Your neighborhood animal fanatic

Pet care experience

I am a total animal fanatic and have a pet in my life ever since I can remember. I love all pets from cats to dogs to snakes. Whenever my friends are away or have an animal in need, I am the first person they call. I have loved and cared for a dog for almost my entire life. While I have only had a caviler King Charles spaniel, I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. On top of this, I have worked for dog walking and dog sitting companies for nearly 4 years. Through this, I have cared for dogs from the tiniest toy yorkie to the biggest Great Dane. I have a 5 star rating and nearly 100 five star reviews. You would be leaving your dog in very capable hands. As a caretaker for your dog, I would come not only with this experience but a loving, yet responsible personality. I would make sure your dog is happy while safe at the same time. I offer walking, sitting and drop in visits. I can’t wait to take care of your dog!

I have had Kayla pet sit on several occasions for my cat Luna for trips away. Kayla is responsible and caring. She has a remarkable bond with animals, especially with my girl, Luna. Kayla treats Luna as if Luna was her own. Luna doesn't like everyone, but she absolutely adores Kayla. I find Luna views being taken care of by Kayla as a treat. Overall, I can go on trips with ease, knowing Luna is in good hands with Kayla. I highly recommend Kayla. She is the real deal and an excellent pet caregiver. Luna looks forward to seeing Kayla again soon. Kayla is simply the best!

Kayla is my go-to petsitter whenever I am out of town. She is so great with my dog Domino. He has the best time with her and she takes care of him as if he’s her own!

Kayla is amazing! Toby is super attached to me and anxious around strangers, but Kayla treated him like he was her own and he ended up having a blast! I'll definitely be using Kayla again in the future. Thank you Kayla!!

Kayla was absolutely phenomenal! She took such great care of my baby Pia. She was so attentive. I could tell Pia had such a great time throughout the day with her. Pia absolutely adored Kayla. She sends cute little picture updates throughout the day so you can see what they are up to. You can feel safe leaving your baby in such good hands. I will definitely be using her again in the future. A+++

Not only will I be home most of the day to ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable, but I also am careful to keep dangerous foods and materials out of reach. I will additionally always make sure that collars and harnesses are tight and secure. I have experience walking and sitting for dogs of all sizes and I will accommodate their needs individually to ensure that they are always safe.

Information Kayla R. would like to know about your pet

I believe that the following is vital information to know: 1) How do they react to the presence of other dogs or animals? Are they better with smaller dogs or larger dogs? 2) Do they have any triggers that should be avoided if possible like birds or loud noises? 3) How do you typically reinforce good behaviors in your pup? 4) Are there any behavioral warning signs specific to your dog?

A typical day

One of my favorite activities to do with dogs is going on long walks in the parks and along the FDR drive and Westside highway. I also adore going to a really amazing dog cafe called Boris and Horton in the East Village if the pup likes other dogs. Depending on a dog's specific personality, I like to take the dogs that I am taking care of everywhere I go, whether to a restaurant with friends or on weekend adventures to the beach.

I currently work remotely so I will be hanging out with your dog or pet all day long! I will have a lot of flexibility in the day to take the pup on regular walks as needed, and potentially adventures to parks in the morning and evening.
