Caring Animal Lover-Holiday Opening

Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. Dog Training. I am currently finishing a course through Good Pup offered by Rover and am so excited to be offering training to existing and new clients once I complete my certification!

Dog Walking • févr. 15, 2025

Would not recommend this walker... --She claims she walked my pup, though she never checked in and out with the app, said she had phone problems, but never let me know, I had to reach out to inquire what happened.--The white leash I left out had a treat on top of it, and the treat was still in the same spot, on top of the leash, when I returned home.--The pics she sent me were old (I could tell because the blue leash in the pic is currently at my other house in South Elgin). She claimed her phone was sending me old pics for some reason.--Lastly, my roommate was home in the living room all morning and afternoon, and said the dogwalker never showed up (once I told Kayla this, she never responded.)

It was our first time using Rover and we have a cat that needs daily medication. Kayla kept us informed of how our pets were doing on a daily basis and we could see from our cameras our cats looked forward to seeing her! I have no reservations about hiring Kayla again.

We are thrilled we met Kayla. We have a rescue dog that isn't always a fan of strangers. Lucy immediately liked Kayla. We now leave and don't worry about the dogs! Thank you Kayla! We are grateful for you.

Kayla is wonderful. We have a very anxious rescue dog and Lucy immediately fell in love with her. Her communication with us was wonderful. She sent us adorable pictures of both girls ❤️

Kayla dog sat in our home for a week while we were on a family vacation. She had wonderful communication and sent us daily updates and pictures! She was so great to work with and took great care of our pup. He was well loved and played with. We came home to a clean home and happy pup. I’d recommend her to anyone and would 100% book her again.

Any medical or behavioral concerns are always something I'd like to know about to ensure your pet is cared for to the highest standard. I also enjoy learning about your pets personality and daily routine as that helps me get to know them.
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.
