Passionate Pre-Veterinary Grad
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Kayleigh and I am a recent college grad looking to gain as much experience with animals as I can before applying to veterinary school in a few years. A little about me: I studied zoology and pre-veterinary medicine with a little animal science mixed in at Michigan State University. During my time in undergrad, I worked for a small veterinary clinic and I currently work at a larger veterinary hospital where I hope to gain even more experience (and pay off my student loans so I can eventually go to vet school!) Aside from my clinical experience, I have worked for Rover for several years and even maintained my own private pet sitting business before I moved to Oregon while in college so my experience petsitting includes both breadth and depth. I have two pets of my own, both a dog and cat and thus I have personal ownership experience and understand the needs and attention pets require to be happy. I grew up in a family that bred German Shepherds so I have many years of behavior knowledge and I even conducted my own feline behavioral research for HSUS in California. I can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned from my experiences to your pet! I provide individualized care for every client and would love to hear about the best ways I can provide your little (or not-so-little) one(s) the best care possible so send me a message and let’s get started! :)
Reviews
Kayleigh is great and our pup Otis loves her!
Kayleigh does a great! She is always very communicative while we are away so you never have to wonder how your fur babies are doing.
We absolutely love Kayleigh!!! We will always continue to use her for our doggie sitting. Shes amazing with hagrid and treats him like her own! We couldn't ask for anyone better to show him love and watch him while we are gone. Not only did she take care of him but also our house, she left it clean and ready for us to come home. Anyone would be lucky to have her! <3
Kayleigh always does a great job with our pup!

Skills
Information Kayleigh G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to be aware of their age, temperament and any behaviour “ticks” so I know what to expect from the animal and what triggers their insecurities. I also need to know if they are on any medications and their dosages. I have no breed preferences, I love them all. P.S. I have lots of experience training puppies so, if that is something you’re interested in, let me know.
A typical day
If there are trails near by, I would love to take toys and explore the surrounding area, i’m new to Portland so any recommendations for new running/walks trails are welcome and appreciated! I love the outdoors and I strongly believe that dogs need time in the day to run and play and explore. So, when in my care, I will make sure your pup gets this. I would love to take a dog to a beach to play in water if the weather permits. But, if your pet is more of a snuggler, I am a big fan of movies and cuddles too! I'm open to any suggestions from the owner on how I can make my time with your pup the best it can be.
