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 is wonderful. She cared for our pets just as we would and even went above and beyond in ways she wasn’t asked. I highly recommend her for all your furry friend needs!

Kayla was a pleasure to work with. She was a good communicator and was timely with her visits as we discussed during her meet and greet. My kitties warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed her company. I would definitely rebook in the future.

Kayla was great! She was reliable and knowledgable about pets. I received photos of my dog when she was visiting and my dog was happy. I would definitely use Kayla again.

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.
