I’m currently a medical professional employed in the Columbia community but have pet sat as a side gig for many years as a way to connect with the community, meet other local pet parents, and love on others pets as if they were my own! My schedule varies and is often open the entire day. I would love to fit some pet sitting/walking opportunities into my life when I’m able!

Safety, trust & environment

Taking care of your pets in your home is completely up to your preferred method! Every pet parent is different and I will make sure to tailor that experience to the sitting. Details and communication are the most important thing .

Information Kaylea Y. would like to know about your pet

I like knowing how leash trained a dog is, and if I should expect any intense pulling or jerking, and any triggers your pet may have. I want to keep them as comfortable and safe as possible! For kitties, I like to know their favorite toys, any potential triggers (loud sounds, no petting, etc).

A typical day

I love taking dogs on excursions that involve a lot of energy and exploration! Walking to local dog parks (and human parks), playing catch with tennis balls, grabbing a pup cup (with your permission of course!) There is so much scenery and sheer mileage that the dog and myself never get bored. I have dog bones and treats on hand for after our workout and always make sure they are completed hydrated the whole way through! As for my feline friends, I love keeping them active with wand toys, catnip infused toys, and petting/cuddling (to their temperament of course!).

Pet care experience

My experience with pets started at an early age, as there has never been a time in my life where I haven’t had at least one dog and cat that I absolutely adored and took care of. From fostering kittens to attending the hounds around town walking program for dogs- I’ve had a pretty wide range! I’ve completed a socializing program with my prior local humane society, pet sat many of my friends and family’s’ fur babies- as well as currently taking care of my three sweet cats! I would love to meet your pets and share some love when you aren’t able to! It brings a lot of joy to my life :)

Kaylea was wonderful to work with! She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and really took the time to get comfortable with my animals routines. We appreciated the updates and photos she sent! We will absolutely rebook in the future! I’d highly recommend her

Kaylea was the absolute best sitter for my cat once again! She clearly loves providing Rover services, provides tons of details about how my cat is doing, and I will absolutely continue using her services!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
