Safety, trust & environment

I primarily prefer to provide care in a client’s home to ensure a comfortable environment for their pets and because of my own cat’s medical needs. While care inside a client’s home typically works best, in limited cases I may be able to offer care in my home with advance discussion and appropriate separation to ensure the safety and well-being of all pets.

Information Kaitlyn & Auston R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and any health concerns. It’s also helpful to know about personality quirks, likes and dislikes, and anything that helps keep them comfortable. Vet and emergency contact info is always appreciated.

A typical day

Every day looks a little different depending on the pet. I try to follow their normal routine to the best of my ability with meals, walks, playtime, and downtime. I spend plenty of time with them, give attention as needed, and check in throughout the day to make sure they’re comfortable and doing well while their owners are away.

Experienced, caring pet sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve lived with, cared for, and volunteered with animals for most of my life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets. Additionally, I regularly pet sit for friends and family. I also have experience with pets that need extra care, including senior care, administering medication and following specific routines. One of my own cats is asthmatic, so I’m very comfortable handling daily care and paying close attention to a pet’s health and behavior. I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

Auston and Kaitlyn our lifesavers. They were able to take care of our lovely cats and dogs complete with a lot of special care needed for a couple of our four legged friends. They were able to juggle our needs with everything going on in their life and we were just blessed to find them. I would highly recommend them for your daily pet care or overnight.

Thank you for being so great with my cats. I know they get their meds and have a sitter that cares long after they are gone.

K&A give the best Rover Card Updates so I know exactly how well my girl is doing!!! So grateful for their services. Plus they know how Envy loves to pick out a stick (sometimes in the form of a branch twice her own size); couldn't be happier!

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.
