Pet care experience

Your pet is my priority

I have been a stay at home mom for 2 and 1/2 years now which has taught me so much patience. Before I had my son, I had my fur babies. My longtime boyfriend and I rescued Jazz in September of 2016. Then, we got Busa from my parent's dog's litter in February 2017. They have both given me a ton of experience with high energy puppies and have taught me to have more patience in the process. I aim to treat the pets that I am pet-sitting with the same care and respect that I would give to my own pups and give them an enjoyable experience while their owners are away! I will make your pet's happiness, health, and comfort my top priority!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I would aim to keep the pets on whatever routine is set by the owner because I know as an owner myself, they thrive on a schedule. I would also make sure to emphasize having fun with them because I’m sure they miss their owner and need something to keep them happy.

We are so happy we found Kalika! She did drop-in visits with our dog for a couple days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better Rover. She was able to handle our dog’s energetic personality and she made sure he had everything he needed. We’ll definitely be using her services again in the future!

Amazing! We even came back from our trip early and she came in twice a day looking after my baby while I was away! I appreciate everything she’s done for me even when my dog had separation anxiety and tore up my blinds but she still went out of her way to help! Amazing job. Thank you!

Kalika, Is a true animal lover!! She not only takes great care of my dog, but goes the extra mile to groom and walk Tiny. If you leave your dog with her, your dog will be treated like royalty.

Kalika worked as my dog sitter for my two very special guys. A lab-mix and a cock-a-poo. She was always on time and I could count on her when a sudden business trip cropped up. The dogs love to see her coming and welcome her just like the rest of the family. I would highly recommend Kalika to work with your pets. She even was patient enough to work with my cock-a-poo's special diet needs and prepare his meals separate from the regular meals my other dog ate. A true gem! Karen Denver, CO

Kalika is a responsible college student with years of experience working with dogs. She has grown up with dogs and is a compassionate and carring person. She has cared for the dogs of friends before, going over to their home, taking the dogs (two at the same time) for a walk, feeding them and then putting them back in their home.

My main concern is that they are comfortable and completely non aggressive to other dogs because I never want my dogs to feel threatened in their own home. I would also like to know if they have a key word that is used when they go to the bathroom, like "go potty" and if they have experience being on a leash since I don't have a backyard.
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.
