Welcome to the bark side!
Pet care experience
I love dogs and all animals really but I’ve taken care of pets in my neighborhood and pets in my family since I was 14. My schedule is moderate I’m available on weekends to house sit and can stop by during the day on week days for drop ins and dog walks.I’m in the military specifically the Air Force so my schedule isn’t always the same. I’m unable to care in my own home I will be soon but until I’m able to house sit and follow all the rules you provide.
Reviews
Kayla is a wonderful person. However, she did not communicate as well as I hoped. She also brought an unknown person into my home. There was also some inconsistency between expectations and actual time spent in the house.
Kayla loves our pups and they love her too! We’ve booked Kayla multiple times and she always sends several photos of our dogs!
Kayla was wonderful! She had such a good demeanor with my dog, was reliable, and proactive in communicating with me. Highly recommend!
I don’t often leave negative reviews, however, I’d like to have had this info prior to hiring Kayla. We hired her to sit for our 2 dogs in our house for a weekend. Since one of our dogs is a puppy, I emphasized that I didn’t want him alone for too long at one time- Kayla assured me that 4 hours would be the maximum between visits. I also discussed (and left a note) that the dogs should be walked and exercises(especially the puppy). I heard from her at 7:42 PM on Friday evening, and then nothing. By 2:00 PM the following day, I hadn’t heard from her and had a neighbor go check on the dogs. There was urine everywhere, dried and fresh- including the area where my fully potty trained adult dog was kept. I have no idea how long they were alone for this to have happened, but I guarantee it was longer than 4 hours- especially since some of the puddles had dried. Kayla did eventually respond, saying she had taken them out that morning and her phone was broken. Not convinced, but okay. Then, when we returned home, our neighbors informed us that the dogs were never walked, and that when she was visiting, Kayla would sit out front in her car for hours. It was obvious the puppy hadn’t been exercised, as he was stressed and had destroyed his bed. He also was left in the crate during the day, when I specified that was only during bedtime, and he destroyed the bed in his crate. We were very disappointed, as we were impressed by Kayla upon meeting her, but I cannot recommend hiring her.
