“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were skeptical however Kayligh was amazing. Our dog and cat loved her and when we got back we couldn’t even tell she had been there. The house was how we left it. We will definitely be booking again. She also stayed an extra hour which was really nice, walked the dog, cuddled and played with our dog and sent us pictures. She also got back to us really quickly when we had questions which made us feel like she cared.”

About: I’m a professional handler making a pivot to personalized individual care. I have experience in the training world; I’ve even trained my own service dog. I’ve also worked in behavioral health as a Canine Care Technician. I’m currently a student a RIT studying for a career in Public Safety. I do almost exclusively afternoon/evening classes and am willing to wake up early just for the special cat or dog in your life. I am certified in Fear Free/LIMA techniques and have a grasp on positively-reinforced Balance training. I will default to your family’s system to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pets. With your consent, I will leave the house better than I found it; dishes (including water/food bowls) will be washes and the floor swept. We will agree on appropriate times for me to send updates and you will get as many photos as you could possibly want (I have mastered portrait mode on my phone as it relates pet photography. You can ask for previous works.) Thank you for the opportunity to help you optimize your pet’s day. It will be a day full of joy and whimsy!
About: I grew up in a household of dog lovers, we grew up with a loving rottweiler that loved to play inside and outside. My sister and I took turns walking our playful rottweiler who wanted to stop at every corner to smell the other dogs. Outside of our household, my extended family also had rottweilers, labs, chihuahua, german shepherds, and st. bernard. There were times where I was asked to take care of their animals when they went on vacation and without any second thoughts I took upon that opportunity. Playing with dogs, walking with dogs and spending time with dogs is one of my favorite thing to do. Not only have I cared for dogs, I also have cared for cats as well. I love a playful, friendly kitty. Hire me and I will be sure your animals will be well cared for. I'm currently working full-time but can help care for your pup on weekends as well as before 9am and after 4:30pm. If notified beforehand I have some flexibility with my work hours. I will be sure to keep your pet in their routine and follow any particular instructions you provide. I will also provide extra attention to your pet by giving them extra hugs.

Makaila M.
“Makaila has watched my Dog and cats for over 6 years. I always knew when I went out of town that they were in great hands. She made sure my Aussie (Becky) who was a senior dog of 15 had her meds when needed and gave her plenty of love. My animals adore her and have always felt comfortable with her around. She has even taken them to appointments when I was unable to. She treats every animal as if they were her own. I will always recommend her to anyone to watch over their animals when they are out of town.”

Tanner K.
“Tanner is one of the most trustworthy and caring people I know when it comes to animals. He treats every pet like they’re his own, paying close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some quiet company, Tanner always shows up with patience and love. I’ve seen firsthand how animals respond to him — they adore him! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver.”

Laura O.
“We were very happy with the care Laura provided for our cats. Made sure to stop in multiple times per day. We saw on the pet cam she fed them and played with them regularly! Definitely using again.”
Westley-Morgan T.
“My cats are not fans of new people. Westley sat on the couch for 5 minutes before he had Phantom next to him. Sebastian gave him bumps too. I have also never seen a person off social media care as much about a pet's mental engagement as I have seen Wes care about his dogs. If anyone will make you pet as comfortable as possible while away from their favorite human, it's him.”
Becca D.
“Becca is amazing! She’s such a caring person and loves animals. Growing up with a Rottweiler, she always treated him like family and with so much care. He always got so much attention and he was just treated like the sweet pup that he was! I’ve known Becca forever and when I adopted a cat, he didn’t always want to be around people. Now, whenever Becca is around, he loves sitting by her and getting so much attention. She really won him over and I’m sure she’ll win your pets over too! I would trust Becca with absolutely anything and I know your fur babies will be in great hands with her.”
