I can't wait to love your pets!

Pet care experience

I have been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was 12 and I have always loved dogs. I have done everything from three hour hikes to ten minutes letting the dog out to staying at the owner's residence for three weeks at a time. I am flexible, loving, and hard working. I also worked for a year at a professional doggy day care. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from the smallest chihuahua to the largest St. Bernard. I want to give your four legged family members the same love that you would give them. I know how much your pets mean to you and I am ready to give them all the love and care they deserve. I look forward to meeting your furry friends.

Kaela did a wonderful job with our two labs. She took care of them for four days in our home when we were away for travel. Our one dog has allergies, and she had no problems implementing his diet and skin care. When we got back, the dogs were relaxed and happy, and we could tell she gave them a lot of attention and exercise while under her care. This is nice since we have an older dog and the kennel trends to stress him out. I highly recommend her!

Kaela stayed at our home for 4 nights to watch our Weimaraner. He gets nervous when we leave him but it was helpful to leave him in the comfort of his own surroundings while gone. Kaela sent photos and updates at least once a day to let us know everything was okay and she even took him our for a hike. Everything went great and I look forward to having her help us out again in the future. I highly recommend her!

The return from our vacation was a nightmare. We had Kaela booked for watching our two dogs for a week at our home. In that time, we only received photos of our dogs after specifically asking her to, despite having selected on rover for photos. The two photos she sent were only only of our dogs sitting in the house, so we have no idea what kind of care they were getting. Now to the real issue. Prior to arriving home, we didn't get any communication from Kaela, despite the fact that one of our dogs got sick. On our return, we found a note on our counter stating that our dog got into 'something' and made a mess. In the note, she also said she tried to clean the mess, but was unable to find cleaning supplies, which were literally left next to the dog food... Now to the mess. We came home to extreme diarrhea smeared all around our living room, main hallway, and den carpet. To make matters worse, in her 'cleanup' she used something that pulled threads from our carpet up, causing permanent damage to the carpet. If we had known that there was such a mess, we would have called someone to clean it ahead of time, since a mess like this is obviously out of the scope for a dog sitter. This also would have saved us some money from having to schedule a carpet cleaning service to come over after hours at extra cost. The biggest issue is that we found that our dog had gotten into one of his medications and ate about half of the bag, causing the diarrhea. Luckily, this medication isn't dangerous when ingested in a large amount, but she didn't even let us know what he had gotten into. We didn't find this out for two days, so you can imagine what damage could have been done if the medication was dangerous. In short, Kaela was very poor with communication and clarity when watching our dogs. Other than seeing the conditions from coming home, we have no evidence showing the kind of care she was giving. Bottom line, if she would have just reached out to us as these issues arose, we could have settled them together without us having to be scared for our dog when we came home.

Kaela did a great job watching my 2 dogs and one cat for a week! She was kind and responsive, and she sent photo updates throughout the week, which I really appreciated.
