Tongue out, tunes up 🎧👅🐾
https://www.rover.com/sit/ktl57871 When it comes to trusting someone with your furry family members, I know how important it is to find someone who not only loves animals, but truly understands them. That’s where I come in. What sets me apart from other animal sitters isn’t just my passion—it’s my experience and hands-on care. As a professional dog breeder, I’ve worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From the wobbly first steps of puppies to the slow, gentle pace of senior dogs, I understand their unique needs at every life stage. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including pills, topical treatments, and special dietary routines—so if your pet has medical needs, you can rest easy knowing they’re in capable hands. I care for both dogs and cats, and I take the time to build trust with each animal, treating them as I would my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, your cat needs space and patience, or your senior pup just needs a little extra TLC, I tailor my care to fit their personalities and health needs. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s not only responsible and reliable, but who truly understands animals from the inside out—I’d love to be your go-to. Let’s make your time away stress-free, for both you and your pet.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend my friend KT as a dog sitter and dog walker. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing KT as both a responsible pet owner and an incredibly trustworthy person, and I can say with full confidence that she would be an exceptional caregiver for any dog. KT is a natural with animals. She is a devoted dog owner herself, and the love, patience, and attention she gives her own pets extends to every animal she meets. She has looked after my dog, and even my cats.. On multiple occasions, and I’ve always come home to happy pets and a peaceful home. Whether it’s going for long walks, keeping pets engaged and comfortable, or making sure they feel safe and loved in their owner’s absence, KT goes above and beyond. Beyond her skills with animals, KT is incredibly trustworthy and dependable. I have never once had to worry while my pets were in her care. She is honest, and takes her responsibilities seriously. I truly appreciate the peace of mind she provides, which is not easy to come by when entrusting someone with your beloved animals. If you are looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same care and compassion as you would, KT is that person. I highly recommend her for any dog-sitting or dog-walking opportunity without hesitation.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Provide a safe, pet-proofed environment with plenty of space for play and rest. Follow the pet’s usual feeding schedule, diet, and portion sizes. Offer daily exercise (walks, playtime, yard time) tailored to the pet’s age, breed, and energy level. Keep fresh water available at all times. Provide comfortable sleeping areas (crate, bed, or designated quiet spot). Supervise interactions with other pets (if applicable) to ensure safety and positive socialization. Give regular potty breaks and maintain clean, sanitary conditions. Offer affection, enrichment activities, and companionship to reduce stress and make them feel at home.
Pets
A typical day
When I care for pets, I like to make sure they’re happy, engaged, and comfortable. Depending on their personality and energy level, fun activities can include going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with their favorite toys. For pets who enjoy social time, I give them plenty of interaction, cuddles, and belly rubs. If they’re calmer or older, I spend time sitting with them, brushing them, or giving gentle enrichment activities like puzzle toys. My goal is always to match their routine and provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation while keeping them safe and loved.
