Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm, I am familiar with caring for anything from a lizard to a horse. I have been a trusted pet sitter and walker for a few families for years. I have volunteered at vet clinics since I was in high school and am versed in dog CPR and have a background in dog training. I truly love all animals they have my heart and utmost care always. Any animal in my care will be left in luxury. As a pet owner myself I understand the need to know your loved one is left in good hands. I am flexible, so please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Kala was very conscientious. She communicated well with us when things in the household went wrong (like our air conditioning breaking on one of the hottest days of the year!) and was always upbeat and positive. When we returned the house was exactly as we had left it, with dishes and laundry loaded. The pets were happy, well cared for and way less anxious than they would have been if they were boarded instead of house-sitted.

Kala was incredibly communicative, thorough, kind and caring to Cado! We would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Kala did a fantastic job housesitting our three pets simultaneously. Two of our pets had medicine routines that Kala was able to follow without issue and thanks to her strength training background she had no issue carrying our Frenchy down the stairs on a regular basis. She was kind, sweet, full of common sense and responsible. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her help us again in the future. Book with confidence!

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.
