Kyla is wonderful. I am in town working for 5 weeks and needed someone to walk my boy. I reached out to others but after talking to Kyla and then meeting her she was definitely the right one. She walks Mr P Monday-Friday (even in the snow), gives him treats, and lots of extra love. He loves her! Kyla is also VERY knowledgeable about dogs and can answer any questions you may have. She has a lovely pack of fur babies and they are as wonderful as Kyla. I’ve had many walkers but she is #1. You can’t go wrong, and the price is definitely right!
Response from PlayPals Pet Care
"It's certainly been a pleasure helping you with sweet Mr. P as needed. He's a GOOD boy and I feel honored to have been able to meet both of you and spend this quality time with Mr. P even if only for this short time. Such a joy! Thank you for the wonderful review and sharing your positive experiences with others who may be looking for quality, personalized care for their furry family members!"

We are thrilled with PlayPals Pet Care! Kyla is very professional and flexible, navigating around our crazy work schedules to ensure that our dog is well cared for. She recognizes that all animals are unique and tailors her visits to fit our pup's needs. Duke loved seeing Kyla and we always new that he was in excellent hands when she was taking care of him.

Fantastic. Very trustworthy and caring. Always spot on with schedules and writes a daily journal of the visits. Also sends me texts with short videos and pictures that really put my mind at ease. I have been using PlayPals for years and can't imagine using anyone else.

My dog, Ziggy, has been a client of Play Pal Pet Care for over 3 years. Both he and I are extremely satisfied with the service the company provides. He loves being boarded at the facility when I travel and is always very excited when it is time for his daily walk. I would highly recommend this service!!!!!
Response from PlayPals Pet Care
"Thanks for the PAW-some review!! I appreciate it so much. I LOVE your dog and you know I do. I treat and care for him as if he's one of my own. Happy to help you and your dog as always. We actually celebrate working together 4 years as of this current month of January! Time flies especially when things go so smoothly for all working together. My pleasure! And, I adore the photo you shared here that I took of your sweet, handsome boy. Thank you, Kyla, PlayPals Pet Care"

Kyla has cared for my girls for 5 years. She is truly a part of our family now. My dogs are my children and I have complete confidence that Kyla takes better care of them than probably even I do. She always has and does goes above and beyond. There is no one else I would trust!

Fantastic. Kyla is very well organized, knows animals very well, has lots of hints that help solve behavior issues. She is honest, prompt, ard caring. She's been my dog walker for over 2 years. Any size animal, and breed, and any type of pet.
Response from PlayPals Pet Care
"Thanks for taking the time to post a review. It's truly appreciated! I take a lot of pride in my work with animals so I'm glad it shows and you value that in my services. There are a lot of good, fun memories with your girls over the past couple of years and looking forward to more. This picture of them in their sunglasses you're sharing here that I took made my day to see again. They are a HOOT!!! :) Kyla, PlayPals Pet Care"

Pet Pals is an extraordinary pet care service. Our girls (two dachshunds) absolutely adore Kyla. They recognize her car and are very excited to see her. She spends a good amount of time with our girls every time she comes. She is professional, caring, loves what she does. In short, I highly recommend her services. They do not disappoint.
Response from PlayPals Pet Care
"Thank you for this positive review! I've enjoyed getting to know your family and taking care of the girls as needed for the past 4 years. My pleasure as you know I LOVE your 2 girls!!

Looking forward to coming again soon as scheduled to care for them while you're away. Kyla, PlayPals Pet Care"

We take our beloved Golden Retriever to Kyla when we travel and we don't ever worry about the quality of care he will receive. Kyla has been there for us when our dog-son has been robust and when he's been very ill - she recently helped nurse him through a tough bout of pancreatitis. We know that when he's with her he will get his food and his play, his rest and his comfort and that he will be safe and happy. Kyla also used to do home visits for our 17 year old cat, again proving to be organized, thorough, and trustworthy. It's a big leap of faith when you give someone the care of your fur kids and the keys to your home - Kyla has never betrayed our trust in the 4 years we've used her and we always have confidence that she will give stellar care.
Response from PlayPals Pet Care
"Thank you so much for taking the time to post this Angie's List review to share your experiences of my pet care services with others. Your furry family members are good kids and I ALWAYS truly enjoy caring for them. It's been a wonderful experience getting to know your family and learning what keeps them happy when you're enjoying time away. In fact, your Dog-Son just had his lunch and is peacefully sprawled out next to me napping the afternoon away on a full belly. We'll probably have to step outside in a bit for some fresh air and a little bit of fetch to keep his mind at ease. :) Oh, and I LOVE the photo you attached that I took of him during his last visit with us around the holidays. Thanks again! Kyla, PlayPals Pet Care"

PlayPals has been an excellent service for our dog Emmy. The service is reliable and flexible. We have a secure feeling about the care of our dog when PlayPals is involved. We get regular communications about our dog when traveling and we trust all if the services offered by Klya and PlayPals. Our dog Emmy thinks of Klya as her 3rd parent!
Response from PlayPals Pet Care
"Thank you for the GREAT review! It's been my pleasure to work with you guys and especially help care for Miss Emmy for the past 3 1/2 years for regular midday walks when you're gone to work all day long and then also pet sitting while you're enjoying time out of town. I consider her one of my own and care for her the same as I would my very own pack at home. I appreciate this Angie's List review! Kyla Slone, PlayPals Pet Care"

