Animal Lover with Experience

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a big part of my life, I grew up with countless rescue dogs and cats. I also worked at a vet clinic in animal boarding for around 7 years. I have extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I have professional experience with administering medications. I’m very observant and quick to notice any changes in your pet’s demeanor that may be an indication of a problem. Open to all ages and breeds but I do have a special place in my heart for the senior/special needs pets ❤️

Kayla was wonderful ! She was professional, timely and excellent with communication. I received many photos and texts updating me on Eddie while I was gone . I highly recommend.

Kayla was so awesome and responsive with my cat! She went above and beyond while I was out of town for 10 days. I will definitely be hiring her again next time I’m out of town!

Kayla did such a PHENOMENAL job checking in on Sadie during a recent trip. My dog clicked instantly with her and I could tell she was very comfortable with Kayla. Kayla’s drop-ins were prompt, she stayed the full time requested, and her updates and photos were so thorough and thoughtful. They were the highlight of my day while I was away from my pup! If anything she did too good of a job spoiling Sadie. Next time we need a sitter, I will definitely be reaching out to Kayla first.

Safety, trust & environment

My top priority is making sure your dog/cat is comfortable, happy, and stress free while you’re away. I’ll give them all the love (or space) they need while catering to their specific wants/needs until you return. I’ll also ensure to keep you up to date on everything and do my best to ease your anxiety with this whole process.

Information Kayla J. would like to know about your pet

Although I can read animal behavior fairly well from my experience at the vet clinic, I would like to know your pet’s personality ahead of time and if there’s any issues/quirks I should look out for (personality wise or health wise). It’s very important for me to be prepared as well as making sure we are a good fit for each other!

A typical day

I’ll stimulate your pet(s) physically and mentally. I’ll mostly work off the personality of your pet, so I’ll ask you what they like or dislike while also noting my own observations while caring for them. As I said before, their happiness is my top priority so I’m down for mostly anything!

I work full time as a paralegal during the week. But I do miss caring for fur babies, so I’m looking to get back into it during my free time on the weekends/holidays!
