“Kyla is the perfect sitter — responsible, communicative, and incredibly caring! I truly appreciated how she went above and beyond to care for my pup, Jessi. I was away on a 5-day trip, and for the first time, I didn’t worry about Jessi’s care. Kyla paid close attention to all of Jessi’s needs and made sure she was comfortable throughout her stay. Her thoughtful daily updates meant so much to me. I had such a wonderful experience and can’t recommend Kyla enough!”
