Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced animal care
Growing up, we always had two German shepherds so we had two sets of German shepherds at different periods of time. They were great dogs and they required a lot of activity and later on had health issues which required attention. Previously I’ve had an English bulldog which he did have some behavioral and medical issues that I was able to navigate. My mother and my sister’s have a passion of rescuing dogs so in total they have seven dogs. I’m very comfortable with working with animals, especially dogs and cats. I’m willing to work with a dog that might be more temperamental. I also often pet sit for my two friends cats when they are on vacation and have dog sat friends dogs on several occasions.

Safety, trust & environment
I am very diligent about pet care, I’ve had my cat for over 10 years now and I have done any and everything I can to ensure she’s healthy and happy and taking care of in any way that she can. Also, I am a licensed social worker and I work for New York City, so I also have a lot of experience in working with people. I’ve also taken a masters level course on the impact of animals on emotional and mental well-being. I have advocated for and written letters for people who need emotional support animals in a professional setting.
Ratings and reviews
Kayla took care of my cat Truffle for 27 days and I honestly feel so lucky we found her. That’s a long time to trust someone with your baby, and she handled everything so thoughtfully and consistently. Even during the terrible snow weather, she still showed up and made sure Truffle was safe, fed, and comfortable. She kept everything tidy, which I truly appreciated coming home to. The daily photos and videos were always super clear and reassuring. Overall, Kayla was very reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring!! I’d absolutely trust her with Truffle again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.
Kayla is a fantastic cat sitter! She followed all of my instructions and went above and beyond, sending me lots of photos during her visit. It was wonderful to see my cat, who is usually shy, playing with her.
Thanks to Kayla for taking such great care of our cat Nikita. We strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. She was always in contact with us and shared a lot of pictures and videos. Always on time and communicative when necessary. We will use your service for the future. :)
Kayla is a great sitter! Very trustworthy and reliable and truly cares for your pets. I entrust her with watching my dog McLovin and she takes such good care of him.
