Dog trainer/ flexible & reliable!

Pet care experience

I have my bachelor’s degree in Zoology from The Ohio State University. Currently, I am a professional dog trainer looking to relax and have some fun with pups in my time off. In addition to training dogs, I have worked with a variety of animals including: seals, big cats, reptiles, dolphins and foxes. I have experience in record keeping, husbandry, enrichment, training, and administering medication (oral and injections). At home I have a 1 year old Shepard mix named Kona who loves to go hiking with me and loves to play with other dog friends (large and small). I can assure you that your pups will not only be safe with me but will also be loved like one of my own. I am friendly, reliable and most of all flexible because well, life happens! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you would like to do a meet and great prior to scheduling a service!

Kayla is fantastic. She was our trainer for the Good Citizenship certification. She is patient and caring. She truly loves being with animals. I trust her completely with my dog. Lucy just loves her to pieces. I have also seen Kayla interact with other dogs through training and she is wonderful with them. I highly recommend Kayla for Rover. I think she would be a great asset to your company.

Kayla has known us and our puppy for the past 10 months. In that time, we’ve taken puppy & adult dog obedience classes with her, and are looking forward to more on our hopeful trajectory to AKC’s Canine Good Citizen certification. What sets Kayla apart is her complete dedication to the canine/human bond and her earnest enthusiasm to improve all dimensions of that relationship. She remains a trusted mentor in all things canine and has advised us on behavior, fitness, diet & health. I can think of no one I would trust more with our dog than Kayla - any dog would be lucky to receive her care and any owner would be extremely fortunate to entrust their dog to such qualified hands. She will provide your beloved pet much more than fresh-air and exercise.

I cannot say enough positive things about Kayla. Not only does she have so many years of experience with dogs but with other animals as well. My little guy Ryu is a Shiba Inu and has been seeing Kayla since he was only 3 months old; now he is 1! He just absolutely loves Kayla, and so don't we! She is so knowledgeable and so caring as we did have some stubborn puppy trouble with Ryu and Kayla had provided us support and help to get us through it. Thank you for giving our little guy such a positive experience. Please don't hesitate, I highly reccomend Kayla!

We have known Kayla for almost a year. Our puppy took three six week training courses with her and other puppies. The connection she has with dogs is incredible. They are always excited to see her, they intensely listen to her and she believes in using only positive training. Kayla is a very loving, kind, and trustworthy person. She is easy to talk to and love. We would leave our dog with Kayla anytime for dog walking and/or dog sitting.
