Safety, trust & environment

I have only dog sat a few times but the times I have watched my relatives/friends dogs, I would ensure I’m sticking within the normal routine and instructions provided to me. Making sure the pups aren’t getting into anything they aren’t supposed to, and getting the proper time for exercise. With my dogs, I have a 12 year old senior pittie Rocko and he is deaf so I keep a very close eye on him and make sure he is getting the proper amount of exercise. He loves his walks. We also had to develop a form of sign language in order to communicate with him but most the time he’s always cuddling or laying by someone. My shorkie and maltese are farrrr different 😂 they are high energy especially Leo (the shorkie) he LOOOVES to play and could play for hours!! So I’m always playing fetch with him and Prince (maltese)

Please let me know in advance about your dogs temperament, allergies, triggers, special needs, or anything i should know about your pup to avoid any issues! :)

A typical day

A typical day will reflect whatever your dog enjoys most—whether that’s active playtime, walks, training games, or quiet companionship. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and match their energy so they feel safe, happy, and understood!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Kayla :) Ever since I was young, I’ve had a passion for working with dogs. Growing up around dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments helped me develop a deep love and understanding for them. While I love all animals, dogs will always hold a special place in my heart. I have worked at two dog daycare/kennel facilities and have over three years of experience supervising anywhere from 40–100 dogs per day. My responsibilities included monitoring group play and ensuring safe behavior between dogs, bathing, scheduled walks, feeding, administering medication when needed, cleaning, and getting to know each dog’s unique personality to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Most importantly, I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and loving environment for every pup. Whether your dog enjoys short walks, long active days, or a more relaxed routine, I’m happy to provide personalized care based on their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. God bless!
