Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment so I am unable to provide boarding or day care services for your pets. However, I do book drop in visits and walking services. No need to worry about your pet getting the necessary play and exercise they require as I live an active lifestyle. That being said I am a firm believer in respecting rules and boundaries. I will follow all the provided instructions for your home and pet(s). I can affirm they will be treated with nothing but love, attention and respect.

Information Kayla S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special accommodations that need to be met for your animal I.e. reactivity, sensitivity to loud noises, short walks only, etc. Safety is my number one priority during my visits. For new customers I would prefer to schedule a first time meet and greet with you and your fur baby at least a few hours prior to our scheduled appointment(s). This will help me make sure I have an understanding of the expected standards and routine while also (hopefully) providing you comfort by meeting the person taking care of your pets.

A typical day

Morning & Evening walks will be 30ish mins. If I know the animal will be left alone for an extended period of time I will ensure to tire them as much as possible to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. Cat Care - I will ensure your kitty has sufficient food, water and litter. I will clean the litter box and water source every visit. I will also provide play time, if your kitty will allow me to play with them 🥰. I’m also okay with just hanging out with your cat to provide mental stimulation. I also LOVE taking photos of animals and will update you immediately after every visit! I also understand if you do not want photos taken of your fur baby and I will respect that!

Pet care experience

My current experience is in pet sitting and dog walking for my friends and neighbors. I currently volunteer at an animal shelter which provides me some hands on experience of walking, playing and handling dogs of various sizes. This also applies for cats. I am a fur mom to a wonderful cat named Kiwi 🥝 and also grew up with several dogs ranging from a tiny chihuahuas to a large golden doodle.

Kayla did an outstanding job watching our dog Ellie, she walked her 2 times a day for 30 minutes at a time and provided daily updates and photos of our fur baby! I will 100% have her pet sit/ walk my pet again!
