We cannot say enough good things about Kayla! She goes above and beyond in every aspect of pet sitting. Kayla is not only accommodating and trustworthy, but also shows genuine love for our boys. Every time we book her and she sends us updates, it’s clear our boys are having the best time with her! Kayla is awesome, and we feel SO fortunate to have found her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!

Kayla is amazing!!! First time leaving my cat with a sitter and I was so nervous. She isn't a fan of meeting new people but she warmed up to Kayla almost immediately! Kayla was super patient and even gave my cat some playtime during her visits. She also kept me updated with pictures and how my cat was doing overall. I'm really looking forward to booking with her again and finally happy to not be a nervous fur-mom lol. Thank you Kayla!!!

Our dogs loved having Kayla sit for them while we were out of town! She was very friendly and accommodating, and quick to respond with answers to any questions we had while we were out of town. She setup a time to meet with our dogs before we went out of town to make sure they were comfortable with her, and it worked out great! Would highly recommend and we will definitely be re-booking with her again!

We had a last minute trip and Kayla was able to meet us at short notice and help us with our three pups. She was great with them, and very patient, as they hadn't had a sitter in years and had to adjust a bit. Thank you Kayla!!

Information Kayla B. would like to know about your pet

I recommend an in home visit before becoming a new client in order to formerly introduce myself and get to know you and your fur kids! I recommend written instructions and emergency contact information for overnight pet sitting. I also recommend writing down your current veterinary information, as well as any medications your pet is on.

A typical day

I always like to make sure that your animal is getting the best care and exercise. I like to take them on long walks, play calming music for them when it's time to decompress, and play fun games with them such as fetch, find it games, and training.
