Pet care experience

Experienced, flexible animal lover!

Recently relocated from Tucson AZ. In Tucson, I owned my own Dog Boarding and petcare business called FurFamily Petcare for years and love animals so much! Now that I am back in my hometown in New Jersey, I am living with my parents do can’t do boarding anymore-but I am ready to put my house sitting skills to use and care for your animals at your home. I have done lots of hose sitting in other states, I frequently travel through a website called trusted house sitter, and have several reviews on that website you can view as well. I have experience with all sorts of animals, from special needs cats to pet rats, I love them all. Dogs of all sizes welcome-though I have to say that most of my clients in Tucson became senior little doggies with special needs, so that is something I’m very familiar with. Reach out with any questions and I’m so looking forward to getting to know you and your pet! LGBTQ+ friendly only please.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my home are fed separately, and only given treats/ bones under supervision because I recognize that sometimes even the most amazing gently dogs can have some food aggression/resource guarding behaviors. While I do let dogs on furniture and in my bed, I am a fan of crate training and have no problem crating your dog if needed. We are typically a calm quiet household.

Kayla made us feel so comfortable leaving our young puppy with her. We were very anxious to leave Cocoa with someone cause she was so new to our family but our plans changed last minute and we had no choice but to find a sitter. Kayla kept us informed, asked before giving her treats or taking her someplace new. She also opened her home for a meet and greet to make us more comfortable with where Cocoa would be staying. We are so thankful for Kayla and will be using her for our future pet sitting needs.

Kayla took great care of our pup! He seemed to warm up to her very quickly and she kept us updated throughout the trip. I would absolutely trust her again with our dog!

Kayla was everything I would want in my dog sitter. She responded quickly to my request and was available for a meet and greet the next day. Our pup loved her at first meeting. I felt very comfortable having Kayla drop in with our pup when we were away at work, and our pup was very content when we returned home. We will definitely have her back as a pet sitter.

I require a meet and greet before finalizing bookings to make sure your pet is comfortable and that everyone will have a good experience. I’m a (human) phlebotomist, and am comfortable with administering medications to animals.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
