About: I have been involved in caretaking pets through Rover, my private pet sitting business, and through local pet shelters over the course of three years. I have also pet sat for friends and relatives. I am very passionate about the well-being of all animals and have even received training at pet shelters in order to provide optimal care. I have a part time job but can easily provide pet sitting services. My job requires me to work 8 hour shifts two to three times per week. If my work schedule ever interferes with a scheduled visit, I offer additional visits that day free of charge. I love incorporating pet caretaking into my day to day life. It is a big priority for me. I want to care for the pets based on their individual needs. I am here to help you keep them moving and healthy while you are traveling or busy with other important things. I’m very flexible and willing to help however best fits your unique situation.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I have three rescue cats and one rescue puppy. I will do everything I can to make sure your pets feel safe and cared for Generally I am available more in the afternoon for afternoons, as I work most mornings. However I may be able to be flexible if needed I will always respect your homes and pets spaces, as it is not my own. While making sure that your pet is always safe in my care.
“Kaylene was a wonderful host & made my dog feel right at home. She was very accommodating & kept an open line of communication the entire time, it was a great peace of mind. We plan on using her again for many more future boarding needs”

“This is my second time leaving my kitten, Cruz with Shelby F. I'd give her 10 stars if possible! My trip was a success because I didn't have to worry about my kitten at all! Shelby sent pics & videos daily, letting me know he was in the very best care & having a great time as well! I will continue to use Shelby as my cat sitter for as long as she will have us!! She's the very best!! Her adorable child was a blessing as well, keeping Cruz entertained & loved! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their fur baby!”

“Chelsey & Lucas were so accommodating, detailed oriented & communicative during my dogs stay at their home. I received regular in depth updates & treated my dog like one of their own. They are an active, energetic, dog loving home. I would highly recommend!!”

“Rachel was great about giving me updates, sending pictures, and video. Overall communication was excellent. Our dog looked like he was at ease and enjoying his time with Rachel and her family. We will definitely book with Rachel and her family in the future.”