We decided to take a last minute trip over fall break. We called Kyla based on her existing reviews and she graciously worked us in. Our dog (Libby) had not been socialized with other dogs much before our visit and she has some separation anxiety. Kyla did a great job of making Libby feel at home. She has a big fenced in back yard and before we knew it, Libby was running around like one of the pack. Kyla sent us pictures and updates while we were away, which gave us great peace of mind. Libby seemed much more relaxed when we returned home...I think she really enjoyed her time at Kyla's. We would highly recommend PlayPals...Kyla is very thorough and professional and you can tell she loves her guests!
Response from PlayPals Pet Care
"It was a pleasure to meet you all and your sweet girl Libby, too. I'm so glad it worked out where I could help last minute as well. Libby was somewhat unsure and timid at first to be expected since she is a shy one, but I agree it didn't take her long to join the pack and get busy exploring and learning her way around. Your decision to socialize Libby more with new places, other humans and especially other dogs is very wise because dogs truly benefit mentally and emotionally just like humans from these varying experiences. Happy to help in the future and already looking forward to seeing her again as scheduled to stay with us for the Christmas holiday break! Thank you so much for taking the time to post a review on Angie's List. Kyla, PlayPals Pet Care"

We were gone for 2 weeks and PlayPals visited with our cat once per day. The cat had been suffering from a stomach problem. Our vet had prescribed some different foods, but nothing seemed to help. The cat still vomited almost daily. Kyla worked with our cat trying different foods and established a set routine with a very specific diet. We have been home for over a week, the cat is happy and healthy and has not been sick at all. Hurrah and thanks for Kyla's persistence and good work.

"That's just PURR-fect news! It's always a pleasure to consult with clients when I can share knowledge learned and make some difference.

Thank you so much for the kind review and for taking this time to share your experiences with others who may also be looking for similar pet sitting services so their kitties can stay home in their very own environment where they are most comfortable while their families enjoy time away.

Kyla is very thorough and appears to truly want to provide the best care for your pet. She is very organized and I had no doubt she would be there for her scheduled visits to take care of my dog while I was out of town for the weekend. I also felt that she would know exactly what to do in case of any emergency and felt very secure with my dog and house with Kyla coming in. I will definitely call her again when I need a pet sitter. She also posted pictures of my dog on her business Facebook page, which was so nice to see when I was out of town.

Kyla was professional from the initial contact we had with her. She came out for a visit to meet us and our dog Chula. By her interaction with Chula, it was clear that she had experience with dogs. She explained her pet-sitting/dog walking services to us. While we were gone, she came to the house to feed, walk and play with Chula and she documented each visit. She sent text messages to let us know how things were going, and even sent a photo or two! We felt confident that Chula was getting the care and attention she needed in our absence. We've kenneled Chula in the past, but having someone come to care for her in our home seems to be a much less stressful option for her. We plan to use PlayPal Pet Care in the future. We were charged a little more because we live outside the boundaries that PlayPal Pet Care tends to do business.
Response from PlayPals Pet Care
"Thanks for the positive review. I truly appreciate it and have enjoyed working with you and caring for your very sweet dog. It's obvious that she does well with in-home pet care getting to stay in her own environment while you're away where she is most comfortable keeping with her same routine. She's a doll and I look forward to helping with your pet care in the future as needed. Thank you again! Kyla Hamilton PlayPals Pet Care"

I am SO VERY GLAD I found PlayPals Pet Care through Angie's List.  Kyla Hamilton did an excellent job of keeping my cat happy and checking on her daily to make certain she was secure and safe and,therefore, giving me peace of mind that I had left my little friend in good hands while I was away.  Could not have asked for better!

Kyla is THE BEST!  If you are lucky enough to be added as her client, you will never go anywhere else for pet care!!  She is extremely detailed and thorough.  She truly loves the animals like they are her own.  We never worry  when we are away.  She communicates regularly through text during the visits, letting you know how things are going.  She doesn't hesitate to ask questions when needed and even sends pics of the animals which comfort us knowing they are doing well and are happy.  If you are going to trust your home and your family (pets are family of course) with someone, you will want to choose someone like Kyla.  She pays attention to details, is extremely punctual, trustworthy, and reliable.  She has all the qualities that you want in a person with whom you are entrusting your home and pets!  My dogs absolutely LOVE her too..they run to her with excitement each time they see her!

Kyla is a good walker. She is responsive and cares about the dogs.
Her prices are a little high compared to others. The cost regular goes up. We currently pay $16.75 because we use them 3 times a week each week. The more you use, the less it should be.
Kyla also manages everything manually so it involves a lot of back and forth. There is not a lot of flexibility with scheduling or canceling unless you want to pay a fee. You also have to pay with checks. It would have been nice to have managed her services through a portal to schedule/cancel, pay, etc. If you ever have feedback, she might get defensive, rather than just just taking honest feedback. A quick question can quickly escalate to a long, defensive response.
There are also no consistent extra walkers that work with her, so I can see why she needs to have a strict schedule. However, it would have been nice to have consistent other walkers that we could trust. There were a couple over the years, but none that last long.
