Worry Free Time Away from Home
Pet care experience
**Temporarily offering rover services until 4/24 and then I am back traveling again** Going out of town and don’t want your house torn up and your dog stressed out? Let me ease your woes! I have three of my own pets and have used Rover prior to becoming a sitter. I can confidently tell you there are various levels of care you’ll receive here. More and more owners I have consultations with have expressed that their pets are left in kennels for extended periods or are not exercised enough and become stressed. This is often from younger sitters or sitters who lowball their prices and do not set clear expectations of their service. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond in caring for both your home and your pet, I am your gal. I treat your pets like family while at the same time understanding you are paying me for a premium service and that's what you'll get. Please read the section below “When Kady watches your pet” for specific details about sample routines, what to expect, etc. A little about me: I volunteer for the humane society and have a passion for dogs. You can expect my communication and interaction with your pets to be clear, kind, fun, and patient. I am highly experienced with various temperaments and sizes of dogs. I sit Chihuahuas and I sit Cane Corsos. I enjoy the challenge of stimulating and exercising herding breeds with high energy/high needs such as German Shepherds and Aussies. I also love spending time on squirrel spotting excursions with Yorkies. Although this is not my full-time gig, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and think it’s the most terrific way to supplement my income. I have a background in Office Management and am currently a Freelance Bookkeeper. You can expect someone who provides professional-level care every time and knows what it takes to ensure you’re 100% satisfied with the care your dog receives.
Reviews
Kady was awesome and am very grateful for how she took care of Loki. She would keep us updated every visit to the house to either let Loki out or to take him for a walk. She even managed to take him on a walk with the smoke which was above and beyond. Stayed true to the schedule we had discussed prior to care. Would definitely recommend Kady and will rebook with her again.
I had Kady care for my two Llewellin setters (hunting dogs) while we were away for a few days. I seldom leave them in anyone's care, because they have fairly rigorous exercise needs and are sensitive to not having their human companions nearby. They're wired a bit differently, but if you get their trust and meet their exercise needs, you're golden. Kady succeeded, despite horrible air quality, to meet their needs, meet mine (I worry about them a bit when I'm gone), and we came home to two very happy, secure doggies - ready to pick up where we left off. Kady was very flexible in order to work around the air issues, and I just so much appreciate her efforts - I finally found someone that will allow me to leave home for a brief time, and know my dogs will be well cared for.
Kady is amazing! Our young pup is a handful and she won his heart immediately by being sensitive to his personality and taking him on a walk right away to put him at ease. Totally trustworthy and responsible. 10/10 will use Kady again!
I found Kady through word of mouth recommendation of a neighbor. I am so impressed with the professionalism and caring demeanor Kady has. Our dogs LOVED her and her initial meeting and then updates made us feel better going out of town, we don't leave our pets much!! I will surely be a repeat client for her going forward and am so glad she lives in my neighborhood!

This may or may not justify to your the cost but I hope this provides clear insight into the level of care you would receive from me and the level of care you would receive from someone charging significantly less. I can stay overnight at your home for an additional fee we could discuss on a case-by-case basis. Most clients do not need me to stay overnight because their dogs are well tended to and relaxed during your time away with consistent walks, predictable feeding times, and stimulating play sessions. However, if your dog needs someone, they can sleep by me in your guest area for this service.
