Pet care experience

Healthcare worker and pet-lover.

Growing up we always had pets in my home. We’ve always had 1-3 cats and had a dog once (the heartbreak of her loss kept us from getting another). I’ve had the responsibility of walking my dog 3 times a day, feeding the dog and the cats twice a day, and spending extended periods of time with them. I recently moved to A2 from Chicago and am working full-time as an occupational therapist in a hospital, looking for a part-time gig. I would love to look after others’ pets during my free time from my studies. I am a very calm and detail-oriented individual. I live with my partner of 4 years and my senior cat I’ve had for 19 years. I love being with both cats and dogs and am looking forward to tending to their needs and providing a very fun, welcoming, and loving experience!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I’m experienced caring for cats and dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule, administer medications if needed, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Kayla did an awesome job taking care of my cat with special needs. She would send me updates and really made me feel at ease when I had to be out of town. I would highly recommend her!

Kayla is great with our 3 cats. She loves them and they love her. She sends pictures and videos of her playing with the cats and cuddling with her. We come home to happy cats.
