About: I've had dogs my entire life. I have worked at dog boarding facilities and various rescues over the years. I am currently a volunteer with a local rescue in Lakeland. I have three small dogs of my own, who are like my kids. I’m home most of the time so your pet will rarely be unsupervised but when I do need to leave the house, I have steps and protocols in place to assure your pet's safety while I am away. I have a 6ft privacy fenced back yard. All lawn care items are locked away in a shed to lessen the risk of your pet getting into anything potentially toxic. I supervise feedings and separate dogs, if necessary. I can also administer oral medications.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kathleen
Sabine and Louie took such wonderful care of Ella while Chele and I were away. With Ella only having been away from us three times in the 15 years we've had her, it meant the world to us knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. We truly appreciate all the warmth and attention she received—thank you both for treating her like family! — Buzz, Chele & Ella
Jennifer was absolutely fantastic with our dog Pixie! Our "baby" is very high energy because she is barely considered out of the puppy stage. Lol. She sent us regular updates and if we ever have to board our Pixie again, we definitely will be using her. Thank you Jennifer!!!! ❤️🥰❤️🥰
Mikalyn was great with my Irish Doodle! She watched him for over a week and took great of my anxious boy! She sent pics and updates throughout his stay and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Definitely would book with her again 😊
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coco is very attached to me and struggles with separation anxiety, but Jennifer made him feel so comfortable, safe, and loved. She took wonderful care of him, and that meant the world to me. I’m truly grateful for her kindness and patience. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾
This is our second time having Lola and Tuna stay with her, and once again, she was absolutely amazing! 🐶🐱❤️ She is so caring, communicative, and attentive, and you can tell that Lola and Tuna genuinely love being there. Knowing they are happy, comfortable, and being so well taken care of gives us such incredible peace of mind while we’re away. It’s honestly such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust with our fur babies. We’re so grateful for her and will definitely continue booking with her. Highly recommend!
Fantastic Rover sitter! Brittanie sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her! Thank you, Brittanie!
Cyd was absolutely amazing with my older dog, Bella. From the moment Bella arrived, I knew she was in great hands. Cyd created such a fun and loving environment—Bella even had her own playroom with a ball pit and toys! Over Easter, Cyd went above and beyond by taking the dogs on a little field trip and organizing a doggy egg hunt, which was just the sweetest touch. Most importantly, she took incredible care of Bella, giving me total peace of mind. Honestly, Bella loved her so much, I’m not even sure she wanted to come home! I can’t recommend Cyd enough—she is truly wonderful.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Kathleen can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kathleen home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kathleen.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kathleen. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Kathleen sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
