Experienced in rescue dog lover

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Kayla and I am very experienced with dogs. Not only have I had dogs my whole life, but I have been volunteering and fostering for an animal rescue group since 2010. I have had over 150 foster dogs over the years so I’ve worked with a lot of dogs. I have a lot of experience working with dogs with behavioral issues and fear so if your dogs are nervous around new people, I feel comfortable handling that and helping them work through that with me. I also have experience administering medication, vaccinating, nail trimming, and dressing severe flesh wounds. I have been raising service dogs since 2013. I raised guide dogs for three years. After that, I moved to a service dog group where I now fully train service dogs. My last dog just graduated with his disabled partner. I taught him over 60 commands - he could open and shut doors, cupboards, and refrigerators. I also taught him to turn on and off the lights, pick up dropped items, push handicapped buttons, make transactions at the store, help remove your clothing, etc. Walks during overnight stays must be booked in addition to the overnight stays. I send photos of the dog to every client I babysit, walk, or drop in for. I want to give you peace of mind that your dog is happy and doing well. House sitting is done with my boyfriend as I am not a fan of staying in a strangers house alone. I am a student and a nanny and he owns a high-end car rental company, so between the two of us we are able to spend quite a bit of time at the house with the dog! He also occasionally accompanies me on walks. I would love for you to consider hiring me as I love animals and have a lot of experience caring for them!

Layla is a wonderful pet and house sitter. She took care of my five pets for a week. This included lots of oral meds for a scaredy cat and an injection for one of the dogs, amongst other things. She was thorough, kind, and clean! I am a high maintenance pet mom and Kayla was so accommodating. I will definitely be using her services again!!!

Kayla came through for me for a last minute situation to watch my little ones. She was great and properly communicative. I would rebook. ;-)

Kayla was so great, she put my mind at ease every step of the way! She came and stayed with the dogs, and she sent me pictures of my fur babies while I was gone! She did not hesitate to ask questions or contact me if she needed anything. I will definitely be using her again!

Kayla did a great job house sitting with our difficult dogs. While both dogs are tightly bonded with us, they can be nervous around other people and dogs. For a few weeks before we went out of town Kayla came by for drop in visits to help the dogs get to know her. Kayla's experience with rescued dogs was apparent right away. She understands their issues and knows how to work with them. While we were away Kayla checked in with us several times. She sent pictures and assured us the dogs were doing well which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. Upon our return we found the dogs were happy to see us, but clearly were well cared for while we were away. Kayla also took very good care of our home. Kayla is gentle, compassionate, capable, and responsible. We will surely continue to use her services.
