Passionate Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have been around animals since I was a little girl. My dad bread cocker spaniels and our Molly had many litters. I loved caring for all the puppies until they were ready to go to their new families. Animals, especially dogs, were always been a huge part of my childhood and that has continued into my adulthood. I have two amazing female pups of my own that are both 5 years old. I got both of them when they were 5 weeks old and they are my entire world. My life revolves around those two girls. They are the absolute best part of my day and it makes me so happy when I see them wiggling their little buts in excitement when they see me. I am very active with them. We go on walks or to the park almost every day. They are very friendly and my bulldog/lab also likes to play with other dogs. I started pet sitting in business for myself beginning in January of 2017, but I have been caring for animals and sitting for friends and relatives long before this time. I truly love it!!! I love animals in general and it really brings joy to my day to be able to take care of animals and make them comfortable and happy, while their owners are away. It also feels great to be able to help bring comfort to a pet owner who may be traveling out of town and cannot take their pets with them or who may be running behind from a delayed flight or a meeting that ran late and they need me to swing by the house and take care of their fur baby for them. I am very comfortable with all sizes of pets and all breeds, with no restrictions. I have no problem putting in the time and effort to get accustomed and comfortable with a pet or pets who may be protective of their territory, a little aggressive or just not too sure about new people at first. I specialize in drop in visits at your home and overnight stays in your home, but am able to provide other services as outlined in my profile. I am such an advocate though of caring for a pet in their own home as their own home is where the pet is the most comfortable and will experience the least anxiety and stress when a pet owner or owners is/are away for a time period. I offer a free meet and greet consultation session for 30 minutes to 1 hour, to get to know not only your pet, but your pets family! My goal is to make every pet and pet owner I meet, not only lifelong clients but also friends. I hope you will choose me for your next service!

This review is sadly long overdue... Kayla is amazing! I was desperate to find a sitter for my 4 cats at the last minute and I am so glad I found Kayla! As soon as I began chatting with her, I knew she had a passion for animals. She stopped by my house twice a day to feed them and clean out their litter boxes. She brought in our mail and cleaned up the cat bowls before she left. She texted me when she arrived and when she left and sent pictures of my little demons. I trust her with my kiddos and with my home. You will not be disappointed with her service!

Kayla J. Has been pet and house sitting for me for over 3 years. She is exceptional. I have 4 dogs. Two mini dashaund, one boxer hound mix and one great pyrenees. They love her and she loves them. One of my dashaunds has medical problems and needs constant supervision. Kayla is great with her. Kayla walks the dogs and cares for them as if they were her own. I tried other sitters before I found her . They just did not measure up. She is fabulous. Deborah Ray

Kayla has been so amazing with my dogs! I am so glad we found her. I have a one year old lab mix girl pup that is extremely hyper and a 5 year old boy rescue dog who is part mastiff. My boy is a little bit aggressive around other dogs and humans he doesn’t know, but he attached himself to Kayla from the minute he met her. Now, he even whines for her when she comes by the house and he peeps out the window and sees her car. She has really been a life saver for me. I have used her for in home services when I’m out of town and also for drop in visits. She is very trustworthy, dependable, she communicates well with me, and she even sends me updates and pictures via email and text to keep me up to date on anything involving my pets. When she stays in our home, everything is always in its rightful place and she’s leaves my house cleaner than I leave it. I literally can call her up sometimes when I’m running behind from work or an event and she will go out of her way to go over to our home and take care of the evening routine for us to help us out. She often times even stays longer than she has to during those 30 minute drop in visits. I have 100% trust and faith in her and there is no one else I will ever use to watch my pets. If she ever retires from pet sitting, I can tell you my family, as well as our pups, will be truly devastated. I’ve literally watched Kayla get into the floor and play around with my dogs before. They love her so much and she brings them so much joy while we are away. We knew we found a right person the moment she introduced herself at the free consultation/meet and greet she held with us. She really cares about taking care of our pets, communicating well and insuring that the pet owner has full confidence in her. My family and I feel so much more secure knowing we have Kayla to depend on for our pet care needs.

Kayla is awesome! I have pets that get very anxious when my husband and I leave. Kayla was the right girl for the job! I could tell our pets were emotionally and physically cared for while we were away. Kayla left our home cleaner than when we left as well. I will be using her for all my pet sitting.

Information Kayla J. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I would like to know about the dogs personality, what they eat, how well they play with other animals, if they have any allergies, what time they eat, what time they normally go out to potty, how often they exercise, what toys/games/places they like to play with/play/go, etc.

A typical day

When I am taking care of any pet, I will provide a lot of attention and love to the animal. I also send pictures and videos to the owners, regardless of the type of service it is. Usually during drop in visits, I will let the owner know when I arrived and when I am leaving via text message. During dog walking visits, I love to take them to local parks where there are sidewalks and walkways for safety, if there are no safe walkways in the area where the pet lives.
