Pet sitting is my full-time profession and passion, alongside my work as a freelance artist. I have professional experience in animal husbandry; I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy doing both traditional and digital art; my favorite are pet portraits! If there is downtime while I am petsitting, I’m usually doing art!

Safety, trust & environment

In both my own home and when caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owners instructions, because I understand this routine is in place to keep them comfortable, and healthy. This includes using toys, treats and games to make their day rewarding and fun. Maintaining a clean environment is a top priority; food and water bowls are washed regularly and I always make sure each pet is fed according to their specified guidelines.

Information Kylie Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there’s any additional information I should be aware of, including health issues, disabilities, or special instructions for your pet. Thank you!

A typical day

I love keeping dogs engaged, happy, through play, training games, and exploration. My favorite activity involves hiding treats and letting them use their keen senses of smell to track them down it’s a game that’s enjoyable and accessible for dogs of all abilities, including those who are blind or deaf. Structured walks provide additional mental enrichment and a chance for dogs to experience their surroundings, while more relaxed, free walks enable them to follow their curiosity at their own pace. Every booking is tailored to your pet’s unique needs, preferences, and abilities, ensuring they feel comfortable, engaged, and well cared for during their time with me.

The Canine Faerie•Enriched Dog Care

Pet care experience

I have over 7 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from small breed seniors to high-energy breeds. Jinger (My own pup) is a 6-year-old Female Malinois-Lab mix, so I’m especially familiar with energetic dogs who need structure, attention, and enrichment to thrive.  Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, rescues, and dogs with unique needs—including leash reactivity, anxiety, and medical routines. The wonderful folks at Southside pet shop had taught me Animal Husbandry by the book (literally). During my time there I had taken care of a wide variety of pets in a professional setting. I comfortable caring cats, and exotic pets too- I am more than at home in a multi-pet household.  I ALWAYS approach every pet with patience and empathy. I understand that every animal is different, so I change my care-style (never quality!) to match their needs—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles or medical needs.  If you need drop-in visits, house sitting, or just someone to give your dog an afternoon potty break, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and loved. You can expect daily updates and plenty of photos, Rest assured!

Kylie was amazing! She took very good care of Westin and was very patient with him. She sent lots of updates and I would highly recommend her!

Kylie was absolutely wonderful with my dog and two feral cats that I care for. She’s kind, responsive, and kept me up to date on everything happening with my pup and home. She left my house clean and even washed and changed my sheets! I trust her completely with my babies.

Kai is extremely compassionate, conscientious and prudent. Animals are naturally drawn to her, and she is good at understanding their moment-to-moment needs (as well as their individual struggles, making her an effective trainer as well!)
