Safety, trust & environment

I stick to your fur buds daily routine as much as possible to make sure their safe and comfortable while I'm there. I'm in their space so it's super important to me that they feel at ease while having fun!

Information Kayla H. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know how they are with first interactions with people so I can prepare myself on how to approach them. To let me know if they have any allergies or preference to certain treats as I may bring them with me. Thank you!

A typical day

The most important thing for me and your fur bud is to keep up with their routine (if they have one) to help them feel more comfortable with me being in their space. We should both have respect and trust. So that means that I'll do everything I can to make sure your fur buds needs are met! Whether your bud needs a full day of physical and mental stimulation by spending our days outdoors and playing games or if you have a senior bud who needs short walks throughout the day. I'd be so happy to discuss everything once we meet!

Stay-cation for your fur bud 💚

Pet care experience

Pets are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. I would agree with this quote only because I have always wanted to surround myself with animals. I've always grown up with fur buds but my previous work experience includes working in a Pet store where I was able to learn about pet nutrition etc. Then I worked at a few different doggie daycares, indoor and one completely outdoors! I learned so much from both daycares including supervising and bonding with each dog, learning their behaviours and who they were best suited with which in turn helped me learn more about certain breeds as well! I also learned some basic training tips and how to properly maintain an intense situation and how to aid to dogs and cats with my Pet First Aid Certification through Dog Safe. My main goal is to make your fur babies feel right at home on a vacation! Make them feel as comfortable as I can with bringing as much fun and excitement into our time spent together! I love to take the dogs on our daily walks to see them interact with other fur buds and to see how much they're enjoying themselves. I hope to meet and create a bond with your fur babies and furever be best buds!

Always so fun seeing all the pictures and videos Kayla takes of Nora while she's here. Kayla is very responsible and stays in touch the whole stay. Nora just loves her.

Our big guy always has the best time with Kayla when she stays over! Lots of pupdates and great communication. House is always just as we left it.
