Pet care experience
While working my work from home desk job, going on walks, doing yard work, etc. I listen to dog behavior books/podcasts. I also watch dog videos frequently. I love learning about doggos. I’ve never not had dogs in my life. I worked as kennel staff at a vet when I was in high school. I only book one client at a time. I’m pretty accustomed to selective eaters (thanks to my Yorkie). If during flea/tick season – please make sure your pet has flea/tick treatment.
Cat care experience
Kayla also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Kayla did an amazing job taking care of our Zoey. She gave updates and sent picture's, took her on walk, brushed her and more. She made our trip better knowing that Zoey was in good hands.
I felt completely comfortable leaving my cat at home knowing that Kayla would be there every day to check on her! She is very reliable and the communication was great! I will definitely use her services again when I travel!
Kayla is absolutely amazing!!! As our Zoey has gotten older she needs so much more attention and Kayla provides that and then some. Highly recommend Kayla as a sitter!
Kayla always does such a fantastic job watching Zoey! She is so happy that when I come to pick her up, she doesn’t even want to leave.

Safety, trust & environment
My dogs are older and have great demeanors. We’re big fans of “sniffing” walks. I have a fenced in yard with a pond behind it. It’s very pretty and peaceful. Though, if during flea/tick season, we opt for the street/sidewalk around the neighborhood instead.
Information Kayla D. would like to know about your pet

A typical day
I work from home and my regular schedule is M-F 7:00am-4:00pm with an hour lunch from 11:00am-12:00pm. I have a pretty laid back schedule (barely any conference calls) along with a laid back boss (my times can be adjusted if necessary). Drop-ins/walks – I prefer to do these on my lunch (between 11-12) and/or after work (4:00pm), but if needed in the morning, this can be arranged. I’m happy to do any additional duties you need done. Daycare – I’ll let your dog outside as much as they want and have an hour lunch for walk/play. If temperatures and time allow, we’ll typically go on a walk. Boarding – I try to completely clear my schedule when I have a pup staying, meaning your dog will pretty much have constant care. If there’s a prior obligation that I can’t reschedule, I will let you know in advance. If temperatures allow, we’ll go on walks (typically 1 a day). House sitting – I currently do not have a laptop for work. Option 1: I can come on lunch (11-12) and after work (4:00pm) and stay the night until the morning (this would be 2-4 hour blocks I wouldn’t be at your home). Option 2: If you would prefer I be at your home during my work times as well, this would need to be a longer stay – I prefer to not have to move my tower and screens for just a couple days. I’m happy to do any additional duties you need done. If temperatures allow, we’ll go on walks (typically 1 a day). Though more expensive, house sitting is the least stressful option for your pet(s) – other than missing you, everything stays the same for them. ❤️

Availability
Meet and greets – I would absolutely love to do a meet and greet. If I’m coming to you (drop-ins/walks/house sitting) I want to meet you and the animal, find out where any supplies needed are located and get information/directions from you. If you’re coming to me (daycare/boarding) I want to meet you and your pet and allow you to see where your pet will be staying. As far as introducing the dogs – meet and greets don’t really give a good idea on how they will interact together. Your pet has had a car ride, new place and person (me), and a ton of new smells. My dogs will be excited for the visitors (you). With all that excitement in a short amount of time, it can be a bit much to put the dogs together and not a true reflection. However, you’re welcome to meet them so you can see their personalities. I have a slow introduction process that happens after everyone has calmed down. If your pet is being dropped off the first day during my working hours, they stay with me in my office/sunroom. My dogs will be in the rest of the house and everyone can see each other through glass sliders. Once everyone seems bored of each other, I’ll start introducing. Sometimes we’ll all go on a walk together. Sometimes I’ll take everyone outside and have some dogs on the deck with a gate (they can smell each other). Sometimes I introduce my Yorkie first, then my lab and vice versa. Personalities will decide introduction time/method. If boarding – if time allows, a trial day of daycare is a great test. My house is set up in a way that if the dogs can’t co-mingle everyone can have their own space.
