Highlights
Pet care experience
Paws, Claws, Scales & Tails Welcome
I’ve spent more than 10 years caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. Having cared for such a variety of animals has taught me that every pet has their own routine, boundaries, quirks, and way of communicating. I also have personal experience raising and training puppies of my own, including potty training and teaching basic commands and simple tricks. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m comfortable reinforcing the routines and training methods you already use at home so your pup has consistency while in my care. What sets me apart is that I’m comfortable with more than just the traditional furry family members. Whether your pet has paws, claws, scales, or a personality three times their size, I’m happy to learn their routine and provide patient, attentive care. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pets, so I treat every animal with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort come first in my home or yours. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, boundaries, feeding schedule, and any household rules so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away. At my home, I have a friendly 4-year-old Boxer mix, plenty of toys and blankets for playtime and snuggles, and access to crating when needed or preferred. I also have a large backyard; however, it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always supervised and kept securely leashed or on an appropriate lead while outside. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your space. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for in the environment they know best. 🐾
Ratings and reviews
Kaila has helped me with 3 of our dogs. She is amazing. She took them out, on walks and play time. She stayed with them overnight while I was on vacation. They were always happy to see her!
Easily the best person I've ever met when it comes to pet care. Knows more about animals and how to handle them than even most real boarders and groomers. She taught me about how to properly feed and care for my dog Xena, how best to wash and clean her, and numerous other things. Top-tier pet carer.

Schedule
My weekday schedule is very open and flexible, with general availability from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, feeding schedules, playtime, and spending quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible, whether that means an early morning potty break, midday walk, meals on schedule, or simply having someone around to keep them company. I’m currently focusing on weekday care and am not offering weekend services at this time. 🐾
