Availability
While dogsitting, I stay with your pet/pets 24/7 hours a day (I bring books/crafts with me) unless I have to make a run to the store but usually have delivered. I have taken care of up to 8 pets at one time which was quite enjoyable. Pets are very diverse & I enjoy each visit. I love what I do by caring for your precious pets. When daylight first hits, I am immediately awake. If the dogs/cats are still sleeping, I will usually lay there & rest until they wake up. I bring a glass of water with me the night before to my room so I take my vitamins at 5am without disturbing them. Once they are awake, I promptly take them out for a potty break before their breakfast. I ask that the client's "complete a paper info sheet" on each animal so that I know their eating schedule, medication management (if they are taking any) so I can be prepared daily. It can be placed on the counter top. The entire day is full of fun, naps, meals, fun, and again naps. So much fun.

Safety, trust & environment
While home sitting, trust between the client & myself is important to me. I am taking care of your most treasured family member/members & it is my responsibility to provide the best of care to you as my client for your pet/pets. When the dogs are in the backyard, I always go back with them & stay to ensure they do not leave the fenced area as well as to provide recreation time. I offer a calm environment so the transition is smooth when you are away.
Information Kayla J. would like to know about your pet
Has your dogs/cats ever bit (or accidentally bit) someone before including a family member or other dogs If so, I will start off slow with my introduction to the dog/cat & slowly work on our relationship. I will handle them in a different manner to prevent that from occurring. I have only been bit once, but I did not call to report the incident as we were playing. Also, due to the 10-day isolation policy, I refused to report it. The dog was 100 lbs.+ & we were pals. It was a minor cut so everything was fine & we were playing around. Does your dog/cat take medication or have any allergies? I will be happy to accommodate. Please explain in detail about your pets condition, medication & medical condition. I have 10-years medical background so you should feel at peace.
A typical day
While home sitting, overnight stays are awesome. The first few hours at your home, only if the client is a first timer, I will let the dog/dogs/cat become adjusted to me & I do not push myself on them. I allow them to walk around their territory for a few hours & sniff my shoes/slacks & figure out I am their to be their friend. If they want to play, we play. I will start petting, massaging, playing with their favorite toy & provide an extremely active/pleasant time. The dogs/cats will feel very comfortable, loved & most important safe. If I have a grumpy dog, don't fret. By midnight, we always become BEST FRIENDS. I truly love all breeds & all personalities. If I have permission to take the dogs out of the house, I love to go for a good walk or a car-ride. We can have just as much fun playing in the backyard (if you prefer), walking around your apartment complex several times a day or a car-ride. The important thing is that you have no worries & that the dog/dogs/cats feel safe, secure & have an enjoyable time.

Provide care to your beloved “pets”
Pet care experience
Whether it be 1-dog or 6-dogs, I will sit for your “Fur Baby/Babies” 24/7 (unless errands or other needs arise) in the Central Arkansas area (from Benton, West Little Rock, Chenal, Heights, Cammack Village, North Little Rock, Sherwood, Jacksonville, Cabot … other areas can be discussed and considered.) Since my children graduated from college, (they are now in their mid-30's, out of state, in the middle of their careers and raising their family), I have pursued my undeniable love and dedication to establish a business with “Fur Baby/Babies”. I have been exposed (since childhood) being around dogs, cats and farm animals at my home and on my Uncle’s farm. In 2016, I chose Rover.Com (a dog-cat sitting brokerage company from Seattle, WA) as my referral service (I being a Self-Contractor). I felt not only did Rover.Com protect the client by conducting a thorough background check on the dog-sitter (myself), having a stellar “Customer Service Department” as well as a “Legal Department” but as a Dog-sitter”, they provide an excellent bookkeeping service and most important, a “Mediation Department” to assist when a situation arises. With over 8-years experience with Rover.Com, I have been very pleased. My business venture first began dog boarding at my home, then progressed to dog walking & as my trust with the client's increased, I began dog-sitting in client’s homes which has been a beautiful bonding experience. This gives me the ability to gain trust with the “FurBaby/Babies” and the clients but provide the animals care in their familiar atmosphere. This provides a sense of peace to the “FurBaby/Babies” owners. I conduct myself in a professional manner. I have a really good, loving relationship with the animals and the clients is one of trust. Twice a day, I will send a text to the client with updates, pictures and videos. If a need arises, I will also get in contact with the client. ***PROMOTION: If you are using ROVER.COM for the 1st time, use the code below to get $20.00 off. The code is KAYLAJ79560.

Reviews
We have used Kayla several times and have never been disappointed! She is very accommodating, communicates well, and cares so lovingly for our pets and home while we are gone. She is our go-to pet sitter and should be yours as well!
This is the second time we have used Kayla. She is very communicative and pleasant to work with, plus she obviously loves dogs and cats! They are spoiled by her while we are gone and she sends adorable photos of them as regular updates. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Kayla was amazing with our four pups! She took such amazing care of them and we could tell how well taken care of and happy they were when we got home. We are so grateful to Kayla for loving our babies so well!!!! She’s awesome!!
