Pet care experience

Licensed Vet Technician!

Hi! I’m an experienced, reliable animal lover with 11 years of hands-on experience working with pets in a variety of settings. I’m a licensed veterinary technician, so I’m very comfortable administering medications, injections, and special medical care, including senior pets and those with health needs. I’ve worked in doggy daycares, walking services, grooming environments, training facilities, and veterinary clinics, giving me a well-rounded understanding of animal behavior, safety, and individualized care. I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. I’m extremely upbeat, patient, and detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, you’ll always receive updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, medical support, or just extra love and snuggles, I’m happy to provide care tailored to their unique needs. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is the most important thing next to happiness! I always triple check gates/doors/leashes/collars to ensure that nothing will happen to a family member! Understanding that when family isn’t home is one of the times a dog may try to sneak out looking for them is so important, so extra care must always be taken.

Kayla stayed overnight and watched our three babies (including one hyper puppy) and took great care of them and the house. She communicated well, sent many pictures, and kept us up to date with everything going on. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter for their babies!

Kayla was awesome! She sent photos and texts at each visit, and she was very timely in her visits, and even said what time she would be arriving visit get up and get it. Will definitely hire her again!

Brego LOVES Kayla! This is really something, as he is super reserved around all humans, so we have limited options for his care when we are away. Kayla is very responsible and committed to making sure our boy is happy and comfy in our absence. And her experience as a vet tech gives us great peace of mind. We are so glad to have found Kayla; she is a perfect match to care for our guy when we can't be home.

We've never left our boy Brego "home alone" for so long. He has some anxiety issues that have resulted in him not being comfortable in a boarding situation. So, when we go away from home for periods of time, we board our other dog and leave Brego in his comfort space with his good friend Kayla. This trip had us leave the house on Thursday morning and return Monday evening. During that time Brego was by himself during the day (although he has safe, secure indoor/outdoor access) and Kayla stayed with him overnight. She sent us frequent updates, and apparently he was much more interested in playing and hanging out with her than he ever is with us! Kayla took good care of our buddy and also brought in our mail, watered our patio veggies, and left our home exactly as she found it. We trust her completely with our boy Brego and with our home, and we feel extra peace of mind knowing that she has a veterinary background, just in case. Kayla has given us the confidence to once again take trips away from home without constant worry about Brego. Thank you Kayla and Rover!

I love every and all breeds. I would like to know how your dog interacts with people they have not met, if they get along well with other dogs, and are protective of any type of toys or food. The reason for this is to make our time spent together a great one and to prevent any issues!
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.
