Pet care experience
TX Native, Animal Lover, ATX Vibes
Proud cat mom and lifelong dog girl living and vibing in Austin 🐾 I grew up in West Texas on what was basically a mini farm—six dogs (five dachshunds!), plus cats, chickens, fish, and even peacocks. My first “job” was pet sitting for neighbors, so caring for animals has been part of my life from day one. Summers were spent at Prude Ranch, a cattle and horse ranch, and I even volunteered feeding animals at the local museum. These days, I’m a homeowner, a commercial real estate agent, and cat mom to my orange tabby, Guerilla (aka “the little baby” 😸). I’ve also fostered cats through Austin Pets Alive and cared for both cats and dogs with special needs. I love their completely different personalities — the best of both worlds. My line of work in real estate keeps me working remotely most of the time, giving me some flexibility in my schedule. Since I do have a full-time job, I only do about 3-4 drop-ins and/or walks per day. Some older reviews may mention my former roommate helping with pet care, but now it’s just me! I bring the same dependable, organized, and responsive energy I use in my career into caring for your pets. Whether your fur baby is a lap-loving napper or a backyard zoomie expert, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away ❤️🐶🐱

Safety, trust & environment
In client’s homes, I prioritize trust and communication—closely following your pet’s routine, from mealtimes and medications to scratches and playtime. I’m big on communication, so you’ll get regular updates, tons of photos, and a cute summary to wrap up the visit. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own.
Ratings and reviews
First time Rover user, and I would recommend Kayla! She watched my dog Cleo while I went out of town and we had a great experience! Kayla first offered to do a little meet and greet ahead of our booking, which allowed Cleo to get to know her a bit beforehand and to build trust. She was attentive taking notes about Cleo’s care during our meet up and was great with communication leading up to & during the booked visits! Kayla was sure to leave detailed summaries about each visit and tooks lots of photos — even showing that her water bowls were filled before she left! Would absolutely rebook! :)
Took pictures with Gene, and pet him and made sure he wasn’t lonely the weekend I was gone. 10/10 would recommend.
First time cat customers. Kayla exceeded expectations. I truly loved the pictures and the feedback in real time. Will be a repeat customer.
I used Kayla for help letting my dog out while I was work. She was communicative and timely. I would definitely use her services again.
Kayla was great, very attentive to detail, reliable, and my dogs loved her.
Kayla was very attentive with chicken, chicken enjoyed her treats and pet pets. Everything went according to plan. Will request Kayla to visit kitties again in the future.

Schedule
I work for myself, so I make my own hours and can be flexible. I typically work from home so I’m able to stop by at anytime—whether that’s snuggles (or space, depending on their vibe), playtime, walks, or meals. Your fur baby will always have someone reliable looking out for them.

- Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical routines, or is a senior who needs a gentler pace. The more details you share, the better! Personality quirks are especially helpful—does your cat prefer not to be picked up? Is your pup nervous around other dogs? For example, my cat Guerilla hates head scratches. Feeding routines, favorite toys, hiding spots, allergies, social habits—no detail is too small. I’m here to make their stay or visit stress-free for everyone (including you!).
