Safety, trust & environment

In client’s homes, I establish trust with animals by allowing them to set the pace. If the animal is nervous, I’ll slowly and quietly make sure their needs are met (food, water, clean space) and allow them to observe me. If the animals are more outgoing, I like to engage with them and learn how they enjoy being pet, played with, and spoken to.

Information Kai S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any particular needs or unique behaviors. Knowing their likes and dislikes helps me adjust to them quickly!

A typical day

I love engaging animals through exercise, affection, and “conversation.” I’m big on talking to the animals I care for, going on walks, and snuggling on the couch.

Enthusiastic, caring, knowledgeable

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments since I was a teenager. I care deeply about creating a safe, trusting relationship with the animals I look after, and am responsive to their boundaries. Whether they’re shy, exuberant, or nervous, I want to make your pet’s experience comfortable! I have 10 years experience with dogs, 15+ with cats, and 2 with rabbit, birds, and fish.

Kai is a fantastic sitter. He loves my dog and all her quirks. My time away from home is worry-free, knowing he's looking after her. I'm beyond grateful to have him as our Sadie caregiver!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
