Pet care experience

The best choice for you! (:

I have been caring for animals ranging from monkeys and snakes to cats and dogs for a little over eight years now. One year I worked in an exotic pet store in my hometown, and other years I worked at Hemlock Animal Hospital in Dahlonega, GA. While I am capable of doing other things, anytime your pet is in my care, they will be my primary focus. I have two babies of my own (cat & dog), and I have rescued/ rehabilitated over 100 animals in my life. I will always treat your baby as my own. Taking care of animals is something I absolutely love to do. I pride myself on knowing that I am able to and will provide a quality service that meets your specific needs.

Kayla was absolutely a lifesaver. It was my first time on the app, and handled my kitten with so much care. I could not have asked for a better sitter.

Kayla was awesome. Her and Boss connected instantly and I can tell he likes her and her pet cat lol She was very communicative and kept me in the loop with hella pictures and videos. Felt like I didn’t miss a beat of what was going on with my guy!

Kayla was absolutely wonderful! It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does, and I truly appreciated all the photos and videos of my fur baby—it meant so much. I would gladly use her services again!

Kayla loves caring for my pup and I’m pretty sure they have their own secret language. My pup loves seeing Kayla. She’s attentive to him and administers his meds and send she sends pics all the time. I trust her completely with Meko.

Schedule

I currently work from home and have no issues with animals in the background rather they are occasionally barking, playing, or just sleeping (unfortunately I cannot house any animals that consistently bark/ speak loudly). I have many breaks throughout my shift to do a quick play session, and to let the babies outside. They will always be fed before I start my shift and will have access to water and toys the entire time. I am available pretty often with prior notice! I am available for boarding during the week and weekend.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment neighborhood with lots of walking trails and huge open fields!! I also have access to huge patches of grass where I can let your baby sniff/ use the bathroom. I have one pup of my own who is extremely friendly and loves comforting/ making new friends. She may initially bark/ growl, but after a few seconds she is fine. I am able to crate any animal if necessary. It is important to me that every spacing our babies have access to is clean and has fresh water. In my space I have two big glass water bowls which are always cleaned and kept full. I am also open and comfortable to working in your space if that is what you prefer.

Pets

A typical day

I love to stimulate animals in every way. We have plenty of toys/ bones to chew and a small cat toy box which both are open to any guest fur babies. Your fur animal will get the chance to explore and smell as much as possible. I love going on walks in the neighborhood & going to the dog park.
