Welcome to Doggy Camp!
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Kayla Kleist (Susmilch), a dedicated pet lover with over 5 years of experience providing top-notch cat and dog boarding as well as doggy daycare through Rover. Beyond Rover, I've been offering my services for over 10 years, creating lasting relationships with repeat customers who trust me with their furry friends week after week. After taking a break to embrace the joys of motherhood, I'm thrilled to announce that I'm back and ready to extend my love and care to your pets once again. I'm a proud mom of a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old, both of whom have learned to embrace and respect the furry companions that come through our home. Working from home allows me the flexibility to cater to your pet's needs with a schedule that suits them best. At my residence, you'll find a warm and welcoming environment for your pets to feel right at home. Our household includes Bruce, a senior dog who is accustomed to new faces, and a small hobby farm with alpacas, chickens, mini pigs, mini donkeys, and a pony – all safely secured to ensure a harmonious coexistence with our canine and feline friends. Living on a spacious 2.5-acre property with a fully fenced yard, your pets will have ample room to run and play freely. Despite the presence of my two small children, our home maintains a serene and calm atmosphere, providing a peaceful retreat for visiting pets. My academic background includes a Bachelors and Masters of Science in Animal Science, reflecting my lifelong dedication to the well-being and care of animals. During my college years, I gained valuable experience working for small animal veterinarians, contributing to various animal units on campus, and volunteering at the Wood's Human Society in San Luis Obispo. One aspect clients appreciate is my commitment to communication. I provide constant updates, including daily pictures, ensuring you're always in the loop about your pet's well-being and happiness. Clients often remark on how their cats and dogs genuinely enjoy coming to my home, a testament to the love and care they receive. I look forward to the opportunity to welcome your beloved pets into my home, where they will be treated with the same affection and attention as if they were my own. Feel free to reach out to discuss your pet's unique needs, and let's make their stay a joyful and comfortable experience!
Reviews
Kayla was absolutely wonderful with my nine month old golden retriever puppy! Her family and property provided an optimal boarding/vacation experience! I feel that both my dog and I experienced wonderful vacations! Clearly, my puppy fell in love with Kayla and her family!
Kayla is amazing with our dog! He is happy and excited to see her and play with the other dogs. She spoils him and I know he is safe and happy in her care!
There were lots of photos (and video) of Pepper having a wonderful time....I was a little worried she wouldn't want to come.
Our two dogs had a blast while we were away. Not sure they even missed us. Kayla and Evan are awesome! Kayla sent us daily updates and pictures of our pups were faring. Knowing they were in good hands enabled us to enjoy our vacation, worry free. An added plus is their amazing 20 acre property. Plenty of room for the dogs to romp. I appreciate Kayla's patience. When my doodle first got their, he was fixated on their chicken coop, barking and trying to find a way into it. Kayla was confident he would calm down by the next day, and he did. We would definitely send Shova and Wanda back there. Highly recommended!

Information Kayla S. would like to know about your pet
Your pet's comfort is my priority, so knowing their preferences is key. Feel free to share any specific details – from their favorite ways to play to their preferred sleeping spots. Understanding these nuances helps create a tailored and enjoyable experience for them. Given the presence of my own pets and two small children, I appreciate open communication about any aggression concerns. I strive to maintain a harmonious environment, ensuring the safety and well-being of all furry and human friends under my care.
A typical day
A typical day in our pet haven begins with a refreshing morning potty break followed by a delightful breakfast for our furry guests. Another outdoor break ensures they stay comfortable. Throughout the day, there's an array of activities – from playing in the spacious yard to keeping them company while I work. Our canine friends particularly enjoy lending a paw with farm chores, adding an extra element of fun. For those with separation anxiety, they're welcome to join me on any errands, a routine I incorporate regularly. Your pet's day is thoughtfully crafted to be engaging, interactive, and tailored to their individual needs.
