Pet care experience

Animal lover!

Hello, my name is Kalena! I am very passionate about all kinds of animals - I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, rats, and mice. I have had numerous pet and house-sitting jobs, and I have volunteered at several animal shelters. I am detail-oriented, so I will take any special instructions in stride. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Purdue University in 2022. I currently have a flexible schedule aside from my part-time role as an assistant teacher. I will do research beforehand on the breed you own as to provide optimal care. I can bring supplies if needed. I am able to walk animals, bathe them, groom them, play with them, and I can do overnight care. I have a valid driver's license, so I can transport the animal if needed. If you're in need, I would be love the opportunity to take care of your animal family!

Safety, trust & environment

Kalena was so great with our cats! Both the social one and the super shy one loved her. They were very happy and calm when we got home from our long weekend. Can’t wait to have Kalena watch them again!

Kalena took great care of my cats. She has great communication skills and very easy to work with. I’ve left my cats in her care for extended periods and they loved her a lot!

Kalena was so good with our dog, and we were so grateful she accepted our last minute booking. She is thoughtful and keeps you up to date throughout the booking. We were at ease leaving our dog in her care and we 10/10 recommend booking her.

Schedule

I am able to integrate whatever pet care you require into my daily routine. I can be there to walk, feed, clean, play with, or hang out with your pet at any time of the day!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Kalena can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
The only information I require is care instructions. I like to know about what an animal's daily routine is like and how I can best cater to their needs. If they have any specific dietary, medical, or physical needs, I am happy to accommodate. I also like to know about their disposition and if they have any specific behaviors I should be aware of.
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.
