happy to see us but seemed so relaxed and well cared for. We could not have asked for a better experience!
Kaila was fantastic with my 2 cats. She took her time to get to know them and even convinced the shy one to come out! I would happily book again.
Kaila has been the best to our boy Rambo and has been taking him for his afternoon walks. She's punctual and sweet and Rambo easily warmed up to her.
Kaila was incredibly accommodating with pickup and drop-off times, as well as the meeting location. She took wonderful care of our shy puppy, Astro, and did a great job reading his body language and earning his trust. This was Astro's first time away from home (4 nights) and he really enjoyed his time! She kept me updated (pictures and videos) throughout his stay, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing Astro was in good hands. Kaila also helped with his socialization by supervising gentle introductions to her cat and other dogs.
