Highlights
Pet care experience
Active, Reliable Dog Care
Hi! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with 2 years of experience working at a PetSmart PetsHotel, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also have veterinary technician experience (2+ years) and am comfortable administering medications. My training in animal behavior helps me recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort so I can help keep your pet safe and comfortable. As the owner of a German Shepherd mix, I’m confident handling both large and small dogs, from high-energy pups to senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. What sets me apart is my professional animal care background combined with personalized attention. I treat every pet like my own and focus on building trust, maintaining routines, and providing plenty of love, exercise, and enrichment. I’m also happy to send photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your furry family member!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We had an amazing experience Kayla during the week she spent with our dogs, Cookie and Bella. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such caring and capable hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages, gave Cookie and Bella plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and treated them like family. When we returned home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cookie and Bella!
Great job
Thank You! Ivory looks so happy!
Kayla has been great! She is very reliable, quick to respond, and takes very good care of my puppy!
Kayla has done an amazing job with regularly walking my pup, Viola. She is friendly, professional, responsive, and flexible. She has also helped me many times last minute when I needed to find someone to check in on/walk Viola. I appreciate Kayla’s detailed updates after each visit so I can track how my pup is progressing. You will not be disappointed with booking Kayla to watch after your precious fur babies!

Schedule
Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I currently work a flexible full-time job, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care schedules, including walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. During house sits, I do have a dog of my own that I care for, so I may spend the night at my home. However, I am always upfront about my schedule and ensure your pet’s routine is maintained with timely visits, walks, feedings, medications, and plenty of attention throughout the day. When I am caring for your pet, they are my top priority. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, enrichment, cuddles, medication, or simply companionship, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection. I live right off the BeltLine, which means dogs get lots of opportunities for fun walks, new sights and smells, and healthy exercise throughout their stay. With my background working at a PetSmart PetsHotel, veterinary technician experience, and training in animal behavior, I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including administering medications and recognizing signs of stress, anxiety, or illness. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a quieter environment, I adjust my care to fit their personality and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. Depending on their needs, this includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, exercise, medication administration, and lots of affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being to ensure they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and fun experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind that they are in good hands.
Pets
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I like to tailor activities to their personality, energy level, and interests. Some of my favorite activities include long walks, fetch, tug-of-war, playtime, and enrichment games that keep pets mentally stimulated and engaged. I also enjoy incorporating simple reward-based training and practicing basic commands for treats to help reinforce good habits and provide mental exercise. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to make sure your pet stays active, happy, and enriched while having a fun and positive experience.
