Knowledgeable & Skilled Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Growing up with dogs and cats, pets have always been part of the family for me. I've been dog-walking and pet sitting since I was 11 years old and since then my love for animals has grown with my education and experience. I graduated U of I with a bachelor's in animal sciences and have 4 years of veterinary technician employment. I am able to medicate difficult pets, handle pets with health conditions, and perform some grooming services: nail trim, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, and bathing. My work schedule allows me to be available 2-3 times a day (depending on your location) and after 4 pm every evening. I have two full days off a week, usually the weekends, but it varies by week.
Reviews
Kailey stepped in to watch our house and cats for a last minute trip we took. She was very conscientious and left us very detailed accounts of the daily happenings. Highly recommend.
Kailey has helped my family with dog sitting responsibilities multiple times over. Previous to having Kailey take responsibility for our two labs anytime my family would vacation, I found myself defaulting to local establishments that board hundreds of pets at a time - not to suggest that "Dog Hotels" are ill equipped to properly care for mine or anyone's dogs, but there is a certain peace of mind that comes with allowing Sophie and Kobe (our labs) to stay at home and receive personal attention any time we're away that make's me feel much better about their well-being. The only approval needed to confirm that Kailey was a more-than-capable dog care-giver was to see the manner in which Sophie and Kobe embraced her the first time they met which, as I am sure many pet owner's can attest to, is not always the case during an initial interaction. Kailey is kind, a great communicator and punctual anytime that I have put Sophie and Kobe in her care. I can give a resounding recommendation to anyone who is considering using her as a dog-walker and beyond!
I've known Kailey for a few years now, and use her to watch my dogs whenever my wife and I travel. My boys Theo and Petey have a ton of energy and sometimes can be troublesome, but Kailey handles them well. We know we can trust her to make sure the boys get their much need walks and playtime, but that they also have a buddy to keep them company during the night (Theo always needs someone to snuggle with). We travel regularly, yet Kailey always goes out of her way to be available even on short notice.

Skills
Information Kailey L. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know: age, pre-existing health conditions, medications/supplements, feeding schedule, special needs, and how pet typically handles separation from owner. Before making any arrangements I would like to meet your dog(s), and learn where their food, toys, and cleaning supplies are kept.
A typical day
Besides play time and belly scratches, I love long walks and hope your dog does too! If your dog is a social butterfly I'm willing to travel to dog parks or the local Pet Smart (assuming your dog is up to date on vaccines). Maybe your dog loves car rides, or whip cream cups from the Starbucks drive-thru, (who doesn't?) I'd be happy to oblige.
