Pet care experience

I will treat your dog and house like they are my own. I'm very quick at responding to customer questions or requests. I'm also open to special requests like watering plants while you're gone or waiting for packages. I don't currently have a dog of my own, the dog in my photos is my sister-in-law's dog. My dog-niece if you will. I do have two bunnies, Anderson and Stella, who live in my home office. I grew up with dogs and pet sat quite a bit in high school and college. Past clients have included Newfoundlands, a Chow, Lab mixes, and Australian Cattle Dogs. Several of my former clients were the type of dog that are often afraid of new people, but all of them took to me quickly. I love dogs but I'm not able to have one of my own in my current living situation. I also work remotely, which can get lonely at times. Pet sitting allows me to get some dog time in, earn some extra money, and provide excellent care to neighborhood dogs. Please note that I do not accept clients in Gig Harbor because of the bridge toll.

Kayla did a terrific job with our sometimes cantankerous cat. She managed to coax her out of hiding on every visit. She kept the food and water bowls well stocked. In addition to that, she brought in our mail. I highly recommend Kayla. Thanks, Kayla for a job well done.

Kayla is amazing. During Kayla’s stay dogsotting, our dog Molly suddenly needed emergency surgery. Kayla managed trips to the vet, administering medications, and even cooking special meals for Molly as if she were her own dog. I feel so lucky Kayla was there to take care of our pup!

My dog Stella is still a bit new to me, a rescue pup with a history of multiple homes and moves, and a moderate amount of anxiety. Kayla was willing to take care of Stella, work with my current training plans, and did a great job with a sweet pup who isn't the worlds easiest dog for a new person to hang out with. Stella seemed in great spirits when I got home and because we are working through her anxiety issues, I can usually tell when she's exhibiting signs of stress and she seemed totally herself and at ease upon my return, which is really fantastic for both of us! I really appreciate Kayla's efforts and time and look forward to hiring her again in the future to dog sit for Stella.

Kayla was great! Super responsive and awesome about checking in. It was my pups first time experiencing fireworks and I knew he was in great hands over the holiday. Will definitely book Kayla again!

Information Kayla H. would like to know about your pet

I like for my clients to leave me instructions detailing their expectations and their dog’s needs. Tell me all about your pup’s routines, exercise and feeding, medical requirements, allergies, anxieties, socialization, commands, favorite games, toys, and treats, plus anything else you think I should know.

A typical day

I'm able to work from anywhere with internet or cell service so I can spend the whole day at a your house if you'd like. I love going for walks even without a dog, so we would go on lots of walks around the neighborhood or maybe even to Point Defiance or other local parks if that's something the dog would be comfortable with. I also love some doggy cuddle-seshes and just hanging out together watching TV.
