Pet care experience

Shy Animal Whisperer

I have taken care of my close friends and families many cats and dogs of different breeds and amazingly different personality types for at least the last 15 years. Who doesn't love an exuberant leg rub hello from a lovey kitty or a jumping puppy who loves to give kisses? However, keep in mind I do have a special skill set with both cats and dogs that are very unsure of new people. When I enter an animals home I actively ignore shy animals, sit quietly and let them come to me on their own terms. I have a strong understanding of those classic stress signals, the cute but warning whale eyes, the lip licking (and not because they are hungry) and flat ears. I am also versed in diabetic care for cats as well. I am comfortable with large breed dogs and have experience with German Shepherds and Bully Breeds. In addition I am willing to wear an N95 as needed for any immune compromised needs. Looking forward to meeting your adorable animals!

Safety, trust & environment

I will be coming to you and your pet to provide the upmost familiarity and comfort for them. I have a calm slow approach and let shy animals come to me to acclimate. I am a pro at following specific instructions you might request because every pet is as unique as their people are and deserve the best. I am familiar with basic cat and dog first aid and have emergency vet numbers saved.

Kala was so helpful with my fur babies! She is reliable and responsive. My pets loved her and I’m sure they hope to see her again soon 😊

Kala's taken care of my diabetic cat multiple times in the past year, and I'm so grateful to know that she's getting the best care. Kala puts my mind completely at ease, and is the best pet sitter I could ask for. She's easy to communicate with, very responsible, and ultra reliable. It's clear she loves cats and I will definitely book with her again in the future!
