Pet care experience

Pet sitting through grad school!

Hello! I am a 26 year old grad student getting my Master's in Social Work and absolutely adore animals. I’ve had many pets over the years including dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, frogs, hamsters, mice, and guinea pigs. I have a lot of experience caring for a variety of animals! My family has a rescue border collie who has severe PTSD and I worked with her on confidence training to improve her comfortability around people. I would love to meet your pet(s) and provide them with exercise, attention, love and care. I know leaving your pet at home is nerve-wracking and I can assure you that you’d feel more at ease knowing that they’re in my care. I am looking forward to hearing from you! I do have a service dog who would need to stay with me for any housesitting jobs but can stay at home for other services. Along with being extensively trained she gets along very well with other animals and is a poodle so doesn't shed!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pets in whatever way makes you and them feel the most at ease. If they have specific routines you would like me to follow, just let me know! If you have specific leash protocols on walks, I am happy to follow those! I truthfully have so much fun working on training as well, so if there is anything that I can work on with your pet to make your life easier I’m all for it! I have a service dog and have spent a considerable amount of time working with her on training and learning from professional dog trainers (:

She was responsive and the animals loved her! She took excellent care of them during my time away and was updating me at every turn. 5/5 will be using her again in the future to look after my little ones!

Kaya is fabulous!!! She is so sweet and patient with Quincy who is a very reluctant pill taker. She is always right on time and professional. We are lucky to have her.

Kaya was a great cat sitter. Spent lots of time playing with our kitten and making sure she was well cared for while we were away. Would definitely recommend her!
