Here to Be Friends With Your Dog!

Pet care experience

I have always had a love for dogs and all other animals! When I heard about Rover it seemed like a great opportunity to do something I love! There is seriously nothing I'd rather be doing than hanging out with a dog! If fact, if I didn’t have a job I would be happy hanging out with pups 24/7! My husband Garrett and I live in the Indian Creek neighborhood in the Cane Ridge area. We have a fenced-in backyard, and while it’s not very big it does provide plenty of space to run and play! Our front yard is much larger for playing ball, and we live at the end of the cul de sac so there is very little traffic near my home. There is also a greenway and playground only two blocks from my home we can walk to for playing! My husband will help care for your fur baby and he equally as much experience as I do taking care of dogs (maybe even more). He previously worked at a vet clinic helping with procedures and exams. We both have a passion for caring for dogs and are really excited about watching your pups! My dogs will also be around to help and play with -- we’ve got an English Bulldog who is very lazy and loves playing tug-o-war -- and we have a Terrier mix who tends to keep to herself, but will occasionally steps in and plays with dogs her size. We’ve cared for all types of pups, including Bulldogs, Boxers, Terrier mixes, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Labs, Pomeranians and more! In the past we have fostered stray dogs from the shelter and volunteered at the shelter when we lived in Alabama. I will only watch dogs who are well trained and listen to simple commands. I will not be a good choice for a dog who does not listed and misbehaves. I require a meet and greet before all bookings. No yard diggers! We will consider watching dogs 40+ lbs with prior approval and will watch bulldogs of any size:) My true passion is playing with dogs, caring for them and it makes me incredibly happy to take care of other’s pups! If your pet stays with us, we promise to play with a lot of toys, give treats (if that’s OK with you!) and exercise as much as the pup needs. Other than watching dogs, I like to work outside in my garden and visit the local farmer’s and flea markets. But playing with my dogs and meeting other dogs is my favorite thing to do!

Kayla was able to come take my puppy basset hound out during the day for me while I was attending a conference. Kayla provided photos and was responsible. Will work with her again.

Kayla was fantastic with my dog. She sent me photo updates and let me know how she was doing. I love that she only sits one dog, it helps make sure my dog gets the attention I expect. She was great with being flexible on my pick up times due to my travel. I would recommend her to anyone!

Great first experience using Rover. Kayla and her husband were fabulous, and I felt comfortable using them as we have mutual friends. They sent pictures of my Bru clearly having a blast and even brought him home to our house waiting for us since our flight came in so late. Highly recommend!

Information Kayla S. would like to know about your pet

I like to have meet and greets and I am quick to respond to any messages and scheduling requests. Owners can be confident that I will take great care of their pup, not only because of my love of dogs, but my experience working with so many different types of pups. I’m also very easy going, so your pet will be in a calm and caring environment while you are gone. I need to know that your pet is well trained and behaved and can listen to commands. Please let me know if your dog is crate trained.Behavior that is not acceptable for me is: jumping and banging on the door to go outside, tearing anything up other than a dog toy, not knowing simple commands, such as: Sit/stay and coming when called. If your dog is not trained and does not follow your commands, I am not the person to watch your dog.

A typical day

If your pup stays with us you can be sure that I’ll spend time with them in the morning going for a walk before I head out for work and more play time when I return! And we’ll be sure to entertain your pup with whatever activities they normally do at home with their family and make sure your dog has a lot of fun! We have a nice fenced-in backyard for chilling out or playing and we live on a cul de sac in the Indian Creek neighborhood of the Cane Ridge area. We have a large front yard we can also hang out in -- there’s very little traffic near our home -- and we’re also close to a greenway and a playground that’s only two blocks from my home we can walk to and stretch our legs!
