I’m available for walks and drop-in visits after 4:30 PM Monday through Thursday, after 1:00 PM on Fridays, and anytime on weekends. While I’m unable to board pets in my home due to having two dogs and a cat of my own, I’m more than happy to provide in-home care for your pet, including walks, feedings, drop-ins, and plenty of attention, playtime, and tail-wagging fun.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always take the time to learn as much as possible about each pet’s routine, behaviors, and any triggers they may have, because clear communication leads to the safest and most successful visits. I have an extremely reactive rescue dog at home, so I’m very comfortable handling pets who need extra care, patience, and awareness. On walks and during visits, I prioritize maintaining safe distances from other people and animals, avoid dog parks and crowded areas, and closely monitor your pet’s comfort level at all times to ensure a calm and secure experience.

Information Kayla H. would like to know about your pet

I love any and all dogs! Some things I'd like to know for the best care is: -How are they with other dogs/people? -Do they have any allergies or diet restrictions? -Any health issues I should know about? -How are they riding in a car? -Are there restrictions on where they can & can't go in your home/yard? -Do they have a feeding schedule and if so, what time(s)?

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level, including walks, playtime, enrichment games, basic training reinforcement, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet loves to stay active or prefers calm cuddle time, I make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs & cats practically my entire life. I am a HUGE animal lover and everyone calls me the "animal whisperer" because I can calm even the most rambunctious dogs or skittish kitties. I have had a total of 8 dogs and 3 cats in my life and apart from caring for them , I have also cared for several friends, neighbors and families pets. I won't turn down a single furry face!

Kayla watched my two cats for about a week. She is very sweet, attentive to detail, and understands the need for fresh filtered water in a clean bowl without any judgement! She clearly understands cats and cat-owners/parents! We had an appointment to go over everything and was on-time, took notes, and carried everything out to the letter. She kept me updated while I was away. I happen to love dogs as well and we talked about dogs and our experiences caring for them. I don't have dogs now, but absolutely know she would care for dogs as well as she cared for my cats. She was really great, I would 100% ask her to come back, and would recommend her as a sitter to anyone with cats or dogs.

Kayla is the most dependable & dog loving young woman I have ever known. All animals react to her in a positive way & she would be the best person to take care of your pet needs. She is conscientious , honest & always keeps a commitment. Once you meet Kayla you will understand why I have nothing but good things to say about her.
