When managing a 9-5 schedule, integrating pet care into my routine is crucial. Mornings commence with a swift feeding session and a brief walk to kickstart my pet's day. During my one-hour lunch break, I endeavor to swing by home if feasible, ensuring my furry companion receives a check-in—be it a speedy potty break or a short play session to keep them stimulated. Upon returning home after work, we engage in quality time together, whether it's extended walks, grooming rituals, or simply unwinding side by side. Weekends are reserved for more extensive adventures, ranging from exploring new trails to visiting the local dog park. The cornerstone of our routine lies in consistency and attentive care, ensuring my pet feels cherished and well-attended to despite the demands of my work schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's residence, my approach is tailored to suit the specific needs and environment of the furry companions under my care. In my own home, where there's a large unfenced area for the dogs to roam, I ensure they have ample space to exercise and play safely. Daily routines include structured playtime, walks, and opportunities for them to explore and stretch their legs in the open space. Safety measures such as supervision and boundary reinforcement are prioritized to prevent any potential mishaps. Additionally, if the pet is being sat at my home, I have two friendly dogs—an Australian Shepherd and a Weimaraner—that can keep your pet company during playtimes, providing them with social interaction and companionship. When operating in a client's home, I adhere strictly to their instructions regarding pet care, particularly regarding outdoor playtime. If there's a large unfenced area, I follow the client's guidelines on supervision and boundary management. Whether it's setting up temporary barriers or keeping the dogs on-leash, I ensure their safety while allowing them to enjoy their time outdoors. In both scenarios, I maintain open communication with the pet owners, keeping them informed about their pets' activities, behaviors, and any concerns that may arise. Flexibility, attentiveness, and adherence to the pet's routine are central to my approach, ensuring that the pets under my care feel comfortable, secure, and well-loved, whether they're in my home or their own.

Information Kayla W. would like to know about your pet

Understanding key details about your pets ahead of time is essential for providing the best possible care. Here are some important things I'd like to know: Medical History: Any existing health conditions, allergies, medications, or special dietary needs your pet may have are crucial for me to be aware of. This ensures I can provide proper care and respond effectively in case of any medical emergencies. Behavioral Traits: Knowing your pet's personality, temperament, and any behavioral quirks helps me tailor our interactions to suit their preferences. Whether they're shy or outgoing, anxious or relaxed, understanding their behavior helps me create a comfortable and enjoyable environment for them. 3. Daily Routine: Details about your pet's daily routine—such as feeding times, exercise needs, favorite toys or activities, and any specific commands they respond to—help me maintain continuity and minimize disruption to their usual schedule. Emergency Contacts: Having contact information for your preferred veterinarian and an emergency contact person ensures I can quickly reach out for assistance or guidance if needed. House Rules: Any specific rules or guidelines you have regarding your pet's care, such as whether they're allowed on furniture, preferred walking routes, or restrictions on treats, are important for me to follow to maintain consistency and uphold your expectations. By understanding these key aspects of your pets ahead of time, I can provide personalized care that prioritizes their health, happiness, and well-being while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

A typical day

As someone who works a 9-5 on weekdays but embraces weekends with enthusiasm for outdoor adventures like beach outings, hiking, and running, I'm all about maximizing fun and excitement for the pets I watch. Whether your furry friend is an energetic explorer or a laid-back couch potato, I'm equipped to cater to their preferences. For the adventurous souls, weekends are packed with thrilling activities like beach romps, scenic hikes through nature trails, and invigorating runs in the great outdoors. We'll soak up the sun, breathe in the fresh air, and revel in the freedom of exploration. From splashing in the waves to conquering mountain peaks, every moment is filled with excitement and new experiences. On the flip side, if your pet prefers a more relaxed vibe, I'm more than happy to oblige. We can kick back and unwind with leisurely strolls in the park, and simply lounging at home with a cozy Netflix binge session. Whether it's chasing waves or chasing plot twists, the goal is always the same—to create memorable moments and forge a strong bond with your furry companion. No matter the activity, rest assured that your pet will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve, tailored to their unique personality and preferences. With me, every day is an adventure waiting to happen, and I can't wait to share the fun with your beloved pet!

Pet care experience

I'm a huge animal-lover, which ensures that the dogs I take care of always get the attention they need and crave. The past few years I have been working with dogs (training, dog sitting, volunteering, baths, etc.) and helping people with their dogs. I can offer grooming (no cuts, just bath and nails), plenty of exercise, and most importantly lots of love and attention! All breeds are welcome. I know every dog can be a pain sometimes. That’s why it’s okay if your dog isn’t a perfect angel. If your dog loves to play with other dogs, or needs to play by itself, I can cater to the needs of you and your dog. I can’t wait to meet you and your four legged friend!!!

Beyond being great with dogs, Kayla is a life saver. She genuinely drove across Kane’ohe, during the really bad storms, to make sure my puppies were taken care while I was traveling abroad. I will definitely recommend her to everybody I know!

Kayla was so awesome! I loved that she was able to come by for a quick visit to meet and greet your 3 dogs before we officially booked her to do drop-in visits for a few days while we were off island. She was great with the dogs and sent us pictures and updates everyday after each visit. I definitely would book her again. :)
