Pet care experience
Hi Fur parents! Here’s a gist of my experience my journey 12 years ago when I started dog walking for income. I then began studying dog behavior in high school. I went into the animal career field for college and studied to be a veterinarian nurse. I worked for dog day cares, had daycare in my own home, and animal hospitals. When I changed my major to clinical psychology I still wanted to include my other passion in my life even though I wasn’t going to continue with the vet program. I still wanted to use my knowledge and love for those little paws! So here I am, My family and I work as a team we love getting the chance to provide care for our clients. This is a great option if you prefer your dog in the comfort of someone’s home for less anxiety. From my profile you can be assured I LOVE long walks with dogs and having your pups in my home. I am a dog mom to a beautiful and goofy boy Furby he’s a Pekingese and he’s 8 years old. I have a great amount of background knowledge medically, behavioral education from working at dog day cares, and experience from amazing clients over the years. Our clients are family, they will be treated as family as well. I hope you have a wonderful day thanks for checking out my profile!
Reviews
Kayla is the best!! I highly recommend her without hesitation. She can be called the Dog whisperer. She was meant to do this. Sorry to all those pets out there that won’t get to meet her.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kyla!! We recently used her services for our two Australian cattle dogs who are all about play play play and she was fantastic!!! She was very flexible on what time I dropped them off and when I did she was very welcoming and answered all my questions to help put my mind at ease. I could tell she was going to be great with our dogs!! She sent many pictures, videos and text messages everyday!! Great great great communication!! I would use Kayla in the future for sure because my dogs were so well taken care of and loved!! Thank you Kayla!!
Kayla was absolutely wonderful! She took very good care of both our pups one with some special needs (on medication) and the other a senior. She sent cute pictures and videos everyday that I was able to share with my family as we were gone for about 10 days. She was quick to reach out with any concerns about them so we could talk through it. I think they truly also enjoyed hanging with Kayla and her family! I would definitely recommend her a 100% to anyone I know and bring them back to her in the future. Thank you Kayla!
Kayla is a phenomenal dog sitter! My Beagle Ella was happy, healthy, and in high spirits when I picked her up. Kayla gave her excellent individualized attention, lots of play, and plenty of exercise. I enjoyed the many pictures and updates that I got throughout Ella's stay. It was obvious to me that Ella was very well cared for and loved. We will definitely use Kayla again the next time we need to board Ella!

I take so many pictures and videos in case you haven’t noticed! Lol! I send pupdates daily I love sending and capturing their stay. I have a Large yard that is fenced, family/friends pets come to play with your pets for play time since my Furby is a grumpy old man he’s worn out of that play time phase so I keep them active with other dogs or individual play time. & we take field trips to trails, pools, petco, dog beaches & of course this is with permission only.

Information Kayla M. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know if they are friendly with other pets, energy levels,house trained, any likes or dislikes to be cautious of. Up to date on shots, particularly rabies. Any experience with food aggressiveness, leash aggressiveness, and if there is any trust issues with males etc. We want all clients to feel safe when they’re away from their parents & keeping us posted for things to keep in mind. To help us feel at ease please at least have a name tag for your dogs collar or micro chipping for safety. :-)
A typical day
As a dog parent I understand the struggle of leaving your pet behind and wondering if they’re going to get enough love or enjoy themselves, it’s my ultimate goal to make them comfortable and help them stay happy while their parents are away! I pack their days with activities to do, whether it’s going on a run with me, playing in the yard warm or snow, cuddling to some music. Lots of classical music is played for dogs with anxiety or struggling to sleep, I have lavender steam that is on during the day for calming your dogs. Large fence yard for running around and lots of beds for their comfort. We aim to keep your vacation for parents and fur babies feeling comfortable, happy & an enjoyable stay.

Availability
I work 2 part time jobs and then rover currently. My schedule depends on amount of clients I have at home if I’m available or not. However someone is almost home all the time. I live with a family of 3 girls myself included and my own fur baby Furby! your pet will most likely be alone from 4-6 hours max. Usually we’re spot on with not leaving clients alone for long periods of time. So I work my way around your pets routine and time.
