I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or administering oral medications, I can be there when they need me. I am also happy to send daily photo updates and offer extra attention or training reinforcement during walks.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets at a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and active. During walks, I monitor their energy and comfort, provide plenty of attention, and ensure they get exercise appropriate for their age and needs. I follow any specific instructions from the owner to make sure the walk is enjoyable and stress-free for the pet.

Information Kayla M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, quirks, or behaviors that I need to account for. Safety is my highest priority!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and active! During walks, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and explore new smells. For drop-ins, I like to play with their favorite toys, give them belly rubs or gentle massages, and practice any tricks or commands they know. I also make sure to give lots of attention, treats (if allowed), and cuddles—whatever keeps them happy and comfortable while you’re away

Tail Wags Are My Love Language

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for animals my whole life, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, horses, chickens, and cows, and participating in 4-H with dogs, horses, and goats. I’ve pet-sat multiple times, including for blind or handicapped dogs, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications. I provide compassionate, reliable care, treating every pet like part of my family and making sure tails keep wagging while you’re away! I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds :)

Kayla had to deal with my key getting stuck in my door and a last minute request. I really appreciate her accommodating us and being able to deal with the unexpected.
