Pets are SPOILED over here!

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to walk, feed and bathe and even style their pets! Not only did I take care of others but I have my very own fur baby that I’ve been taking care of since I was a kid. I’m currently a part-time college student, a dog groomer, content creator and an aspiring entrepreneur to open my own business one day. I love to stay busy and active so your pup will get plenty of energy with me! I love to work out routinely and it’s so much more fun with dogs at my side! I am available all week and weekends just shoot me a text to let me know ahead of time, what’s your schedule, etc. I have a fenced yard and I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby accompanied! I can crate my dog or yours if needed. I love all dogs as they are my own. It’s in my religion that animals are most sacred, so you can trust your pet is in good hands! I’m not greedy, not in this for the money, I’m willing to negotiate prices, whatever’s easier for you and to make your life more peaceful. Seriously! I do not mind! :)

Kayla provided a wonderful time for my Poppy at her home.

My experience with Kayla was every dog owners’ worst nightmare. I trusted her to watch my dog while I was out of town. I get a call the next day that my dog ran away. She claims my dog, Remy, jumped the makeshift “gate” (that was actually a crate) she had on her deck. I had been on the phone with her for 5 mins and asked how long Remy’s been gone and she said “5 seconds” which clearly was a lie. She continued to put the blame on me for losing my dog and became very hysterical and started cursing me out. I didn’t perceive any effort made by her to find Remy, never kept me updated on what has been done to find her. I had to take matters in my own hand and posted countless posts online and even had to pay someone to put up flyers. Fortunately, someone saw one of the posts and called me when they found Remy almost 3 miles from where the sitter lived, a day after she was lost. She limped on two of her legs which I later found out was because she had burns on her paw pads. My dog is very people friendly and has never ran away from people before. I would never trust Kayla with my dog again. If you’re considering a dog sitter, I would advise to look elsewhere.

Super communicative! She was so good with my 8 month old and I’d definitely book again!

A typical day

I love to stimulate the dogs physically and mentally. We go for long walks around the neighborhood and there’s animals everywhere! So they’ll meet plenty of friends! I also love to take the dogs to dog parks around the city. I love to spoil them because they’re just dogs! We all have one life.
