Pet care experience

Genuine and loving pet care!

Hi there! My name is Kayla and I have always loved animals, but dogs and cats hold a special place in my heart. They are the most kind, loving, and caring beings on the planet and I want to do everything I can to make them happy! I have taken care of my dogs growing up (4 of them) and my parent’s 4 dogs for a grand total of about 10 years! I have taken care of other animals (including 4 pet ferrets and an iquana), as well as cats (my old kitty of 8 years & my two cats for 7 years) throughout my life. In my free time, I love to volunteer at the Tampa Humane Society, which I started 3 years ago. I have given dogs medication (pills, liquid), as well as cats (inhaler, pills, topical, liquid). I can give your pet a bath, brush them, and take care of any other grooming needs (I can cut cat nails too!). I would love to take care of your pets on repeated visits if everything works out well! I am caring, loving, responsible, and trustworthy; I would be honored to care for your pet as if they are my own. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to talking with you and taking care of your furry family member!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and security are my number one priority when taking care of your pet. I only will walk your pet in areas you request and if for some reason it seems unsafe, I’ll re-evaluate where to go. I always double check doors, screens, back door, etc. are locked and secure. While going on walks, staying on a leash and anticipating changes (running, walking faster, bolting, haha) is what I’ll be doing.

Kayla is the best. She kept me updated on my cat and sent adorable pictures. I had no anxiety while I was away because I totally trust her and my cat loves here

Kayla was great with my cat and dog who are both a little challenging. I have 100% confidence that they were in great hands and I will definitely ask her to do it again the next time I go out of town.

My pup just loved Kayla! She was available to help me with very last minute notice! I received pictures and constant communication throughout their visit.

Kayla is amazing! I’ve had her come to check on my cat Winnie for 3 repeat bookings for multiple days each booking. I always know Winnie is in good hands and cared for! I receive lots of pictures, updates, and prompt communication. Kayla goes above and beyond to make sure Winnie is comfortable while I’m away.

I would first love to know how to bond with your pet! It can be a little scary coming into a new place, or having a new person take care of you, so anything I can do to make your pet more comfortable would be great to know. I would like to know if your pet has any medical concerns that I should be aware of and any limitations they might have regarding eating, drinking, or exercise. Any of their favorites would be super helpful to know as well!
