Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I treat them like family. I follow any instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, walk times, and special needs. I make sure pets feel safe and loved by keeping their routine consistent, giving them lots of attention, and respecting their space. I also keep the home clean and tidy, just as I would want someone to do in mine.

Information Kayla D. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. I like to ask about things like: • Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions • Medical conditions or medications • How they do on walks or around other animals • Any fears or behaviors to watch for (like separation anxiety or chewing) • Favorite toys, treats, and activities The more I know, the better I can make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and active in safe ways! Since I live in the desert where it can get up to 110 degrees, I make sure outdoor time is limited to early mornings or evenings when it’s cooler. During the heat of the day, I focus on fun indoor activities like tug-of-war, puzzle toys, training games, and lots of belly rubs or cuddle time. If the dog enjoys water, I can also set up kiddie pools or water play in shaded areas. I always prioritize safety and hydration while still making sure pets feel engaged and loved.

Pet care experience

I have hands-on experience caring for three high-maintenance, large-breed dogs—including walking, bathing, feeding, and handling their unique needs. I understand how much care and patience big dogs require, and I’m confident in managing strong, energetic pups with love and consistency.

Kayla did such a great job with our latest addition- a rescued Cane Corso. Big breeds can be intimidating to some, but she is confident, knowledgeable and a great communicator and we felt at ease.

Kayla was absolutely wonderful! She was patient and attentive with our pups. They warmed up to her immediately. Definitely will be booking with her in the future.
