PROFESSIONAL PET CARE

Pet care experience

I have extensive pet care experience, having cared for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and various other small pets. I’m also very experienced with puppies and caring for elderly and/or special needs dogs, aggressive, and skittish pups. Building strong bonds with pets and providing them with a safe and nurturing environment is always my top priority. I am skilled in providing daily feeding, light grooming, and exercise routines to ensure the well-being and happiness of your fur babies. I have administered medications when necessary and have experience in handling emergency situations. I am committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners and providing updates on their pets' health and behavior. **ATTENTION** PLEASE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BRING ANY SICK (CONTAGIOUS) DOG HERE [pre-existing conditions exempt] - Pet parents are no longer allowed inside while other’s babies are under my care - you are more than welcome walk your pet inside if it is ONLY your pet here but it can be extremely stressful for some pups to have strangers come in so please, respect my rules. I understand pet parents want to see that their babies are being cared for in a safe environment; that’s what meet and greets are for. 🩷 - Please let me know if your dog is free roaming (does pees and poops unleashed in the yard) I live in an apartment and will only be able to walk your dog. - PLEASE BE MINDFUL AND RESPECTFUL OF MY TIME AND BOUNDARIES. Requests for price adjustments, late night messaging, coming into my home without any cause, etc. is completely unacceptable. THANK YOU

Thank you for hosting our dog last minute! We were in a bind at a hotel and needed someone to watch her last for a wedding. She responded right away and was willing and eager to take our girl did the day. Our dog seemed very happy. Thank you so much!

I hardly have words. Our girl went into heat right before our trip therefore our other rover caretaker couldn’t take her. Kaylen stepped up last minute and reassured us. Beyond that Kaylen and her partner took incredible care of our girl. They even went out and bought more to make sure Matilda had enough diapers to make it through her heat cycle. To leave your baby with such kind people is such a peace of mind and Kaylen exceeds all expectations.

Safety, trust & environment

From providing nutritious meals to regular exercise and enrichment, I prioritize their physical and mental health. Equally vital is the emotional aspect, as I make sure to shower them with love, attention, and a safe environment. Ultimately, pet care is a responsibility I cherish deeply, knowing that it directly impacts their quality of life. My building has a small enclosed yard, and my neighborhood is safe and very dog-friendly. Please notify me of specific measures that need to be taken during walks I.e short leash, cross the street to avoid other dogs, walk slowly, etc.

Information Kaylen D. would like to know about your pet

PLEASE be honest about your pups, whether they’re destructive, have separation anxiety, or whatever the case may be. I have to know what I’m getting into and how best to care for your pup so please, don’t leave anything out! Potty schedule, temperament, and feeding are most important for me to know. Any information you can think of, aside from the profile notes, that will help your babies be most comfortable during their stay I am willing to accept as well. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any special requests or accommodations that need to be made, there is always a way!

A typical day

From playing intense games of fetch and tug-of-war to going on adventurous hikes and various field trips together, every moment is filled with laughter and joy. I love engaging their curiosity with puzzle toys and different levels of enrichment, teaching them new tricks, and the best part is showering them with affection and cuddles; creating lifelong memories and a strong bond with these adorable furry babies. I have plenty of space in my apartment and a bunch of toys and treats so no need to load up; unless your pup has allergy specifics or favorite toys of their own. Picky eaters will not go hungry! I have all kinds of low ingredient toppers to encourage during feeding time. *Typical schedule* 6am-8am potty&breakfast 8am-12pm play time 12pm-2pm afternoon walks + snack 2pm-5pm nap 5pm-8pm potty&dinner 9pm bed *PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE/CALL ME AFTER 10PM UNLESS FOR EMERGENCY - PLEASE REST ASSURED YOUR BABIES WILL BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND IN BED*

Pet care is of utmost importance to me as it ensures the well-being and happiness of our beloved fur babies. I work along side my trusted partner, Peyton, to assure that any pets in my care are fully attended to. This means that no pets are ever left alone or put in a compromised position. Additionally, I work at a nearby veterinary hospital; in any emergency your pet has access to some of the best vet care in Los Angeles.
