Caring Hands for Paws of All Sizes

Pet care experience

What makes me different from other sitters on Rover is the way I truly connect with the pets I care for. I don’t just watch animals — I bond with them. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routines, and comfort levels, so they feel safe, understood, and loved in my care. I’m not in this just as a side job — I’m building a future in animal care. I’m actively working toward becoming a veterinary assistant, and every pet I care for is part of that journey. I’m serious about learning, growing, and giving each animal my full attention and respect. Unlike sitters who may rush through visits, I stay present and patient. I keep a calm, cozy, and peaceful environment and never force a pet into anything they’re not comfortable with. I also communicate regularly with pet parents, giving them peace of mind with honest updates and details. I may not offer medical care or training, but what I do provide is consistency, safety, and a lot of heart — and that’s what sets me apart. I'm available Sunday through Saturday and offer flexible scheduling to meet your pet’s needs.

This was my first time using this service, and it was an emergency. I'm really pleased with how easy it was and the quick responses from the sitters. Kayla took care of my pup and did an excellent job, providing fast communication and sending a few pictures and a video during my pup's stay. Thank you!

Ruby enjoyed her time with Kayla. Even though Kayla is very quiet and reserved, she shared a few pictures and videos of Ruby and let me know she was doing well. Kayla is respectful and responds quickly. Thanks for taking care of Ruby!

Kayla was awesome and a God send! I needed a sitter last minute and she was able to accept Lola! She was very patient with my hyper girl as she explored her temporary abode. She took very good care of Lola and sent pictures to show Lola being a good girl. Definitely recommend Kayla for anyone needing a great sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

As a dedicated animal lover, I understand how important your pets are to your family. Whether caring for them in your home or mine, I create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets feel loved and secure. I am committed to maintaining their regular routines—meals, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks—to provide consistency and comfort. I approach every pet with patience and respect, building trust by letting them feel comfortable at their own pace. My home is pet-friendly and designed with their safety in mind, and I supervise closely to ensure their well-being at all times. Open and honest communication with pet owners is a priority, so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m also prepared for any emergency with quick access to local veterinarians and first aid supplies. With a professional attitude and a heart full of love for animals, I strive to be a reliable, caring extension of your family during our time together.

Hi! I’m a dedicated and professional dog lover who treats every dog like a beloved member of the family. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while you’re away. I follow your dog’s individual routine carefully — feeding, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special care instructions — to keep them happy and secure. I engage dogs with fun activities such as walks tailored to their energy level, interactive playtime, gentle cuddles, and mental enrichment through training games or puzzle toys. I believe in open communication and will send you regular updates and photos so you always know your dog is being cared for with kindness and professionalism. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
