“Kayla took Luna on a lovely walk while I was gone for the day! Luna loved her walk and was definitely tired for the rest of the day. Kayla was very communicative and even arrived early after checking it was okay to do so!”

About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals. Throughout my life I have had many animals from birds and Guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Koda, my youngest dog was completely trained by me in German commands. Working with dogs to learn new things is one of my favorite things to do. My oldest dog, Motley is a senior and the past couple years I have become very educated and trained on administration of medication and post surgery care. With experience from my own pets, I have many reliable references I have gained over the years that can vouch for me on my loving, dedicated, and superior care with their fur babies.

About: Animals have always brought so much joy to my life. We currently have three amazing rescue dogs. Whenever I talk about adding another to the mix, my husband jokes that we can—as long as we get rid of one first! So, I figured I’d hack the system a bit by offering to help out with your pets instead. Now that my kids are all of driving age, I’ve found myself with a lot more free time. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience helping family and friends with their pets, and I’d love the chance to help you out too.

I will follow your specific institution when caring for your pet. I know how much our animals mean to us, and I will care for, love and spoil every pet I care for like they’re part of the family—because that’s exactly how I’d want someone to treat mine.
