Information Kassy D. would like to know about your pet

For all pets, please let me know their likes/dislikes. For dogs, let me know how their level of leash training and if they are reactive, what their triggers are.

A typical day

Every dog is different. Some love to go for fast-pace walks, some like to sniff and wander on their walks, and others would rather be inside playing with toys or getting pets. Similarly for cats, some like to play with toys while others love to be left alone. I will learn your pet’s specific likes/dislikes and implement it to our visits.

Kassy is very gentle and quickly developed a good rapport with our anxious rescue, Rio. She’s easy to work with and very flexible. We’re grateful for her.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Kassy. I went out of town for the holidays and had someone lined up, but unfortunately they weren’t able to pull through last minute. I reached out to a couple of people, and Kassy responded quickly and confirmed her availability right away. From the start, I got a great vibe from her. She was kind, professional, and very personable. She immediately took a huge weight off my shoulders. I really appreciated how respectful she was in my home; she always asked before looking for anything and made sure she was doing things the way I was comfortable with. That meant a lot to me, especially since I’m not someone who easily lets just anyone into my space. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire visit. I loved the updates and photos. They gave me real peace of mind while I was away. This was also my first time using Rover, and I genuinely feel like I got lucky finding her. I trusted her completely and felt very comfortable knowing my little guy was in good hands. I highly recommend Kassy and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future.

Kassy was great. I love the updates and just knowing our girls are well taken care of. They are always calm and happy when we get home!

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.
