Kaylyn can care for
Availability
I’m currently a full-time student studying Applied Behavior Analysis and work as a Registered Behavior Technician, so I bring a strong understanding of behavior, patience, and consistency into how I care for dogs. I am available in the evenings during the week and anytime during the weekend.

About Kaylyn C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every dog like my own and follow all instructions closely—because I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet.
Information Kaylyn C. would like to know about your pet
Please provide any information regarding your dog’s routines, medical needs, or behavioral considerations such as reactivity. I prioritize following instructions carefully and tailoring my care to ensure a safe, consistent, and positive experience for your dog.
A typical day
Whether your dog loves long, structured walks, playtime to burn off energy, or calm companionship and gentle attention, I always adjust to their individual needs and personality. I take the time to understand what makes your dog comfortable, happy, and stress-free so they have the best experience possible while you’re away.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Kaylyn! 🐾 I specialize in walking large and reactive dogs and making sure they feel safe, structured, and well cared for on every walk. I’m a dog mom to two German Shepherds, including a large reactive male—so I’m very experienced with pulling, reactivity, and managing dogs in real-world situations. I’m confident handling all sizes, breeds, and behavior levels. I also have hands-on experience with: - Puppies (raising and early care) - Dogs with medical needs (medications, subcutaneous fluids, strict routines)
Reviews
Kaylyn took wonderful care of our two Yorkies, Sasha and Malia, while we were away on a short vacation. She was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. The girls absolutely loved her, and we had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely be booking Kaylyn again!
Kaylyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and ensured Chloe was enjoying her stay while getting in a good mix of cuddles and exercise. I cannot recommend her enough to take care of your fur babies!
Awesome person. Came over to do a meet before just to make sure I was comfortable and everything went smooth. I appreciate her communication and felt safe with her in my house
Kaylyn Castillo has a genuine love for animals. She has great character and is very trustworthy! She is very attentive to the dogs she takes care of. She ensures the safety and well being of all the dogs she has walked and taken care of. She has a great work ethic and is always punctual!
