Rescue Specialist, Dog & Cat Mom

Growing up my family has always had pets, I am able to take care of multiple animals at a time. I have a flexible schedule, with 3 years of professional pet sitting experience as well as working as a kennel lead at a dog daycare/boarding facility & a Rescue Specialist.

Kayla is super friendly and professional! She has a real love for dogs and plenty of experience handling multiple dogs and those with high energy/specific behavioral needs. She takes her time on her visits and provides the best photo updates. I don’t have to worry about my pups at all when they are in her care. Our new go-to sitter!

Kayla did a really great job watching our 3 pets! She sent me videos and pictures of them, they were very well taken care of, and she kept me updated! This was my first time leaving my pets with someone, and she took very great care of them, I didn’t even have to worry at all! My puppies birthday was on a day she was watching them and Kayla got her a gift! It was sooo sweet of her! I definitely recommend Kayla! Thank you!

Kayla is a very kind person who obviously loves animals, she kept me informed about my dogs and sent photos so I could relax and not worry about my dogs while I was away. I would definitely use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

Along with letting dogs outside for potty breaks and play time, I also can pick up dog poop upon request. Typically if I care for your animals for more than a few days, I will ask you what day your trash is collected and put it outside. I can also collect mail from mailboxes so it doesn’t pile up, clean floors that have pet hair, wash food and water bowls and can wash bedding if I need to stay the night. When I leave my house my older dog is left to roam while my younger dog enjoys her cage. Animals fed and watered twice a day and dogs let out every 4-6 hours if I’m home, typically no more than an 8 hour work day if I am not. Kitty litter is scooped and then changed once a week.

Information Kayla D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any special needs or behaviors to be aware of. If they need to be administered any medication. Also mention what their favorite toy and treats are.

A typical day

Animals need exercise just like we do! Playing games that can stimulate the mind and physical exercise to tucker them out. If you do not have a yard, I can head to a nearby dog park.
