About: As an aspiring veterinarian, animal care and wellbeing has become an important pillar in my life. I am currently a vet assistant and am skilled in pet handling, medication administration, and general animal health. Pet care is what I do- and what I’m good at. I work during normal business hours (M-F; 8-5). My pet schedule would include potty breaks in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Pet care is my profession so there is always room in my schedule for more. The pets in my home are viewed as, and treated like, members of the family. Our pets are treated with the utmost responsibility and respect- but are spoiled heavily with love. Between dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and aquatic life- I can do it all.

About: I personally have or have had dogs of all ages from birth to senior dogs. And have experience with rescue dogs as well and the many challenges that can bring when not knowing their background. I've had experience caring for all kinds of animals from birds, rabbits, cats, dogs and also farm animals like goats and cows. And can provide care for other small pets in your home while you're away. My schedule is very flexible as I don't have a regular job and work from home and make my own hours so it makes for a flexible schedule. When I am boarding your fur baby at my home I don't have a fence so they are leashed at all times as I'm currently in an apartment and don't have a fenced in yard. They do allow all pets here and everyone is super friendly and so are their dogs. I also have 3 small dogs of my own. I do have a long lead for bigger dogs so we are able to still play around outside with ease and they not be stuck right next to me.

About: I have taken care of my own pets all my life. I have had pets from fish, frogs and snakes to bunnies, cats, and dogs.

About: In the past as a housekeeper, I was also tasked with walking 3 family dogs in the morning and evening. They were all rescue dogs so they required a lot of love and attention but that was the easy part. I’ve also cat sit for family friends and friends in college. I currently work part-time as a youth organizer and a little extra cash would be great. A little extra love would also be great and that’s where our furry friends come in. Though I don’t have any of my own, I love dogs big or small but I adore cats mean or sweet. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or requests. - Chey S.

“Being a Rover sitter myself, a vet tech, and owning a ranch full of animals, I have high expectations for any pet sitter we hire. Moreover, I am extremely picky on who I hire! It is without a doubt, Kylie has done a phenomenal job each time she has stayed at the ranch. She has managed every obstacle or challenge our horses, dogs, cats, pig, cows and birds have given her. She keeps in contact throughout her stay and helps my very anxious self be more at ease. Our dogs love her like family!! We love having Kylie stay at the ranch, and will solely use her in the longterm. Highly recommend!”
