Flexible Sitter & Avid Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Kayla! I'm 25 years old and have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I'm an eager animal lover of all shapes and sizes. I have experience in nearly all pet care-giving situations such as feeding, walking, grooming, giving medications, etc. and always aim provide a safe, yet fun environment for your animal to thrive. I'm flexible in my scheduling and want to do my best to ease any stress you may have regarding your pet, while also making sure they're cared for beyond just the basics. The quote by W.R Purche, “everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong,” holds true to me as I have a genuine love for all animals that not many are lucky enough to experience. I actually have two fur babies of my own! My cat Oliver who is turning 5 this October and my dog Fiona who we just rescued last September - she’ll be 2 this fall. Im lucky enough to live with my boyfriend who holds down the fort while I’m away! Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I ensure safety by always keeping dogs on the leash while outside and I have them under full supervision. Being that I am 5’10 and walk big dogs every day, I am confident in my ability to handle whatever shape/size/energy level is thrown my way. Thanks for the consideration, hope to hear from you soon. :)

Kayla was excellent. She provided a detailed message about how her walk went with my dog and gave her great care. I would definitely book with her again.

Kayla went above and beyond with our two 🐱 cats Both boys are elderly and fussy. Kayla gave them lots of love and care. She also was meticulous with feeding and cleaning litter and keeping up the area around their litter and surrounding areas. Greatly appreciated when returning from a trip👍🏻

To say our pets love Kayla is an understatement! Kayla cares for our furry family as if they were her own! We always come back to the happiest and most relaxed pets!

Information Kayla C. would like to know about your pet

I find that it’s important to know an animals potty schedule, walk schedule & preferred distance, their feeding schedule, and just what a typical day is for them! I aim to provide a schedule or day that mirrors closely to their norm in order to keep them calm and happy while also keeping you happy! It’s also important to know their triggers or energy level as to be prepared.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes taking at least a couple of walks a day depending on your dogs needs. I have a few parks within both walking and driving distance that I am happy to visit with your dog. I have several toys at my own apartment but am happy to play with any that you’d like to provide. My main goal is to ensure that your animal (kitty or pup) has my full attention!

Following my graduation from UMass Amherst in 2020, I was able to slowly build my clientele and eventually turned pet sitting/walking into a full-time job! My daily schedule includes drop-ins and walks when I’m not sitting which just means I have a lot more flexibility!
