Loving pet sitter!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was about 14 years old. I LOVE all animals, and enjoy taking them on walks/hikes. Would love the opportunity to continue spending more time with your pets!

Kayla was wonderful with Axel! He stayed with her for a weekend and came back super happy. She sent photos of them playing and going on long walks in the park. Would definitely use Kayla again in the future!

Kayla is an amazing rover. She house sat for us and watched our dog and 2 kittens while we were out of town. She is a great communicator, sent several pictures a day, and was respectful of our house. She is very responsible and spoiled our fur babies. She took our dog on very long walks each day.

Kayla has watched our 1 1/2 year old cavapoo puppy, Katsu, on numerous occasions over the past year and is always our go-to dog sitter! She is a dog lover at heart and always goes above and beyond when she watches Katsu. She takes him on long walks every day, gives him tons of love and attention, is always sending us pictures and updates on how he's doing, and once she even proactively bought doggy shampoo to give him a bath without us even asking her to. Katsu gets so excited every time he sees Kayla because he knows he's about to have such a fun time with her! Kayla is incredibly attentive and followed all of our specific care instructions (especially when our dog was a little puppy and still learning his way around the world) and has always been very responsible and loving with our dog. I cannot recommend Kayla enough for your dog sitting needs!
