Pet care experience

Every animal deserves a good cuddle

I've had several dogs growing up, and I understand that dogs need a lot to stay happy, but many just need some tender, loving care! While I don't currently have a dog, I have a cat that is special needs, so I can administer medication using pills, syringes, and in food. I will NEVER give a dog "people food" unless the owner has said it's ok! Whenever I house sit, I will walk, feed, play with, and mostly cuddle the pet I am caring for. I will stay in contact with you and send update images as well! I also react well to accidents, such as cleaning up after a pet has done business in the house, giving the dog a bath, calling if there's a health issue, and rushing them to the vet. I will also clean up after myself, do basic chores, and water any plants that need it. I am disabled from a neck injury, so keep in mind I can't do certain things-- feel free to ask! I have a single motto: leave the place clean, and leave the pets wishing you'd come back!

Safety, trust & environment

I have had both cats and dogs my whole life, and currently have a cat. We adopted her as a kitten, and she was diagnosed with Manx syndrome shortly after, so for her nine years of life she has been on medication daily. I brush her every night to avoid lumps in her fur, and she gets to go out on walks in our yard. My grandma and I love her more than anything and spoil her as much as possible! As for watching pets, I've watched several dogs for family, family friends, or friends of my own. I've watched needy dogs, senior dogs, small dogs, large dogs, dogs of all sizes and volumes! I've also had dogs of my own, and I'm used to walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and giving them lots of affection. I want to be forward and say that I may not be a good fit if the dog is very high energy, as I can have days where I'm in more pain than normal (due to injury or flare-up), and will need to recline for the day in order to recover. Please keep this in mind when hiring me!

Kayla was very good. We had a couple bugs we needed to work out, probably my fault. We works it out and we will be easy her again. Kayla is a very sweet girl and my dog loved her

Schedule

I am currently dealing with chronic pain due to a neck injury (dislocated joint) and trying to apply for disability, so my schedule is completely open most days. I am available 24/7, and am able to dedicate several days to watching pets. For really long stays, I usually need to go home every 3-4 days to refill food, exchange clothes, refill toiletries, and spend some time with my kitty so that she doesn't get too depressed.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Kayla can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I usually prefer to know if the pet has any special needs or needs intensive care, how many there are in the home, and if they have issues with each other. I'll also need to know if they're prone to indoor potty accidents, if they chew things (like shoes or wires), or are destructive of property. Otherwise, I will ask everything needed when we do our meet & greet!
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.
