Testimonials

“I knew Kayle was going to be my dog’s best sitter the moment we met her! She’s kind, thoughtful, detail-oriented, professional and has a wealth of experience. I don’t have to worry when Kayle’s watching my akita shepherd, knowing he’s in great hands with her!”

Andrea S., Nevada City

“Kayle takes great care of our dog, Boddington. Boddington has had 2 back surgeries and Kayle took the time to learn how to pick him and help him to go outside. Her attention gives Boddington the security he needs to know he is being handled properly, and gives us peace of mind that he is being taken care of.” Rachel L.

“Kayle has been such a lifesaver! She has helped us out on several occasions at the last minute. On the rare occasion that she will be out of town, she has connected us with a colleague to make sure our pet sitting needs are still met! Kayle’s communication throughout our time away is always excellent, and I never have to worry about our girl Finn when we are out of town. When we return home we can tell that Finn has been comfortable and while we were away. I honestly don’t know what we would do without Kayle – she is amazing!”  – Erica M., Grass Valley

“I have been using Kayle Martin as our pet sitter for the last few years. I am so pleased that she is our sitter, and I know if the pets could talk they would say so too! She does everything you would expect a pet sitter to do; feed and clean up after the pets, walk them, refresh the water bowls, lock up the house when she leaves, etc. Then, she goes above and beyond and plays with them, gives them loving attention, and sends pictures of them with other communication to you right away, and leaves you a written summary with any details you might like to know when she has finished her visit! Kayle is very professional in her services, her pricing is very fair, and she’s very good about communicating with you promptly and returning your messages to her. I highly recommend While You’re Away Pet & Home Care by Kayle Martin.”

“We have found the ideal petsitter. Our animals love Kayle. She makes us comfortable during our trips by staying in touch and sending us photos. She is caring & dependable, and helping around the house when we need it. She is great!”  – Donna, Grass Valley

“Kayle is the most reliable person! She is also extremely caring, conscientious and detail-oriented. She will take out her notebook, ask you questions and write things down that you would never think to tell her, but you’re so glad she asked! I was on the East Coast when there was a fire in town. Kayle contacted me, told me about it (I hadn’t even heard), worked through various contingency plans with me and made sure my fur babies were OK until the danger had passed. She provides frequent updates and will even include pictures. And your pets will love her!”  – Maura P., Grass Valley
