Kayna was fantastic with our two dogs. One is a very shy rescue who normally takes weeks if not longer to warm up to people, but Kayna bonded with her in a just a few days. I could tell the dogs had a great time with her and were very well loved.

We are so grateful and lucky to have found Kayna. She is great with our cats and we trust that she gives them a lot of love and care. It feels so nice to be able to leave town for work and have someone we know we can rely on. She takes great care of our house too! I definitely would recommend Kayna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter, who provides extra TLC to the fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

I have accumulated some repeat clients that have provided me the opportunity to spend so much quality together that we have a very special bond. One repeat client calls me and their dog best friends. Another clients dog I have spent multiple holidays including Christmas with. I've cared for dogs over years that have gotten to their old age and have needed to be put down. I cherish these long-term bonds.

Information Kayna S. would like to know about your pet

I cannot walk dogs who pull on the leash because I have a back injury. I do not feel comfortable staying at houses with cameras inside. I have a questionnaire I will send you when I receive the request. Please fill it out and submit, before our scheduled meet and greet.

A typical day

We start the day with morning cuddles, coffee, and breakfast (the coffee is only for me). I love to bring the dogs to the beach or nice trails for walks. I'm happy to play with them in the yard, or go for long strolls by the house. Additionally, I wave my wand and turn them into models at least once a day while I snap some portrait mode photos to send to their loving owners who miss them.
