Experienced Animal Sitter
Pet care experience
I have been in love with animals my whole life. Every single year for my birthday, I would write my parents a letter telling them why I needed a dog. It finally paid off when I turned 16, and my big loveable idiot became my best friend. Soon after, my cat joined the squad and we have been unstoppable ever since! In addition, I grew up on a small farm where we had goats, chickens, pigs, rabbits, and alpacas. I became the "goat lady" and researched and read everything I could get my hands on so that I could provide the best care for them. Now I work at a goat dairy farm where I regularly provide medical care for these amazing animals. I started dog sitting when I was 12 and would ride my bike to neighbors' houses where I would provide walks, potty breaks, and playtime. This slowly advanced until I was staying for extended times with these lovely pets. Over the years I have gained knowledge and experience giving medications- both oral and injections as well as in training puppies. I would love to get to know you and your wonderful companions as they are some of the most important aspects of your lives and provide such joy.
Reviews
Kayla is a fantastic dogsitter! Our pup has some anxiety, but quickly warmed up to her. Kayla is communicative and trustworthy. Highly recommended!
Kayla was exceptional with our very needy boy! She worked with his leash skills and took great care of our home for the 8 days she stayed with Bob! I would highly recommend her! Thank you Kayla!
Kayla was excellent with my nervous pup and was kept me updated about how things were going throughout!
Kayla is amazing with my dogs and they both absolutely love her

Safety, trust & environment
I love to work with each owner to continue your pet's specific training methods and provide playtime with each visit. On each walk, we have lots of sniffing time as well as practicing loose-leash-walking, and each visit is spent playing with their toys and giving lots of cuddles! Cats often like to hide their personalities under suspicion so I work to disarm them with my charm and their favorite toys.
Information Kayla W. would like to know about your pet
I believe it is important to stay safe while having fun so knowing any "triggers" your dog may have, such as agitated barking at other dogs, is important so we can have the best experience possible. For overnight stays, I will need to know any special needs and medications.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs both mentally and physically. I always love taking dogs to parks where they can sniff new smells and practice their good manners.

I work part-time and love to fill my "off" hours with all kinds of animals! Since I grew up on a farm, I can't stand when my life doesn't have animals heavily involved.
