Pet care experience

Farm & Pet Professional 🐾🐴🩷

I’m an animal-loving farm girl with a lifelong background working with animals of all kinds. I hold a bachelor’s degree and have hands-on experience caring for everything from cockatiels, chinchillas, and turtles to horses, cows, and a wide variety of dog breeds. I’ve owned and worked with many rescue animals, which has given me a deep appreciation for each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, and needs. I believe in building trust, creating structure, and meeting every dog where they’re at — whether they’re high energy, sensitive, or just want to relax in good company. My experience as a veterinary technician in both small and large animal medicine allows me to confidently recognize when something isn’t right and respond appropriately, giving you added peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits designed to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Whether your dog needs exercise, a potty break, fresh water and snacks, or just some quality companionship, I tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs and routine. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy caring for your animals. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to details. You'll receive updates, photos, and honest communication so you can feel confident your pets are safe and well cared for. My experience extends beyond cats and dogs, so I'm also comfortable providing care for other pets and farm animals during drop-in visits. No matter the species, every animal receives the same level of patience, respect, and compassionate care.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their individual needs, personality, and routine. During drop-in visits and walks, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medication administration when needed, companionship, and gentle exercise appropriate for your pet's age, health, and energy level. Whether your pet prefers a leisurely walk, a little time outside, or simply some good company and reassurance while you're away, I strive to make each visit a positive and stress-free experience. Safety, communication, and reliability are extremely important to me. I carefully follow all instructions, monitor for any changes in behavior or well-being, and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for in your absence.

Drop-In Visits • Jun 23, 2026

Daisy is obsessed with Kayla, at this point it’s more like we’re booking her bestie to come hang out! Kayla always sends great updates and Daisy never looks stressed. Even our bunny, Lupin, warmed right up to her!

Amazing amazing amazing care from Kayla! Daisy was visibly comfortable and happy in all of her update pics! Kayla was on time and had no problem following instructions. She went above and beyond by feeding our bunny in the morning too, and it was such a good feeling to know both of them were in good hands. She’s definitely made repeat customers out of us!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 11, 2026

Kayla is AMAZING! You can tell she is doing this solely because she loves dogs! My pup had the best day, lots of outside time, lots of puppy play and even met some new animal friends. Very communicative, quick response and so sweet! Cant wait for Rosie to go back again

Kayla is truly one of those rare people who has a natural connection with animals, especially with dogs. From the moment she meets a new pup, you can see how quickly they trust her and feel at ease. She’s patient, attentive, and incredibly intuitive when it comes to understanding each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s a super high energy dog that needs a long walk and playtime, or a more relaxed companion that just wants comfort and consistency, Kayla adapts perfectly. She doesn’t just “watch” dogs. She genuinely cares for them like they’re her own. She pays attention to the little details, keeps routines consistent, and always makes sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve seen firsthand how responsible and dependable she is, and I’d trust her with any dog without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, treat your dog like family, and give you total peace of mind, Kayla is the one.
