I'm currently a sophomore in college on summer break and not working elsewhere. I am mostly available for the summer, however, I do plan on taking personal vacations here and there so I may be wary about longer stays. Regardless, I will try my best to work with your schedules so I can care for your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for dogs, I like to keep them within sight to make sure they stay safe and out of trouble. I also pay close attention to specific behavior, like standing by the door or near their food bowl, so I can respond promptly to their needs. With cats, I respect their independent nature, allowing them the space to do their own thing while making sure they always have fresh food, clean water, and a tidy litter box.

Information Kayla J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet(s) is typically very energetic or has a specific type of personality so I know how to interact with them appropriately.

A typical day

When caring for pets, I make it a priority to tune into their individual needs and personalities. If a pet seems full of energy, I’ll engage them in safe, interactive play. I aim to keep them both physically active and mentally stimulated, while always ensuring their safety and comfort.

Pet care experience

I've been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for pets since I was a child. I have experience walking and feeding dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I truly enjoy the energy and companionship they bring. I’m also comfortable with the essentials of playtime, cleanup, and making sure your pup feels happy and loved while you're away. In addition to dogs, I’ve cared for cats for years and currently share my home with two playful brothers, Toby and KitKat, who are 6 years old. Whether it’s a fun walk or quiet cuddle time, I treat every pet like family.
