About Kayala N.
Communication
Dog skills
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!
Information Kayala N. would like to know about your pet
I am very comfortable reading animal body language, but please feel free to let me know if your pet has any behaviors to watch out for. You know them best!
A typical day
I love to play with energetic kitties, cuddle with cozy ones, and can watch birds from the windowsill with the best bird-watchers in the biz!

Kayala's Cat Care!
Pet care experience
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.

Reviews

Kayala is excellent! She is professional, communicative, and kind. We have had her take care of our sweet cat several times and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.
Kayala clearly loves cats and the cats respond to her care.

Kayala was truly wonderful; this was the first time I had spent more than a day or two from my (scaredy) cat, and having Kayala come and take care of her gave me huge peace of mind. Kayala is highly responsive, compassionate, and was a true joy to work with. Could not recommend her more highly.


Kayala was great with my two shy cats! They warmed up to her very quickly. She was communicative and responsive with short notice of my trip. Would definitely book her again!
