Experiencia de Kayla H.

Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. My Grandma was very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language. I started pet sitting when I was in elementary school, when our neighbors would go on vacation I would care for their cat and fish. I have had many beloved pets growing up, including; cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, parakeets, lizards, hamsters, and a mouse. Currently, I have a previously feral, calico cat named Baby who is in the above picture with me, a beta fish, african dwarf frog, nerite snail, and a goldfish.

As a pet sitter and business owner, no two days are ever the same. When I’m describing my life to people at the dog park, I always say “some mornings you wake up in a beachside mansion with a dog trained by Caesar Milan, and other mornings you wake up in a trailer with a dog taking a dump on the pillow, right next to your face, literally.” That’s exactly what I love so much about it, though. While everyone I grew up with is going to the same cubicle, staring at the same screen day-in and day-out, I get PAID to hang out with DOGS while exploring new places and learning about peoples lives. I know, it sounds crazy, but this has been my life for almost six years, and oh boy do I have stories… Most mornings, I’m startled awake around 7am by one dog kicking me in the ribs, while another leaps on top of me. I like to take the dogs for a nice walk in the mornings to get the mind working and the day going right. It’s not unusual for my days to start as early as 4am, depending on how many drop-in visits I have scheduled. After our walk, I head out to do my first morning visits, and then to pick up dogs for our daily play groups. Most clients choose drop-in visits of some kind, so those take up the majority of my day. Typically, a visit is 30 minutes and a client will either get three a day (morning, midday, evening) or will get one midday visit. The visits themselves vary from playing with puppies to scooping horse stalls and everything in-between. I care for all animals and my services are fully customizable, specifically because I never want two days to be the same. Over years of doing these drop-in visits, I’ve learned how to administer any kind of medicine you can name, I’ve been trained on how to deal with aggressive animals, I’ve helped birth puppies, and I’ve been with several dogs as they crossed the rainbow bridge. I’ve also become pretty decent at basic training and basic grooming in the process. When you spend all day hanging out with animals, you just become adept on talking their language in general.Pet sitting isn’t just my job it’s my passion :)
