Pet care experience

Experienced & Loving Pet Care!

I’ve been a pet owner for over 10 years and have been caring for pets through Rover for 3 years! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and personalities, including puppies and senior pets. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and ear drops when needed. I took some time away from Rover as I got married and settled into married life, but I’m excited to be back! I’m no longer in school, so I now have a consistent schedule for walks and drop in visits. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾

Kayla was wonderful! Our dog, Shaq, was very well cared for and she left our house spotless! Kayla sent us daily morning check-ins with pictures and asked any questions she had. Highly recommended!
