About: Dog care has been a well known trade of mine for over 15 years. I am best with smaller-medium dogs, unless your big dog is a good walker! You can thank my sister’s lab for that last comment LOL. I am studying law, so I have flexible summers. My only job is remote, so I am able to work often. I do not plan to leave the Columbia area for long periods of time this summer. While my home is already occupied by my three cats, I will do whatever you feel necessary to respectfully watch your pets in your home. I offer zoom/skype/FaceTime calls during my stay if you ever want to see how your pet is doing!

About: Love living in the area, I have always enjoyed spending time outside in all seasons. On any kind of day, I would love to give your family member a walk/run in the neighborhood or at a nearby park/path or whichever they prefer to get some fresh year and exploration through the smells/sights. For the playful pup, I love to run around and play with them until the sun goes down. I have experienced many years with easy and difficult dogs as being a pet owner myself, finding love and care for all creatures all life from dogs all the way to my 3-year-old goldfish. I can not wait to meet your furry family member and give them all the pets and love they fully deserve!

Kaylee W.
“One thing I’ve always loved about Kaylee is her love for animals. She’s trustworthy, caring, hardworking and always lends a helping hand even without being asked. She has babysat my dog so many times. Finding someone you trust to watch your fur babies can be stressful but I know every time she’s watched Dodo she will take care of him and love him like he’s her own. Dodo is a big yellow lab and can be a handful haha but she has always been so reliable and does such a good job with him. Plus he loves her and is comfortable with her and as a dog mom that’s the most important thing to me. Kaylees love for all animals, no matter what breed, shape or size is special and you can always count on her to be there for your fur babies just like how she’s been there for mine:)”
