Pet care is my main focus, and has been for the past several years. Aside from other local pet visits during the day, my only commitments are on a flexible work-from-home or volunteer schedule. Your pets are the star of my show! I’m lucky that I can easily work my schedule around my furry clients’ needs. Unless otherwise stated by a pet’s owner, I will only leave pets home alone for a maximum of 4 hours at a time, and no more than 8 total hours in a day.

Safety, trust & environment

When pet sitting, whether overnight or just a drop-in visit, I always treat my client’s home with utmost respect, and leave the home in the same (or better) condition than I found it. I strive to keep the pet(s)’ routine the same as when their owners are home as best as I can. 🏡 Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and body language to avoid any conflict long before it happens. On top of the Rover Guarantee, I also am covered by business insurance through Pet Care Insurance, Inc., so if a very rare accident were to happen under my care, I’ll make sure any vet bills are reimbursed. I also send photo and text updates at least once daily during house sittings. You can rest easy knowing I take thorough, meticulous steps to make sure your pet is as safe, healthy, and happy as can be.

Information Karen P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your pet's temperament and any sort of special attention they require besides feeding and walks, such as medication or grooming. Please show me a quick demonstration of any special procedures during the meet-and-greet.

A typical day

I will play with your pet for as long as they want, and give them so much love and pets! I love playing indoors and outdoors, going for long sniff-adventure walks, and cuddling up with fuzzy friends for a nap or TV time. And if someone settles down on my lap, I’m not going anywhere! 🤣💕

Pet care experience

Hey there, call me Kit!* 😁 I have loved animals my entire life and would be delighted to care for yours! I have been dog-walking and petsitting with Rover for over 6 years and have cared for animals since I was very young. I grew up with a collective four dogs and seven cats over the years. Now in my late twenties, I share three cats with my lovely partner. Pet care is very fulfilling for me because nurturing and playing with animals fills me with joy! I LOVE caring for dogs since I don’t have one of my own (yet 😉), and I adore cats—I have cared for newborn kittens, senior cats, and everything in between.🐱❤️ I am most experienced with cats and dogs, with some bird and rodent experience, but I love all animals and would gladly learn to look after any creature. Zoo volunteer work has led me to care for a variety of animals, including goats, rabbits, reptiles, and even bears. I also have medical experience with birds and mammals from a 6-month internship with Wildlife Care Association, a Sacramento-based wildlife rehab center, in summer 2021. I would be honored to care for your dog, cat, or any other pet! 🐾 *Karen is my legal first name, but my preferred/lived name is Kit. I’m unable to change my name on Rover at this time. I kindly request to be called Kit in all interactions except for instances where legal name is required. I use they/them or he/him pronouns. Thank you for understanding!

Kit is one of the best pet sitters we have had. Very attentive, has a lot of pet care experience! We have some pets with medical care needs and Kit handles everything with extreme care and consideration. We are long term clients and will continue to trust Kit to be reliable, responsive, and extremely kind!

Kit is a professional caregiver! Follows directions and takes exceptional care of pets. Our pets were obviously well cared for when we returned as was our home. Our pets rarely feel as secure as they did in the care of this sitter based on their behavior when we returned. Will book again without questions!!

Kit is an amazing person and pet sitter. They truly care for our pets (dog and cat) while we are gone and 100% trust them to go above and beyond. They are our first choice on this app every time.

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.
