Experienced and loving pet sitter
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs, cats, and other pets in the household and am comfortable with all types of pets. In the last few years, friends, family, and coworkers house asked me to house and/or pet sit for them which I have done reliably, safely, and well. While pet sitting, I'm caring towards the pets, make sure to follow owners directions, and am overall reliable. I have taken care of younger kittens and puppies as well as senior dogs and cats and know the importance of age-appropriate care (special food needs, less or extra activity given age and breed, maintaining a pet's established boundaries, etc.). I do work full time but am currently fully remote and can house sit for anyone with a reliable wifi connection. I do work 9 to 5 but am able to shift my schedule to accommodate feeding and walking schedules of the pets as needed. I also usually take lunch time walks with dogs I care for and if they are keen to do so or do a quick visit to the dog park if appropriate. When watching dogs, I often do morning and evening walks. For cat sitting, I often do feedings in the morning and/or evening and clean cat litter nightly. Overall, I will keep the schedule you have established. Most important to me is ensuring your fur baby is taken care of and does not have huge shifts in their schedule to ensure they are comfortable with another person caring for them. While watching someone's fur baby, I keep them within permitted areas (fenced backyards or dog parks for example). I make sure your pet is clean and safe by ensuring boundaries established by the owner (other dogs, children, other adults) are maintained. While house sitting, I make sure to clean what I use (dishes, sheets, surfaces touched, etc.) and ensure mail, garbage, and recycling are taken care of. I cannot currently watch dogs or cats at my home overnight.
Reviews
Kalyn was terrific! Our super needy, energetic dog was happy and healthy when we returned from vacation...maybe a little porkier, but when Dad's away.... Kalyn did a great job keeping the dog and the house while we were away. Very much appreciate the peace of mind that resulted from the good care and the photos. We'd definitely ask Kalyn back.
Kalyn is wonderful! This was a long trip, and her first time at my home. Everything was fantastic! My three animals were happy and healthy, and my home was in wonderful shape. She communicates very well, and is a lovely person. I would highly recommend Kalyn.
Kalyn’s visit with Hazel went smoothly. We were able to meet prior to the date of service to see if it was a good fit. She is very thorough in following your instructions. I enjoyed the update and pictures after the visit. Already booking another dropin with her!
My pup was well cared for. My house looked great. Kalyn was very communicative, sending me notes and pics every day. I highly recommend Kalyn!

Information Kalyn Y. would like to know about your pet
I am a dog and cat lover and have had family dogs and cats in the past. Currently we cannot have pets where I rent and so I thought it would be nice to provide pet services in my area.
