My flexible schedule ensures that your pets get the care they need, when they need it.

House Sitting: When house sitting, I ensure your pets are comfortable and relaxed in their own environment. I stick to their routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I keep a close eye on their health and well-being, providing plenty of love and attention. I also maintain your home by bringing in the mail, watering plants, and keeping everything tidy, so you can return to a clean and well-cared-for space. Drop-In Visits: During drop-in visits, I make sure your pets are happy and content while you’re away. I check in on them at the agreed times, providing fresh food and water, a potty break, and a bit of playtime or cuddling. I also ensure that everything in the house is as it should be, giving you peace of mind. Dog Walking: For dog walking, I focus on giving your dog a fun and safe experience. I stick to their usual route or explore new ones if that’s what they enjoy. I’m attentive to their behavior, ensuring they get the exercise they need while keeping them safe from traffic and other potential hazards.

Animal Lover w/ IVDD Experience
Pet care experience
Pet Care Experience I grew up on a ranch and have been surrounded by animals my entire life—dogs, cats, livestock, and everything in between. I have extensive experience with both indoor and outdoor pets, and I’m especially comfortable caring for dogs with special needs. My own dog has paralysis, so I’m familiar with bladder expression, administering medications, and providing extra love and support when it’s needed most. I’ve also taken animal science courses related to pet care, including cats. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer stay, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What Sets Me Apart I bring a calm, reliable presence and a deep understanding of animal behavior thanks to a lifetime of hands-on experience. I’m confident handling senior pets, dogs with medical needs, and active pups who just need a little extra playtime and love. I’m also happy to follow detailed care instructions and routines. Pet parents trust me to not only meet their pets’ needs but to go the extra mile—whether that’s daily updates, customized walks, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.

Reviews
Kayla was the greatest in house sitting my two dogs! She sent several pics and updates throughout the day and I could tell my dogs were relaxed with her and enjoying the attention and care. Will absolutely rebook for future pet sitting needs!
Ginger loves Kayla ❤️
Kayla cared for my girl Ginger overnight and provided all the love and attention Ginger would normally have with us. I trusted Kayla completely in my home and would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.
Kayla was outstanding- very communicative and responsive! Felt completely at ease leaving our fur baby in her care!
