Extensive Animal Experience
Pet care experience
I just moved back to Fort Collins for a new job as a wildlife biologist! I work from home Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I go into the office in Boulder on Mondays and Thursdays. I recently finished my masters program and have one cat of my own. I have extensive experience pet sitting and interacting with dogs, cats, and other small pocket pets. I have experience working at animal shelters as an animal care technician, doggy daycare, and at non-profits fostering animals. From 2007 to 2010 I ran a small pet sitting business for all types of creatures. I have volunteered for dog rescues (Nike Animal Rescue Foundation and All Aboard Animal Rescue) 2007 to 2014 and have fostered rescue dogs for 3 years. While fostering, I helped the dogs learn appropriate home behaviors and helped in building confidence before they went to their new homes. In addition, I have extensive experience administering medication and reading and responding to dog behavior appropriately from working full-time at a doggy daycare for 2 years. I have always had a dog in the house since I was born so I have been raised in a home that taught me to respect every animal. I’ve had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits.
Reviews
Kayla did a great job taking care of my kitties! Even my two timid kitties came out! She was very thorough with her reports and sent great pictures. I won’t hesitate to hire Kayla again. Thanks Kayla!
Kayla was a great house/pet sitter. Her communication both before and during our trip was top notch! Would not hesitate to recommend her.
Very accommodating and great communication!
First time using Kayla and she was amazing! Super proactive about meeting our dogs prior to her stay, very communicative while we were away, asked when we were going to be home to ensure she wasn’t leaving them alone too long and left the house better than she found it. We experienced some weather while we were out of town and she shoveled to make sure they could get out easily. Us and our dogs loved her and will definitely be a repeat customer :)
