Safety, trust & environment

I am willing to check on your pets inside your own home, take them for walks, or even give them a fun car ride. However, I have my own dogs at home that do not get along with other dogs, so my home does not work for boarding, but I don’t mind house sitting or staying with pets for an extended period of time. I live with my partner who can stay with our dogs while I am gone!

Information Kayla K. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have a preference on breed or pet, I love all animals (yes, that includes snakes!). Please let me know any special instructions or needs, behaviors to look out for, training to keep up with, etc.

A typical day

Whatever they prefer! We can go on walks, hikes, swimming if you have a pool, car rides (I have a pet friendly SUV), go get pup cups, go to the dog park, etc. I can also take them to the vet or other appts when needed.

Pet care experience

I grew up with all sorts of animals (from domestic and exotic pets to farm animals!) back in Iowa before coming to AZ. I also used to volunteer at our local vet clinic back home, so I don’t mind the dirty work or administering meds. I am used to working with shy, difficult, and aggressive pets, as well. It’s a cliche - but I really do believe animals can tell when someone is a good person or not, and I pride myself on being a person that even anxious pets can get comfortable with. I’m ready to become your pet’s new bestie! While I understand that patience and good energy probably won’t work forever, I’m currently batting a thousand, and I’m pretty proud of that :).

Kayla and Michelle are wonderful! They worked together to watch our home and 3 fur babies for 5 nights, and we didn't worry about a thing. They were extremely friendly, kind and responsible sending updates & photos throughtout the day to remind us that our babies were being well cared for. I highly recommend them. Thanks Ladies!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kayla! She stayed overnight with our three big dogs—each with a lot of personality—and from the very start, she made everyone (humans included!) feel completely comfortable and confident. Kayla was attentive, calm, and clearly experienced with large dogs. She took the time to understand each dog’s quirks and needs, and it showed in how relaxed and happy they were while we were away. The many photos and updates she shared were incredibly reassuring and truly let us enjoy our time knowing our dogs were in great hands. We came home to three very content pups and a house just as we left it. Kayla went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!

Kayla is fantastic. My dogs love her! She has two adorable dogs of her own and I always feel like she cares for my dogs as if they were hers.

Kayla is 100% the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. I recently went out of the country and she watched my two dog-babes for a 5 day overnight stay. The longest I’ve ever been gone is 2 days. She sent me photos and videos and kept me up to date. I trust her completely. Having her watch my dogs made my trip so much better because I didn’t worry about them. All the videos showed them having the best time. When I got home, my dogs were excited to see me and they probably already miss Kayla. One of my dogs requires daily eye meds and recently had surgery. He’s a bit older and likes comfort. My younger dog has a ton of energy and wants to play all of the time. She knew their personalities immediately and I could tell they got equal care… enjoying their time with her. I would absolutely recommend Kayla to watch your fur-babes.
