About: Since a young age, I've taken care of many different kinds of dogs, big or small, puppies or elderly, and rescues. I've always had a genuine love for animals, especially dogs, and I can tell dogs feel my energy! I like to play and care for dogs, feeding them, throwing toys, running around, walking them, or just sitting with them. I can handle any type of dog, whether that be needy, high energy, timid rescue, or laid back dogs. I've never met a dog who hasn't warmed up to me fast. I'm currently not working, so I'm practically free almost everyday. Even when I have a lot of stuff in my schedule, I'm still very flexible. I can feed them easily if they have a schedule or specific eating habits. I can make sure they go to the bathroom regularly and stay hydrated. I'll always make them feel safe and secure when I'm caring for them, and help them whenever I can. I pay attention to needs and am quick to act. Walking them is not a problem, and I can go pretty long distances or run to get in some exercise for them.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 and house sat since I was 15!! I was also a kennel tech for a year! This included giving medication, bathing, feeding, and just plain old watching the pets! I know CPR for our fury friends too! I have two dogs of my own as well as four cats so I am completely comfortable with a variety. I am a college student working on my masters online while working another job as well. My schedule is pretty straight forward for me so pet care will fit well as long as I keep my calendar balanced. I am comfortable house sitting for both dogs and cats. I am more than capable of crating or letting pets out to potty. I usually keep treats on me anytime I care for a furry friend. When I walk animals, I usually go for 30 minutes to an hour so that they get the excercise needed. I also have bags for when they do their business on a walk.
“Kylie was great! She made sure to do a meet and greet with us despite a 10 hour drive back home, and made sure to provide regular updates while we were away. She would always promptly reply whenever I sent her a message, and was very reliable. Enki, our dog, has separation anxiety, and she was there with him through the stay. We had a good holiday in large part due to how great she was with our fur babies! I would definitely recommend her and would rebook her!”
