Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog person & pre-vet student
Hi I'm Kayla! I have nearly 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals — first as a pet owner and also from caring for friends' animals. I have owned a German Shepard and an Australian cattle dog, so I am good with large and energetic dogs! I have volunteered at the NOCO Humane Society since February 2026, where I help care for dogs by feeding them and cleaning their kennels, and I also assist in the veterinary services clinic. I completed my B.S. in Zoology at CSU in Summer 2026, and I hope to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I love all kinds of animals and would love to work with you and your pets:)

Kayla also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for dogs by taking them on long walks, playing with them for a good amount of time, and making sure they get lots of pets. I always make sure to clean up after myself, along with any messes around the food and water bowls. That way you can come back to a clean home and relax after your trip! For walks and drop-ins, I will send pictures and a summary of my time with your pet at the end of the visit. During house-sitting bookings, I send pictures and a summary of the day at the end of every day of the sitting.
Ratings and reviews
Kayla was great with our very senior dog and cat. Our dog required special treatment for medical issues and Kayla was a pro! She’s great with communication and left our house near and tidy.
Kayla was awesome in her first walk w/ Gene! He still has puppy energy, so I was so grateful for her ability to meet him where he was at & get everything in order for his walk. Her summary & photos show a very happy dog which was exactly what I came home to. She was also highly communicative & offered her own thoughts/questions to make extra sure everything went well. Highly recommend Kayla!
We were very pleased with Kayla’s care of our pets and home. We received daily updates, which eased our minds about being away. We will definitely use her again.
Kayla was great! Sent us a summary and pictures at the end of each day. Our dogs were well cared for and loved!
Kayla was great! She took such good care of Gypsy, Lafitte, and our home. Her communication is timely and she left our home very clean, even washing the sheets and towels! Our dog had a bout of sickness the day before we came home and Kayla was very attentive and caring with her. Gave us frequent updates and treated Gypsy as her own. I highly recommend Kayla and will be using her services again!
Kayla is incredibly sweet, reliable and genuinely loves animals. My dog was comfortable with her right away and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Kayla kept me updated and was attentive to his needs. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter.

Schedule
I am available to care for pets most days of the week at whatever time you need! I am currently not accepting house-sitting requests, but I expect to reopen my calendar as we approach the Fall and Winter holidays.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsKayla can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know how your pet likes to be cared for so I can do my best to replicate their routine at home! I love practicing any commands or tricks they know and play with their favorite toys. It is also helpful to know if your pet has any triggers or preferences so I know how to best care for them.
