Can’t wait to meet your pet!

Pet care experience

I have had two dogs in the past, and spend my time taking care of my two dorky dogs and energetic rabbit that are full of personality. I've had pets on and off my whole life, and have adored every single one of them.

Did a meet and greet and trial sit to see if my dog and the sitter would be compatible. After a few trials we both decided it was a good fit. I booked this person for 60 min drop in visits for about a week while I was on vacation. She showed up the first day and sent me pictures of my dog in her pool and checked in. Day 2 and 3 goes by and I don't hear anything from this person and no reports. So day 4 I send a text asking hows my Coco. This person replied that they are sorry that they haven't sent reports because they were busy helping a friend move and that they would do better to send me updates. So in other words, they did not see her for those 2 days because sure enough in those 60 minutes you would have time to send me updates right? So I express concern and let this person know that it is super important to send me updates because there was a heat wave in my area on those days! So day 4 I asked a friend to make the far drive to check on Coco. My friend gets there and sees that her water is low, hot, and very dirty and her food was low. My friend made her ice pool, ice water, and refilled her food. I was very upset and scared. Right as my friend is leaving, this person shows up and sends me a picture of my dog playing in her pool (taking credit for what my friend did). I let this person know that I sent a friend to check on her already. After taking the picture, this person leaves and does not stay the full hour. This person texts me saying they will try to visit Coco twice a day for 30 min each. Day 5 comes and this person text me that they will see Coco later in the day because their partner was at urgent care. Later in the night this person says sorry, couldn't see Coco because they were at urgent care all day. So I text them letting them know to send me all the days they did not see Coco so I could request a refund. They said sure. Next day, I got a text saying they wouldn't be able to see Coco for the rest of the trip because their girlfriend broke something. They did send an apology text, but the fact that they abandoned my dog and weren't even going to tell me until I gollowed up with them!? She could have died in the heat if I didn't have back up!!!!! I gave them cash before I left to cover gas, tip, and ice and thats my lost because they didn't deserve it. I also gave them a large bag of food for my dog that they didn't have the decency to return. They won't respond to my text or messages through Rover. Rover refunded me and asked that I submit a written complaint, which I will do next. They may be cheap, but if you are looking for drop in visits and someone reliable, please save your fur baby and look elsewhere.

Kal was a fantastic dog caregiver who I wouldn't hesitate to book again. I received multiple photos of Scout during our trip and my house was in perfect shape when we returned. Super responsive to all inquiries.

Kal, was amazing with Marley. Kal sent me report cards, pictures and was in consistent communication with me. I will be rebooking with Kal to take care of Marley for my next trip.

kal is a really wonderful animal caregiver! no matter the species, they treat each animal as their own, and have somehow become my dog’s favorite person, even over myself! their love of animals shines through in every interaction, and you can tell just how much they love the animals they’re around. Kal is truly someone you can rely on, and most definitely someone i trust with my dog, rabbit, and fish!
