Qayla is an absolute lover of animals! Her 'best buddy' growing up was an Akita. They were practically inseparable and became each other's protector. She really hates abuse of any animals and would be very protective of anyone's pets she's in charge of. I think she would be an excellent dog walker!

I have known Qayla for upwards of five years. For over half of our friendship, I was lucky enough to witness Qayla's bond with her beloved dog, Kilo. I had never witnessed anything quite like the partnership between owner and animal. Qayla treated Kilo like her son, face timing him when she was away, and devoting all her time to him when at home. Qayla has always had a passion for animals that has shined through. That is best demonstrated through her adoption of her first cat, Shakra. When Qayla doubted she could have another pet after the passing of Kilo, that same connection she so easily forges with animals, came about again in the form of an overweight kitty, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Garfield. Unsurprisingly, Qayla was able to build an immediate bond with Shakra and the two have been attached at the hip since. Qayla has shown, time and time again, through her captivation of trust from tea cup pigs named Francis Bacon, to the petting zoo animals of rural Pennsylvania, her connection with the furry friends she encounters is unparalleled. She commands a trust from every creature she meets, through her demonstration of respect and lovingness to them. I trust Qayla with my own four legged friends, Chuck and Smokey, and I know everyone else who encounters her would, too.
