About: I am currently a senior at Louisiana Tech University majoring in Animal Science.

About: I grew up helping take care of my own pets. Not only have i taken care of my own pets but I have also helped take care of my friends' pets. I feed, walk, play, and care for dogs and cats. I currently work remote 8 am to 5 pm and have an hour break that I can take any time of the day. That break would allow time for walking your pet. I am available early mornings to walk your pet. There are a couple evenings (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) where I have other commitments but I would definitely try and work with your pet schedule the best I can. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide care for pets in my place since my apartment does not allow pets. I can however provide overnight care for your pet in the comfort of your home (during the week and during the weekend). I will make sure that your pet is cared for as you would care for them. I kindly ask that you write down instructions on how to care for your pet, if you feel the need to do so. I understand that pet care varies from pet to pet. I appreciate you greatly for this.
About: Out of my family when growing up, even when little, I have been the primary one to care for our dogs. I would bathe them, let them out, train them, walk them, etc. I'd even go out of my way to help those of friends as well. I have a huge care for pets and making sure they're as loved as you make them feel. I'm currently in college at LA Tech, but only have three classes this quarter! My latest classes are from 2-5, everyday, but anytime after 5 PM works! I also only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursday, so any check ins early-on on those days works as well. Besides that, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I have the 2-5 class, but also a class at 9:30 AM, so only afternoons work those days. All weekends should work for me! While I can not take care of your pet in my own home, I find being able to bring them comfort and care in their own environment where they are used to being to help them feel truly cared for. I know how lonesome our pets can be when we are gone, whether they have another person caring for them or not, so I like to go above and beyond to give them their normal care and love so things won't feel too differently for them for the time being.

I love providing dogs with the best playtime opportunities, utilizing the vast outdoor space on the farm for fun and exercise, and ensuring cats have safe, stimulating indoor and outdoor areas to explore.
“Kaylah was the best!!! She saved me at the very last minute. I had to find someone to walk my dog Bentley, as I couldn’t due to serious migraine that in was hoping would be over by 5:30. It wasn’t… so at exactly 5:25 Kaylah agreed to come walk Bentley at 6:00. I can’t thank her enough for saving me and allowing Bentley to get the exercise and break he needed. He seemed to enjoy it. She was great! If I ever need a sitter or walker again, Kaylah would be my first choice!”

Trevor M.
“From knowing his personal care of watching and walking my dogs in the past I can truly testify to the level of love and affection he has for the animals. I have an over weight dachshund-schnauzer mix and a lab mix who is battling with cancer. When watching my pets Trevor made sure to push but still go at my small dogs pace to make sure she got the attendant she needed and gave my lab his medication on time as well as recommended some routines to help him with his struggles. Excellent care, excellent person.”
Isabelle S.
“Isabelle has been our house and dog sitter multiple times. She comes from an upstanding family (her Dad is a Sheriff) and a sweet mom and little sister. Regarding the house: She gets mail, packages, waters the plants and is extremely fastidious with cleaning behind herself and the dog. She is extremely responsible not only for house sitting but especially so with our "geriatric dog" (14 yr old Dachshund with multiple health issues). She gives him his medicine, promptly feeds him at the designated time and helps him with his mobility issues as well. But most of all, being a dog owner herself, she is very sweet and loving to our Baxter and spends all of her time off and spends the night with him to keep him company. Safe, reliable, clean and loving are the best ways to describe her...”
