Safety, trust & environment

When I lived in a home with dogs I would go with them on walks, make sure to engage them with play as well as attention, however also making sure to not reward over-energetic behavior such as jumping or barking and being mindful of behaviors the owner is trying to train out. (Update: I have been finding it hard to provide consistent walk routines, although not impossible. I may be better suited to dogs that are happy with flexible walk schedules depending on energy that day. If your dog needs a strict walk schedule I may not be the best choice, though I’m sure you will be able to find a better fit with another sitter!) I personally have a cat which I care for with scheduled feeding and lots of snuggles. I don't plan on boarding, as my home is more than just me and I wouldn't want to inconvenience my roommates but I am happy to learn how to give specialty care for your animal at your home as needed.

So glad Kalyssa was able to come stay at my house with my dog and 2 cats. Kalyssa was communicative and lovely to work with.

Kalyssa was a wonderful house and dog sitter! She took great care of our dog and our home, and we came back to everything in great shape. She was responsible, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure our dog was happy and well cared for. We’d happily have them stay again and would definitely recommend them to others!

Kalyssa is (always!) amazing! We’ve been lucky to book her multiple times and she always goes above and beyond—caring for our cats, giving meds with no problem, and leaving the house spotless. Total peace of mind every time!

Kalyssa is our go-to sitter for a reason! Our cats love her, the house is always spotless, and we trust her completely. Couldn’t ask for better! 💗

Kalyssa was a great communicator and my pets seemed so happy when I returned home. They were obviously well cared for. I would definitely recommend Kalyssa and would use her again in a minute.

Looking for a cat/house sitter who can handle literally anything? Kalyssa is a lifesaver! Our cats decided the litter box was optional and then turned our house into a poo smeared art gallery (thanks to you too, Roomba). Kalyssa didn’t even flinch. She cleaned up, calmed the chaos, and kept my furballs happy and cared for. If your cats are as mischievous as mine, you definitely need this wonderful human in your life!

Please let me know if your dog is reactive towards others and to what extent so I can make sure I don’t bring your dog into an environment that isn’t safe for them. I am happy to avoid other dogs and people on walks if that’s best. I haven’t injected medicine before and that may be out of my comfort zone, but outside of that I am happy to learn special routines to care for your dog!
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.
