Pet care experience

I’ll love your baby like my own.

I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid but I have watched other’s dogs on and off for the past 20 yrs. I love all dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked in a Veterinarian Clinic as a kennel tech/bather and in a dog daycare/boarding facility that at times could have an upwards of 100 dogs. I have some knowledge of dog health care, administering medications and tending to wounds. I am very good at reading dog body language as well. I do require some things. Your dog must be up to date on all vaccinations and I do suggest doing a meet and greet before hand. I also live in a fourplex so I can’t have dogs that bark excessively unless you have a vibrating collar of some sort that can manage it. That being said, caring for dogs is not a job to me but something I love more than anything and just an absolute privilege!

Kayla was amazing! She was so close to the freeway which made drop off easy! She sent pictures and I could tell Hondo was so cared for! She made drop off and pick up so simple. I would DEFINITELY use Kayla again and again!

Kayla was such a perfect fit for Kira! I had never left my dog with someone I didn't know and Kayla was so understanding and helpful. Kira tends to be very skittish and wary of strangers. Kayla has a calming and patient presence that I know helped our girl feel taken care of while we were gone an entire week. I will definitely be using her services again!

I’m currently working part time so I still have plenty of time to play with your pups! I also live very close to my work so I can come and let the dogs out.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a cozy 3 bedroom apartment fourplex. There’s a ton of green grassy yard to play on. I do have to keep dogs on a leash since it’s not fenced in. I also have a couple very long cable lead outs. Inside they’re more than welcome to come cuddle on the couch.

Pets

A typical day

We’ll go for walks, I have a really big nice park just down the street from me with a great walking path and tons of green grass. The Weber river parkway is very near me as well and I love to takes dogs on a walk along the river and the dogs love it as well. So many things to smell and explore as well as a little splash in the river as long as it’s ok. But it’s also nice to just have some down time cuddling on the couch and watching a movie.

It’s important for me to know ahead of time if your dog has any physical and/or behavioral special needs. Also, any medications that need to be given, any allergies and specific dietary needs.
