I will treat your pets like family!
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Kaylin and I am a 30-year-old PhD student. I have a lot of experience with house and pet sitting as well as pet training. I have mostly worked with dogs and horses, but have professionally cared for dozens of other species of animals as well. I have my own dog, who is an angel, and I like to claim some credit for that! I've also had cats all my life and love to care for them as well. I am very responsible, responsive, friendly and happy to follow any directions you have for me! Why you should hire me: I am very experienced at animal care and training! I am friendly, reliable, responsive, and diligent in my work and will follow every direction or request you have for me! I am mostly available on weekdays. I mostly work from home and am a grad student so am quite flexible! If it is a last minute/same day request, I may have to modify the time you request by 30 minutes to an hour to accommodate travel to and from your home and other bookings. Unfortunately, I cannot provide home services at this time but am happy to accommodate your furry friends by taking them to parks, on walks, and playing with them in or outside!
Reviews
Kaylin was able to handle a very last minute request for a drop in and was great with my nervous pup!
So kind, totally understood our pup and he even tried to follow her out the door! ;.;
Kaylin was so communicative! She provided all the details of her visit with our pups . Can’t wait to have her back
Kaylin was excellent all around! Quick responses and easy to communicate with. Super punctual. And she is obviously a true dog lover. We were a bit nervous leaving our dog, Wags, in a hotel room while we went to a show at Red Rocks for a few hours, but thanks to Kaylin everything went super smoothly and we had a great time. If we lived here, we'd use her all the time. Thanks Kaylin -- and Wags says hi!

Safety, trust & environment
I am conscientious about COVID and am happy to ensure that myself and your home are safe. I know animals and their cues and will pay careful attention to any surprise needs your pet may have and will contact you if something seems concerning or if there is an issue.
Home
Information Kaylin C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or disabilities. I am very used to these types of details as my own pet requires consistent medication, physical therapy, and even massage! Happy to accommodate your pet's needs.
A typical day
Within the bounds of your pet's abilities, I will take them for walks, runs, fetch at the park, play time in the yard, tug 'o' war, and any other games your dog enjoys or you'd like them to learn. Depending on the location, I can take your dog to the park, lake, creek, dog park - whichever you prefer and are comfortable with. I'm also happy to just keep your pet company if they're lower-energy and prefer cuddles and lots of pets. If you would like, I can also help with training by reinforcing good behaviors and help teach them basics like walking on the leash, heel, sit, stay, lie down, and even some tricks (I've taught my dog "play dead", "twirl", "roll-over", "paw", and some other fun behaviors). As for kitties, I'm all about earning their trust, cuddles, and playfulness!

Availability
I am grad student working remotely from home and have a flexible schedule, especially during the week! Therefore, I often can accommodate last-minute/same day requests. A couple of details about scheduling: - On Tuesdays, starting August 24, 2021, I am not available after 1:00 pm - I may request to modify the time you request by 30 minutes to an hour to accommodate other bookings and travel time to and from your home (especially for same day/list minute bookings)
