Services

Kay can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Availability

I work freelance as an editor and am self-employed as a gardener/landscaper. My schedule is entirely my own to set, and I can easily be available on weekends and holidays as well as for last-minute engagements. Please note that the listed fee of $65 per night is overnight only. Staying at your house during the day as well, or dropping in one or more times during the day in addition to the overnight stay, incurs additional fees. I am happy to discuss specific arrangements as needed, by text or email.

Information Kay A. would like to know about your pet

I want to know as much as you need me to know! For me, it's important to understand a dog's general routine. It's especially important for me to know if there are things that upset or agitate them.

A typical day

I find out from owners what their dogs like (special toys, favorite games). Dogs are pretty good at letting me know where they want to walk and how long they want to stay out.

Kay was a terrific caretaker. We have an old chihuahua with stress and anxiety issues. He was really having a hard time, and Kay really went beyond and above to care for him. I highly recommend her.

Kay was amazing. She was patient and kind with our little general. Kay took the time to get to know him without pushing. She left our house really clean house which is so appreciated coming back from a trip. Kay is highly recommended!

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.
