Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my routine alongside my full-time teaching position. During the week, I’m happy to provide care before and after school hours, as well as evenings, and I’m very organized about planning ahead to ensure pets receive consistent attention and care. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate extended time to walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I enjoy working pet care into my schedule and am committed to being reliable and flexible for pet families.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes through drop-in visits and walks. During each visit, I follow the pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also make sure to respect my clients’ homes, keep spaces clean, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and informed while they’re away.
Information Kayla M. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or medications. I also like to learn about their temperament, energy level, likes and dislikes, and how they interact with new people. Knowing leash behavior, triggers, or fears helps me keep walks safe and stress-free. For cats and other pets, I ask about litter habits, hiding spots, and preferred interaction. This information allows me to provide consistent, personalized care and ensures each pet feels comfortable and secure.
A typical day
I like to keep pets engaged with activities that match their energy level and personality. This can include walks at their pace, interactive play like fetch or tug, enrichment games, and extra cuddle or calm time for pets who prefer a slower pace. I also enjoy incorporating mental stimulation, such as basic training reinforcement, puzzle toys (if provided), and sensory exploration during walks. Most importantly, I focus on making each visit enjoyable and stress-free so pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for.

Pet care experience
I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets and understand the extra patience, attention, and care they need, including administering medications, supporting mobility, and keeping them comfortable in their routines. My long-term experience allows me to quickly adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.Some about me: I own a chocolate lab, a black cat and an orange tabby cat. They are the absolute best! When I am not caring for others fur babies, I love to be home cuddling up next to mine💗

Reviews
We love Kayla and appreciate her so much! Our cat hates when we leave but Kayla is so attentive, sweet and caring. 🩷 I really appreciate her being so communicative as well.
Kayla was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was fabulous. The daily pictures made myself and my family so happy. She’s reliable and so nice. She even went out of her way to take our trash cans down when she noticed it was trash day in the neighborhood. I felt completely at ease with her taking care of our babies. Thank you so much!
Kayla is amazing! We were out of country for two weeks and she took wonderful care of our cat. She is always communicative, thoughtful and cares for our Rex so well. I always know our pets are in good hands with Kayla. ❤️
As always, Kayla is a staple to our household when I'm having a health crisis and unable to walk my Mitski. My baby loved her walks and Kayla knows and appreciates her personality so much. We will continue to book with Kayla! Thank you as always!!
