Pet care experience

Compassionate care for your pet

Welcome to my pet sitting profile! I’m an experienced pet sitter based in Guilderland, New York. I grew up in the area, so I’m very familiar with all the best nearby parks, trails, and scenic spots—perfect for giving your fur baby a fun change of scenery. I am currently a medical coding student, and when I’m not studying or pet sitting, you can usually find me outdoors hiking, fishing, or camping. I began pet sitting six years ago, and it has become something I truly love. Providing reliable, compassionate care is extremely important to me. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Overnight stays I’m comfortable and happy working with animals of all sizes and personalities. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so my goal is to create a trustworthy, personable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and helping make your time away as easy and worry-free as possible!

House Sitting • Feb 01, 2026

Kailyn was lovely and took great care of the pets and the house! She let us know she wasn't feeling well the second day but still took care of everyone after we weren't able to arrange a backup. It was obvious that she really read through our instructions and was very thorough and communicative, and the pets seem to have had a good weekend :)

Kailyn was excellent with our dog Molly! She was able to house sit for us last minute and when we came home everything was where we left it! She went above and beyond what was asked and always kept us in the loop and sent us pictures. We will definitely be using her again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule and am available seven days a week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they receive consistent, reliable care.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat your space and your pet with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your routines closely so your pet feels comfortable and secure, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day in my care consists of dog walks, playing fetch, frozen peanut butter kongs, putting treats under bowls or in a toy that holds treats, light obedience training and lots more. A lot of animals have a favorite game so I usually ask the owner before hand and always play how they are used to playing.

I find it important to know the dogs temperament, how often they go to the bathroom, how much they eat and how often, the vet office they visit incase of emergency, and whether they take any medication or supplements before dog sitting.
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.
