Pet care experience

Patient and attentive for all pets

I’ve taken care of many pets for family members and pets. I have experience with cats and dogs. Used to all circumstances, whether its anxious dogs or cats that have behavioral issues. I have also worked with pets needing medication. I know how to properly bathe dogs and cats and have the means to facilitate both. I’m currently working part time retail(18 hours)but I have a flexible schedule and work in the neighborhood.I am able to work with any schedule accommodations . For me, supervision is key when it comes to safety in my home and a client's home. Making sure to be aware and focused on the pet to spot any unusual behaviors. My home is clean and is dog proofed to avoid any unnecessary accidents. Also, asking the pet parent for any medical or behavioral issues to make sure I’m ready for anything.

She was great with the dogs. The dogs loved her and they had a great time with her. They were fed and always had water and seemed as content as they would have been with us. When she came to visit and pick up a couple little things she forgot here, they were so happy to see her and treated her like part of the family they hadn't seen in a few days. It rained like crazy during her time here and the dogs left things a mess, so she even washed a few doggy blankets and towels and cleaned the floors before we got home. Thanks Kayla!

Kayla watched our two dogs for the first time while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and pictures, and we felt very comfortable with her staying in our home! She didn’t give up on warming to our older dog who was all but friendly initially. They ended up becoming the best of friends ❤️

Kayla did a phenomenal job with my animals, received pictures everyday. My dog is very anxious but he quickly fell in love with her. My 1st experience using this app was definitely a great one, my apt was exactly how I left it, would recommend her to anyone and will use her in the future!!

A typical day

I greatly enjoy making all pets happy, which includes making sure they are tuckered when they get home from a walk. I live very close to riverside park and intend to take any dogs for a walk there. Furthermore, I think it’s important to also get some play time in, whether that is fetching a ball or running around with them to get some energy out. Not only that, but I also intend to bring a blanket, so your pet can sit in the park for water and a snack.Bathing with blow dry available upon request and for a fee.
