If you're dropping off for day care, we'll be hanging out in a bright sunny bungalow with windows, yoga mats, cozy blankets, and a front porch. We'll do a morning walk (if dropped off before 8:30), 25 min walk at 11:30, and a 40 min at 4:30pm. If I'm sitting on the weekend, we'll hop in the car and go on beach/forest adventures, depending on weather and your preferences.

Pet care experience

Hey, I’m Kaya! I’m an English teacher and part-time organic landscaping/gardener. I’m lucky to have a flexible schedule that lets me care for your pets, too. I teach online from home Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I’m on-site Tuesday and Thursday — just a quick 3-minute drive away. My classes are short (2.5 hours, twice a day), so your pet gets lots of attention: a solid morning walk, a midday visit (with playtime or an ocean loop), and a longer walk in the afternoon. My partner, Patrick, and I live in a cozy bungalow on a quiet street, just steps from the ocean, with easy access to wooded trails. We have an unfenced yard with a safe leash setup for quick breaks during the day, and we love getting out for fresh-air adventures together. We’re also happy to offer evening walks or jogs after 5pm—perfect for active fuzzbuds who need an extra outing. If you’re planning a trip, we’d love to be your pet’s home away from home. You can expect lots of care, cuddles, and calm, attentive energy, so you can travel worry-free.

Moose had a great experience! He had lots of time outside and got to go swimming several times. We got great photo updates of his time away. Would recommend!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Molly’s puppy sitter, Kelly. She was such a lovely, calm and caring person, and Molly felt safe and comfortable with her almost immediately. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Molly was in such kind and gentle hands. Highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful !! I worked our of town for a week and left my dog with Kelly. She took great care of my dog with walking feeding and playing . She sent a couple pictures and was very easy to communicate with. No issues at all and if i have another trip out of town She will be first on my list to take care of my pooch ! If I could give 10 stars and 2 thumbs up I would
