Kayala's Cat Care!
Hello! My name is Kayala, and I am a college student from Somerville, Massachusetts. I have been cat sitting for the past seven years and have had cats and bunnies my entire life. I have multiple regular cat sitting clients in the Somerville, Cambridge, Boston area that I have maintained through the years. I am a friendly and trustworthy person, and I make sure to treat pets with respect and love while also taking care of all of their needs. I have a cat in Somerville named Violet, and a bunny named Loretta who stays with me in my dorm during the school year. I'm known for loving my pets more than anything, and have tattoos for both of them! They are my girls, and my most divine companions. I deeply understand the strength of the bond between you and your kitties <3. I know it can be stressful to leave your kitties in the care of a stranger, but I make sure to send photos and updates! I am also happy to meet with you in person, learn about any special care instructions and preferences, and make sure you and your kitties are comfortable. I am an excellent pet snuggler (known for making cats, dogs, goats, and pigs fall asleep in my arms!), but am also always very aware of an animal's body language. It is so important to respect their boundaries! I have experience giving oral medication, inhalers, critical care (liquid food for rabbits), and subcutaneous injections.

Safety, trust & environment
I have extensive experience with cat sitting and have been running my "business" independently for the past seven years in the Boston area. I am the sole caregiver for my bunny, Loretta, and have had bunnies and cats my entire life. When I stop by for my visits, I give attention for a minimum of 25 minutes and meet them where they are. If they want to cuddle, I am open arms! If they want to play, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. If they are scared of my new presence, I will sit thoughtfully and move at their pace to make them as comfortable as possible. I always send photos and updates to pet parents when I see their babies!
Ratings and reviews
Kayala was excellent! She went above and beyond to provide written updates and photos while she was caring for my cat and it was obvious that he loved spending time with her. I would recommend her to anybody looking for pet care!
Kayala was wonderful! She was very responsive and thoughtful, and Junie loved her immediately which never happens!
Stella was in great hands while I was away! Kayala sent daily updates and photos. Great communication before/during/after and I came home to a very happy cat!!
Kayala is an absolute dream to work with! She took such great care of our shy kitty for 10 days, and provided fun and helpful updates each day. Highly recommended!
Kayala was so great with our bengal boy! She was really in tune with the plays he needed and loved her communication.
Kayala was such a great sitter! She updated us each time and the kitties loved her!

I am in Somerville for holidays and school breaks (summer and winter), where pet care is a prioritized commitment for me. I take same day bookings, as long as I am in town!
