Highlights
Pet care experience
Ex-stablehand, foster, cattery vol.
Hi! I have a ton of experience of working with all kinds of animals, ranging from dogs and cats to hamsters and rabbits, ponies, and birds/fowl! If you have any other critters besides a cat or dog you'd like me to take care of, just mark it down as an extra cat/dog and message me what species they are! I've been a foster mum to two one-week old baby kittens about a year ago, and in the past I was a stable hand for ponies, but they also had me take care of their rabbits, geese, chickens, and ducks. After that I volunteered at a cattery for the RSPCA back in London, caring and socialising kittens, adults, and senior cats. I often help my extended family by looking after their 4 dogs (a Lab mix, an American-English Coonhound, and two Chihuahua-terrier mixes), especially if one of them gets ill and needs supervision whilst the family members are at work. I have trained them how to walk out of a room or area by a pointing command, and I've worked with them to be able to calm down after spotting something-or someone-outside the house. Growing up I owned three cats and two chinchillas; my oldest cat lived with me for 18 years.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will come prepared with doggy poop bags, a portable water bowl with a bottle of water. I can take photos regularly upon request (they won't be blurry) and I can also crate dogs or distract them from anything that distresses them. For cats, I will give them their space and make sure to play with them before feeding (unless you ask me not to). I can also take them on walks with a harness (if you have one), but I will not let cats out unless you have a catio. I can clean out their litterbox if needed.
Ratings and reviews
Kayleigh is an amazing dog sitter! Trustworthy, patient, caring, and gentle with my three senior dogs. She has great communication and my dogs loved her! Kayleigh is one of the only people I trust to care for my dogs when I'm away! Shes great!
Kayleigh has helped take care of our very energetic coonhound multiple times. Ensuring that he is fed, loved, and entertained she has always been on time and shown up when she said she would be there. We haven’t trusted her with a key to our home and there has never been any issues. She would be a wonderful addition to your company
Kayleigh is excellent with pets, She's helped raise multiple cats, trained family pets, and is someone I would trust with any animal. I've known her for over 10 years at this point and from my personal experience she is one of the biggest animal lovers I know, someone who goes out of her way everyday to help others and to help keep everything on track. She's smart, well educated and always on time.
