Availability
One of the many advantages of working as a full-time pet sitter means that I have the flexibility to work around your pet's schedule. With my experience and expertise, I pride myself on following the rhythm and cues of each pet I look after, adjusting my activity levels to suit their unique personalities and needs. Additionally, while I'm solely responsible for the pet's care and well-being, it is worth noting that my partner occasionally makes appearances during my stays. As a recovered epileptic, I cannot drive, but my partner is always available to chauffeur me to and from your home as needed. Rest assured that the pets in my care will always have all-day attention, personalized care, and a lot of love and snuggles, from not only one person, but sometimes two!

My pet-sitting services are solely offered in the client's home. I am committed to maintaining a safe and secure space for your pet and, as such, am happy to follow through with your pet's daily routine and schedule in the familiar confines of their own home. During my stay, I ensure your pet has fresh water and food, and plenty of exercise and playtime to keep them active and healthy. I remain on top of all medication and grooming requirements and take the time to learn your pet's unique needs and behaviors, providing personalized care that promotes both their physical and emotional well-being.
Information Casey K. would like to know about your pet
- Any special needs, allergies, medication schedules, or health concerns they may have. - Meet and greets are required before the first booking to ensure that I am a good match for the dog and to get to know their temperament, routine, and likes/dislikes. - It is important to know if the dog has any aggression/reactivity issues to ensure everyone's safety. - My partner is male-presenting, and I understand that some animals may not feel comfortable with masculine energy. I am happy to work around this by providing alternative care or taking extra steps to ensure the pet is comfortable with my partner's presence before any appointment, or not have him there at all. - An intake form is also to be completed before any bookings.* *Repeat clients will receive this intake form on their next booking request
A typical day
During the day, we will engage in various fun activities that are tailored to the dog's preferences, such as going for walks, playing with toys, tug-of-war, hide-and-seek, and other indoor games. If the dog loves water, we may go to a nearby lake or river, and if they prefer long walks, we might explore the neighborhood together or even visit a nearby park. If the dog is comfortable with car rides, we might also go on an adventure to a nearby dog-friendly trail or park. At the end of the day, I'll ensure the dog is comfortable and settled in for the night, possibly engaging with a calming activity to wind down for bedtime. Overall, I prioritize ensuring that the dog feels loved and cared for during the day while their owner is away.

Former daycare attendant
Pet care experience
As a seasoned dog care professional with over 2 years of experience, I am adept at providing top-notch care for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Having worked in dog daycare for several years, I have extensive experience managing pack dynamics, dealing with reactive dogs, and maintaining a safe and fun environment for all my furry clients. In addition to my daycare experience, I have been providing pet sitting services for over a year now, and am skilled in handling everything from feeding and walking to administering medications and providing basic grooming services like bathing. With my passion for animals and vast experience, I am confident I can provide your dog with the best care possible. As an experienced pet sitter, I have fine-tuned my approach to ensure that your pet is happy and comfortable while you're away. I solely offer house sitting and drop-in services, as I have found that this is the best way to keep pets feeling secure in their familiar environments. In addition to my expertise in dogs, I also have a special spot in my heart for my cat clients. I understand that cats can be a bit more independent, but they still require love, attention, and playtime, and I always make sure to provide them with the same level of care and affection as their canine counterparts!
Reviews
Casey is fantastic. She took great care of our three dogs and one cat. She checked in every morning and evening to let me know, they had had their breakfast and dinner, and she sent photos every day. When I got home everyone seemed very comfortable and happy - not at all concerned that I had been gone.
The best of the best! Casey is always our go-to and provides us with the best updates that let us know she really cares about our cats. We’re so thankful for her!
This was my first experience with Rover. I chose Casey because of her good reviews. She was prompt to reply every time I asked her a question, and she was happy to come and meet the dogs and meet us. She provided us daily updates on the dogs and she sent pictures. She left my house cleaner then when they arrived, according to my son. And the dogs seemed to really take to her. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting and we plan to use her again in the future
Casey & Hung are the best! We can’t recommend booking them enough. Thanks for taking great care of the cats as always!!
