I have two degrees in biology and psychology, as well as certifications for fear free animal handling and positive reinforcment animal training. I currently am a certified behaviorist and work full time with behavior modification, reactive pets, and petsitting which allows me to have a completely open schedule for your needs!

Drop-In Visits • Sep 27, 2026

Kayla was a lifesaver for us. We were out of town and had placed our 100 pound Labrador, Henry, with someone while we were gone. Henry was really not happy, showing signs of anxiety. Kayla picked Henry up, brought him to our home and did 3x a day visits for the remainder of the week. He settled down as soon as she took over and when we got home he was happy & healthy. Kayla stepped in and went above and beyond to make sure Henry was in a good place mentally and physically. It took a lot of pressure off me to not continue to worry about him. Thank you, Kayla!

Wonderful and very communicative sitter! Kayla took excellent care of my pup and two cats and was very cooperative when I asked to extend the stay a bit longer after my flight was delayed. Highly recommend! :)

Safety, trust & environment

I always treat my clients and their fur-kids the way I would want my pups to be treated. I spend all of my free time with them to give them the best attention and care while their family is away. I send daily pictures and updates as well!

Pets

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.

Kayla can host up to 2 pets per night
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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
