Pet care experience

I'll treat your dog like my own!

Hello! Thank you for considering me to help with your furry family member(s)! As a huge animal lover, and proud parent of a very loved (and spoiled) German Shepherd (Delightful Dog Certified), I understand the value in knowing that your pet is in good hands when you are away. Since starting my pet-sitting business 6+ years ago, I’ve built a strong and happy list of repeat customers because I care for pets as if they were my own. For me, that means getting to know the needs of your pets, working to make sure they are comfortable and feel like family when around, and sending them home happy (and hopefully tired). And also regular updates and pictures for your peace of mind! Both me and my fiancé work from home, so we have flexible schedules and will always be with your pet. We spend many hours a day making sure our German Shepherd is satisfied 😂 so I’m very comfortable working with larger/higher-energy dogs who need longer walks, frisbee, fetch, etc. But I’m also experienced with smaller/older dogs and am able to accommodate their needs. We also love to offer mentally-stimulating games, such as food puzzles (“find-it” is a household favorite), if that is something that you are open to! Beyond that, you can expect plenty of cuddles, pets, and potty breaks. We like to receive a bunch of pictures/videos any time we board our dog, so that’s the same we do for you! If you look through our profile, you should find plenty of past picture updates..whether they are sleeping or on a hike, so you can know what they are up to and how they’re doing. You can expect quick, active communication from us throughout the process. I’m here and happy to chat if you have any questions for me, and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged family soon!

Safety, trust & environment

I'll look after your pet exactly how I would hope someone would look after my pup (making sure their water bowls are always clean/full, providing plenty of potty breaks, keeping an eye on them, keeping a safe distance from stranger dogs on walks, etc.). I'm a very detailed and cautious person, and will be looking out for the well-being of your pet. And will also make sure they get plenty of attention and love!

Kayla did an amazing job with our two dogs. She's all smiles with them and totally at "home" with them as if they are her own. Glad we found her.

Baxter loved his walks with Kayla. I will request her next time I can't take him on a good brisk walk.

My two cats loved their time with Kayla! Kayla took such excellent care of my kitties while my husband and I were out of town over the new year holiday into 2023. Kayla is responsive, communicative, and very caring for our animals. She took care of them over a major holiday (New Year's Eve / New Year's), even when the power went out due to major storms in the area. Thank you, Kayla!

Kayla did a great job watching Roxy, even taking her out in the pouring rain and coming up with some indoor games when the weather didn’t cooperate. She was really communicative, send lots of pictures and messages, and came over for a meet and greet ahead of time. Thanks so much for taking care of our sweet girl!

Schedule

We work from home, and live in a house with a fenced backyard. Here, your pets will never be left unattended and will receive plenty of cuddles, potty breaks, etc. We treat animals like family so allow them to roam and lay on furniture (however, we can adjust to match the rules/standards you put in place for your pet). I will be readily available for any questions/concerns and am a firm believer in sending updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is having a good time.

Please let us know your dogs routine, exercise & feeding schedule/needs, and any behaviors or preferences we should be aware of (likes/dislikes, reactive triggers, preferences for interacting with other animals or people, etc.). Also, any medication or health needs we need to be aware of. We want to make sure to keep your pets as safe and comfortable as possible when they are with us!
