A Caring Presence for Your Pets 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Kayla! Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work with a veterinary hospital as a recruiter, so I’m surrounded by veterinary professionals every day and have a strong understanding of pet health, behavior, and care. Before that, I spent a year working at an AZA-accredited zoo, where I was trained to handle & show a wide variety of animals—so I’m comfortable with more than just cats and dogs! I’ve personally owned dogs, cats, iguanas, and bearded dragons, and I’m happy to care for all kinds of pets—whether that’s your energetic pup, your shy cat, or even fish, reptiles, or other unique companions. I offer drop-ins and walks, and my goal is always to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether they need playtime, long walks, or just a calm, cozy presence, I adjust to what makes them happiest. ✨ What you can expect from me: • Lots of love, patience, and attention • Reliable, communicative care with regular updates & photos • Comfort with a wide range of animals and personalities • Respectful, clean care in your home I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your pets—I’ll make sure you do. I’d love to meet you and your animals! 🐶🐱🦎🐰🐍🐟
