I’m currently a full-time student at New Mexico State University with a mix of online and in-person classes. This semester, I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am unavailable on Thursdays, but I’m available on Tuesdays after 12 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to pet care throughout the rest of the week. With more online classes, I have even more freedom to care for pets, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or playtime, I’m committed to providing reliable and loving care.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable by providing a clean space, regular feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I’m attentive to their needs, including grooming, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine. I also know how to calm down hyper or temperamental dogs, using patience and understanding to help them relax. I adjust playtime based on the dog’s mood, ensuring they have fun while respecting their energy levels. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment, providing fresh food, water, walks, and companionship.

Information Kayla J. would like to know about your pet

Dietary Restrictions or Preferences: Does the pet have any food allergies, preferences, or specific feeding routines (e.g., wet food only, special treats, or medications)? Exercise and Playtime: How active is the pet? Are they used to daily walks, play sessions, or more relaxed activities? Temperament: How does the pet react to new people, other pets, or unfamiliar environments? Are they shy, anxious, or friendly? Health and Medication: Does the pet have any medical needs or take medications regularly? If so, how should I administer them? Litter Box or Bathroom Routine: For cats or dogs, is there a specific bathroom routine I should follow? Any litter box preferences or particular walking routes? Emergency Contacts: Where can I reach the owner in case of an emergency? Is there a backup contact if they are unavailable? Favorite Activities: What activities or toys does the pet love? Any favorite spots to nap or play? Behavioral Issues: Does the pet have any behaviors I should be aware of, like chewing, digging, or separation anxiety? Sleeping Preferences: Where does the pet sleep (e.g., bed, crate, couch)? Do they like their own space, or prefer cuddling up with someone? Special Instructions: Anything else that’s important for me to know about their care, routine, or preferences?

A typical day

I believe every pet deserves a fun, engaging experience, so I tailor activities to their personalities and preferences. For dogs, I enjoy taking them on walks, playing fetch, and engaging in fun games like tug-of-war or hide-and-seek, depending on their energy levels and interests. For cats, I love playing with interactive toys like feathers or laser pointers and setting up cozy spaces for them to explore or nap. I also ensure plenty of cuddles or quiet time if that's what they prefer. My goal is to create a balance of exercise, play, and relaxation so that every pet has a great time!

Kayla Jones – Caring & Reliable Pet

Pet care experience

grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. My love for animals runs deep, and I tend to form strong connections with dogs of all personalities. I’ve always been committed to walking, bathing, and brushing my dogs regularly, ensuring they stay happy and healthy. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a gentle caregiver, or just some extra attention, I’ll treat them like my own. You can trust me to provide reliable and loving care for your furry family member!

Kayla was absolutely the best. She watched my dog and my house for 17 days.. She was very responsive and proved to be very responsible. She even washed the sheets, blankets and towels that she used. I will definitely hire her again!!
