Hello! My names Kaylie!

Pet care experience

Please note: I do not accept dogs under the age of five unless they are brought with a kennel. This policy is in place due to past safety concerns when owners did not disclose how their pets behave when left alone. My goal is to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all animals in my care. Thank you for understanding!! I have years of experience caring for a variety of pets, from young puppies to senior dogs with special needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach to each animal’s unique temperament and requirements. I’m experienced in administering medications, managing special diets, and providing extra care for senior pets who may need more attention and patience. I also have experience with basic puppy training, including housebreaking and crate training. Additionally, having a calm and friendly husky at home helps create a comfortable, social environment for your pet. My priority is ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away!

Kaylie took such wonderful care of our new little puppy, who was away from home for the first time. She made us feel confident he was in good hands, so we didn’t have to worry while we were away. Kalie made sure Benny got lots of love, attention, and care. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter!

Kaylie was so awesome with our Honey! She did incredible at updating us throughout the weekend and sending a ton of cute pics of our pup. Our dog has the best time playing with hers and we knew that Kaylie was keeping a close eye. We will definitely be rebooking! Thanks again:)

Kaylie time and time again shows that she is a reputable and trustworthy sitter. Got in from my flight late and she graciously agreed to watch him another day. My Giuseppe absolutely loves her, her home, and all the love she has to give. Her daily recaps and pics are wonderful messages to get throughout the day. They are so thorough and articulately worded, and it’s good to know my pupper is in great care.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets in my home or yours. Here’s how I ensure the best care for your pet: 1. Safe Environment: My home is pet-proofed, with all hazardous items securely stored out of reach. I have a designated pet area that is clean, quiet, and free from potential dangers. 2. Individual Attention: I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for by providing individualized attention. I take the time to understand their specific needs and preferences, creating a routine that suits them. 3. Supervised Interactions: When pets are interacting, I supervise them closely to ensure a harmonious environment. This is especially important for pets who may be shy or anxious. 4. Trust and Communication: I believe in building a strong relationship with both pets and their owners. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. 5. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained in pet first aid and CPR, and I have a plan in place for emergencies. I keep important contact information, including your vet’s details, readily available. 6. Structured Routine: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime to provide your pet with a sense of stability and comfort. Overall, my goal is to create a safe, trusting, and nurturing environment for your pets, ensuring their well-being and happiness while you’re away.

Dietary Needs: • Specific food preferences, dietary restrictions, or allergies. • Feeding schedule and portion sizes. • Any treats or snacks they are allowed. 3. Behavioral Traits: • Personality traits, including any anxiety or fear triggers. • How they interact with other animals and people. • Any specific likes or dislikes, such as favorite toys or activities. 4. Routine and Preferences: • Daily routines for feeding, walking, and playtime. • Favorite activities, including preferred games or exercise. • Sleeping arrangements and any comfort items they may need. 5.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is filled with fun, engagement, and plenty of affection! Here’s what you can expect: 1. Morning Routine: The day begins with a gentle wake-up, followed by a morning walk or playtime to help the pets burn off some energy. I ensure each pet is fed according to their specific schedule, with fresh water always available. 2. Interactive Play: After breakfast, we dive into playtime! I have a variety of toys and activities to keep them entertained, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive puzzle toys that challenge their minds. 3. Training and Socialization: If your pet is a puppy or requires some training, I incorporate short training sessions using positive reinforcement techniques. For socialization, I ensure they spend time with my two friendly cats and our husky, helping them learn to interact well with other animals. 4. Outdoor Adventures: Depending on the weather, we might head outside for a stroll in the neighborhood or visit a nearby park. This provides an opportunity for fresh air and new sights, which is great for mental stimulation. 5. Rest and Relaxation: After our morning adventures, we take some time to relax. I provide cozy spots for naps and cuddles, ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable. 6. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, we might engage in more play, or I’ll set up a cozy spot by the window for some bird-watching. I’ll also check in on their feeding schedule and administer any medications as needed. 7. Evening Wind Down: As the day winds down, I spend quality time with the pets, whether it’s through gentle brushing, petting, or playing calming music. I’ll ensure they have a quiet space for a good night’s rest. Overall, each day is tailored to the individual needs and preferences of your pet, ensuring they feel loved, engaged, and happy throughout their stay!
