As a sitter, safety is my #1 priority, so I only board one dog at time (exceptions can be made for same family). I pride myself in providing your pet with the love, care, and attention they deserve during their stay and only having one additional dog in the home allows me to do that.

Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information Kaila R. would like to know about your pet

It is really important to me that every dog I watch has a great time in my care, and that you are able to enjoy your time away stress free. To ensure this, I ask the following: -What is your dog's usual bathroom schedule? -How many times a day does your dog need to be fed, and how much? -Does your dog have any "bad habits" I should be aware of? (likes to dig in the trash, eat food off the counter, etc) -What is your dog’s favorite activity for enrichment? (Lots of sniffing on walks, playing fetch, practicing their commands, being a couch potato and getting snuggles, etc.)

A typical day

I have a five year old Goldendoodle named Maker that LOVES to play and has lots of energy. Both small and big dogs alike have enjoyed playing with Maker and they quickly become best friends. I do not have a fenced yard, so we typically take a longer walk in the morning and evening, with multiple short walks throughout the day. I also have a kitten I recently adopted named Blossom! While her and Maker get along great, she will NOT have any contact with Rover pups for everyone's safety and comfort. Blossom has her own room in the house and can comfortably be separated while your pup is in my care.

Kaila was wondering. Very patient! One of our dogs is very shy and also needs meds at a certain time every day. She was able to manage her quirks and med schedule with no issues. Thank you Kaila!

We are so thankful to have found Kaila. She always takes great care of Addie. We can relax and know our dog and home are in good hands when we are away. Thank you Kaila!!

Kaila is great with our dog! She keeps her happy while we are gone, and makes sure she takes her medicine. We trust Kaila; she’s the best!!

This was the second time we used Kaila for house sitting with our dog Addie. She did a great job communicating and sending daily updates with photos. We really appreciated having her here while we were out of town giving us peace of mind that Addie was in good hands. We came home to clean house and happy dog🐾 We will definitely ask her to sit for us again! Thanks Kaila!!

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.
