Dog Loving Cat Dad w/ time to spare
Pet care experience
I’m a professional that works with kids and has always loved dogs. From labs, cocker spaniels, beagles, to mastiffs, I’ve had many furry friends in my lifetime! Currently I have two cats and that is great for my work/life balance, but I am missing the love and joy I get interacting with pups. I’d love to help take care of/walk some doggies throughout the weeks :)
Reviews
Kayla did an incredible job with my husky who can be a handful! Followed my exact instructions and updated me periodically. Would highly recommend Kayla!
Kayla A. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Kayla is the absolute best. My pup is very shy and can be a handful, Kayla has been so patient working him and is always making our lives better. She goes out of her way to be thoughtful and caring. I couldn’t be happier having her around.
Kayla has taken care of my dog on several occasions now, and they have become best friends! Kayla is responsible and trustworthy, and takes a lot of care to make sure she understands your dog’s personality and needs. I always feel my dog is safe and, just as important, happy, when she gets to hang out with Kayla. I’m so glad we found her and look forward to more time together!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a secure luxury apartment building that is in a very walkable area with a couple parks close by. I also enjoy some easy/moderate hikes with a pup companion!
Information Kayla A. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know if your animal takes any medications, has any atypical behaviors that you do/do not tolerate (I.e. if they tend to chew at their paw pads and you don’t want them to), how they are with strangers/children/other dogs/squirrels on walks, if they are sensitive/have any triggers to anything (I.e. they get startled by loud noises like trucks or busses on walks), or literally anything else you feel is important for me to know about your lil loved one!
A typical day
I love to make sure all the animals I watch or interact with get to know me and trust me so that we can make the most of our time together! This looks different based on each individual animal and their personalities, but can include lots of cuddle/petting time, mental stimulation with games/enrichment toys, practicing their tricks, walks, off-leash play time in designated areas, photo shoots, hikes, car rides, and more!
