Pets

Pets are furry children ❤️

Pet care experience

I view pets as your children, and think they should be treated with just as much love and care! I grew up on a farm and have 20+ years of experience taking care of a wide range of animals, from cats and dogs to cows and chickens. I’ve volunteered with Columbia Second Chance for the past 7 years as a cat caretaker. Prior to that, I lived in Chicago and worked as an Adoption Counselor at Tree House Humane Society, helping kitties find their forever homes. I’ve taken a break from Rover over the past 6 years to focus on a full-time career in Marketing. And now I’m taking a break from Marketing to focus on petsitting again! I truly get so much joy out of caring for animals, and can’t wait to meet yours.

2nd time I've asked Kayla to help with the care of my fur babes. Always reliable and Phred and Rascal love her. I live the pictures esp seeing and knowing they are doing okay. Thank you so much, Kayla! I'll be planning my next adventure with the comforting knowledge that you might be watching my 'animals'!

This is our first time to book Kayla H. for pet care. We are very pleased with her care of our 2 cats. She was excellent in keeping us apprised of how they were doing each visit and taking plenty of pictures to keep us from missing them so much! We will definitely contact her for Pet Sitter services availability in the future.

Kayla is top notch! She's so good with my dogs. She communicates well, goes above and beyond, and brings me so much peace of mind. I'm grateful I found her to help with my dogs!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
