A typical day

If daycare is longer than 8 hours, you will be charged a day of boarding instead. All pets that stay for boarding must be up to date on flea/tick/heartworm prevention and vaccines.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Kali and I cannot wait to meet your furbaby!!!! I’ve owned horses, dogs, cats, small animals (hamsters and guinea pigs) for 18+ years. I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family who are out of town. I have worked on a horse farm for several years. I have trained and taken care of a german shephard puppy for my cousin. I have also worked at an animal shelter with the position of training dogs before adoptions. I love walking dogs and taking care of animals! I am a first grade teacher so I have summers off. I just purchased a house with a fenced in backyard. I am available anyday, anytime. I can come to your place or your animals can stay here. I also offer free baths for your furbaby (if boarded here for over 48 hours and if you request it!) I have a water bowl and food bowl, large crate, large dog bed, tons of toys and treats here as well. Please let me know if your dog isn’t allowed to have certain types of treats including rawhide bones. Ask about my prices for hour long walks/runs on adventure trails near by! I have one cat named Chloe. My cat LOVES dogs but can be separated with a dog gate if there are any concerns. Feel free to ask for a meet and greet to see my house, and to have our furbabies meet. I love going on walks and runs! My community has gorgeous trails through the woods and throughout the neighborhood. I love to play fetch with dogs and spoil them with love and affection. I can cater your dog’s needs to our daytime fun. If your dog is nervous and just wants to nap and cuddle, I love that! If your dog is high energy and wants to play in the yard, I’m down! I also will provide you with photos and updates throughout the stay. Boarding fees are based on a 24 hour schedule from drop off. Example: 7pm Monday to 7pm Tuesday is a fixed rate. Pickup after that time is subject to a daycare fee. All pets that stay for boarding must be up to date on flea/tick/heartworm prevention and vaccines.

Kali is the best! She is my go to sitter for my pup. Bella always has a great time at her house and especially loves her massive backyard! She is always super communicative and always flexible about pick up and drop off times. Can’t recommend her enough!

Kali was amazing! I had a last minute change to our schedule and she was incredibly accommodating. Communication was excellent; I am a new dog owner and was nervous about leaving my pup for the first time and was immediately confident he was in awesome hands. She truly cares about the dogs she cares for! Plus she gave him a bath and worked on commands with him. She is 100% my go-to sitter going forward!

Bella had another great stay with Kali. She continues to go above and beyond to check in and make sure Bella is comfortable and well cared for during her stay. Already booked her next stay.

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.
