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.

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)

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

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
