Kalkidan " Kat" can care for
Availability
I work part time so I can keep them company at home, or opt for higher intensity physical activity if that’s their preference. I step out of the home for 3-5 hour shifts a couple times a week but will happily accommodate to meet their needs, so please don’t hesitate to ask :) ***If requesting that I stay over two hours or overnight, pleaseeee ensure there is a CLEAN restroom to use for the sitter (me). ***

About Kalkidan " Kat" T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am super careful about being patient with animals that are not familiar with me yet and take their time warming up. I carefully follow pet parents prior guidance and notes about their pets’ habits and personalities - because you of course know them best! And that helps me keep them happy and comfortable while we’re together. ***If requesting that I stay over two hours or overnight, pleaseeee ensure there is a CLEAN restroom to use for the sitter (me). ***
Information Kalkidan " Kat" T. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they aren't comfortable around groups of dogs and have things I should be cautious to avoid doing. And if they prefer lower intensity exercise and would not enjoy longer or faster paced walks.
A typical day
I do local walks around the residence or take them to a nearby trail. Depending on the dog's preference and comfort, I will take pet parents’ suggestions on their typical route or local parks they like. I will play anything they want to play really. We can run and play tag, throw the frisbee, or play fetch. Plus updating the pet parent every day, or every other day. ***If requesting that I stay over two hours or overnight, help me minimize trips back home by ensuring there is a CLEAN restroom to use for the sitter (me). ****

Energetic and love the outdoors :)
Pet care experience
I love animals and am so grateful for their companionship and simple moments they add to our lives :) I had a dog growing up and was around my friends’ dogs all the time - which I loved. I now have two cats myself (a girl and a boy) and love hanging out with any animals needing care when I’m not at home with them. I have been on Rover 6 years now, and have over 10 years of experience having my own pets and sitting for coworkers/friends’ pets. My sitting experience has included puppy care, senior care, administering medicine/ear drops, special food instructions, leash training, etc. I take pride in taking great care of my animals and gladly extend that to any fellow pets/pet owners. I also can provide updates as often as needed, hope to hear from you soon! ***If requesting that I stay over two hours or overnight, pleaseeee ensure there is a CLEAN restroom to use for the sitter (me).

Reviews
Kat made me feel at ease while she was in-home sitting my two dogs. She communicated, was responsive, and sent daily updates. When I returned, the home was like I left it.
Thank you again!! Kat is trustworthy, kind and the dogs love her! We’ll use her again for sure!
Kat was an amazing sitter for Albus and Ham! We threw a lot at her with a puppy, impending snow storm, rushing out the door! The pups were happy and relaxed when we arrived home, the house was clean and tidy! We will definitely book Kat again!
Kat took great care of our dog, Bear, and our house while we were away! Bear was very happy and the house looked great after our holiday trip!
