Pet care experience

Animal lover looking for puppy love

My name is Kayla. I have had dogs of all sizes around me my entire life. I have a graduate degree in social work from the University of Pittsburgh. I am empathetic and attentive to body language which will make me the best companion for your fur babies! I want to do this to test the waters to see if I would like my very own puppy. I would enjoy trying my hand at training puppies! I am a petite person and would do best with pets that are under 50lbs or well behaved. I work for the University of Pittsburgh doing research. I have a standard schedule 9-5 and currently work from home. In my free time I enjoy hiking, painting, reading, drinking IPAs, yoga, rock climbing, and being active. I want to put this nice weather to good use by spending time with your fur babies! I can’t wait to meet them! 🐶🐾

Our dog had a great time with Kayla! She sent lots of pictures and updates and we could tell he was well cared for.

Kayla is a great dogsitter! She communicated with us to make sure she knew all their needs, let us know about any questions or if something unexpected happened. We really appreciate her!

Kayla really got us out of a jam by house-sitting our 1-yr old dog, Leo, when our travel plans changed. She responded within an hour of our request and arranged a pre-stay visit to become comfortable with our house and Leo. Kayla was responsible, communicative with texts and pictures, and a pleasure to work with. She even stayed late when our return travel was delayed, and we came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We will definitely reach out to her again!

Kayla was wonderful! She kept me updated the whole weekend and I felt super comfortable with her staying at my house and taking care of my new rescue! She clearly loves dogs and was so sweet and wonderful to mine. I would definitely recommend Kayla and will be using her in the future!

I would like to know about any petting preferences ie don’t touch ears or belly. I’d like to know about favorite toys, any leash pulling, or fearful behaviors.
