Pet care experience

Loving & trusted care, every visit!

I’ve been caring for pets since I was a teenager, starting with the dogs & cats, and now have experience with birds and fish. For the past six years on Rover, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and quirks, so I provide individualized care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for added peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel like family and every owner feel confident that their furry (or feathered!) loved one is in caring, capable hands. During my undergraduate years at Auburn University I worked with the Comparative Cognition group where we trained dogs to become service dogs. I also have close friends who have veterinary experience that I can call with questions if needed. First time using Rover?

I currently live in an apartment that does not allow pets so I can not offer boarding care. I have extensive experience in providing house sitting care as well as medication treatment for pets.

House Sitting • Dec 28, 2025

Kayla was able to pet sit/house sit for us for an out of town trip we planned starting the day after Christmas Day. One of our pups is a senior with some hearing and vision loss so she takes a little extra TLC.

Kayla does a great job - friendly, professional and caring! My two dogs love her. Kayla is very responsible and makes sure the dogs are well cared for.

I trust Kayla wholeheartedly to take care of my dog. Gracie is 15 so she doesn't see or hear like she used to. Kayla was respectful of Gracie's limitations. She is knowledgeable and has great communication!!! I would highly recommend hiring her.

Before we begin, I’d love to learn everything that helps your dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable! Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, potty habits, favorite activities, and any commands they know. It’s also helpful to share information about medications, allergies, fears or anxieties, triggers, how they interact with other people and animals, and anything that helps them settle in. The more I know about your dog’s personality and needs, the better I can provide personalized care and make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Please let me know if your pet has any behavioral habits such as jumping or growling towards new people. If so it may be in everyone’s best interest if we met beforehand.
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.
