Highlights
Pet care experience
🐶 Walks, Whiskers & Wagging Tails
I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember; dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, even squirrels! That lifelong experience, combined with my natural connection to animals, is what makes this more than just a job—it’s a true passion.

Ratings and reviews
Kayla took great care of our Corgi and Cockapoo. We were so grateful she enabled us to enjoy a day in Ottawa. We would definitely book with Kayla again
I had such a great experience with Kayla! It was my first time using Rover and leaving my two pets in the care of someone outside my circle of friends/family. One of my cats also has medical needs that we are still getting used to. I had peace of mind leaving them with Kayla after a great meet and greet. Kayla is communicative, responsive, and took great care of my shy pets during drop in visits. The place was left immaculate as well. Definitely recommend and will request her services again. Thanks again!
Excellent care and very reliable.
I was on a trip to Ottawa with my English Bulldog Sassy. We needed a sitter 2 times during my stay and Kayla was wonderful with Sassy! She was patient knowing Sassy was on a trip and not doing things that follow her normal routine so she made Sassy feel safe and at home when watching her. She also updated me so I knew Sassy was ok. I would recommend Kayla if you need a puppy sitter! She is Sassy approved 🐶
Absolutely amazing! Took care of our girl and kept us updated. Thank you!
Kayla is so attentive and provides lots of updates! Matcha had a great daycare experience :) we will be back

Schedule
I work with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments; including seniors, reactive dogs, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I have hands-on experience caring for pets post-surgery, and I'm comfortable with medical routines like:
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
💉 Insulin injections 💧 Subcutaneous fluids 💊 Oral, topical, and other medications
Pets
A typical day
Every day is tailored to your pet’s personality, energy level, and routine; whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. In my home, mornings usually start with some fresh air in the fully fenced yard followed by a walk around the neighborhood or nearby parks; walks are usually 45 minutes or more unless you request otherwise. I’ve got a variety of toys (even for tough chewers), comfy spots to nap, and plenty of time for cuddles and play. Pets can hang out on the furniture or sleep wherever they're comfortable (unless you have specific rules you'd like me to follow). Cats have full range of the home and will have access to large, clean litter boxes. You're welcome to provide your own supplies, or I can use mine. In your home, I aim to keep things as close to your pet’s usual routine as possible. I’ll stick to their feeding schedule, walk them along their familiar routes, and follow any house rules you have in place. I treat your home with the same care and respect I do my own and always make sure it's left clean and tidy. I do not allow off-leash walks, even for well-behaved dogs, for safety and liability reasons. No matter where your pet is, they’ll get the same love, attention, and personalized care they’re used to with an extra dose of fun and companionship while you’re away!
