Huge wooded yard and lots of love!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs in my life ever since I was a kid, taking care of them has always been a passion! I have experience working and volunteering at various shelters and rescues as well as working with Great Dog Rescue to provide foster homes for dogs in need. Recently I rescued a dog from the side of the road and he has become my best friend. He has extra medical needs so I am skilled in administering medicine and giving extra love and care. I love going on hikes and would love to bring your dogs with me if they are in need of an adventure!

Great communication. My boys loved her. She sent updates daily and was super sweet to them and they had lots of park play time.

I had my dog, Willie, stay with Kayleen for 18 days and he had an absolute blast. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone needing a place for their furry friends to stay. Her price was incredibly reasonable and my dog was given a vacation of his own. Kayleen’s dog, Mister, and my dog became great friends. I will always contact Kayleen when in need of boarding my dog.

Kayleen did a wonderful job with our dog, and even went out of her way to help when we had some extraneous problems. Highly recommend.

Kayleen is amazing! She willingly agreed to meet in advance to get the keys and let me explain in person about the cats like a crazy cat mom. It was the first time I’ve ever left the cats in the care of a stranger (vs a friend/family) and she made me feel so much at ease! She is kind, thoughtful, detailed, and so friendly! She left detailed notes on her visits and took pictures and gave lots of love to my babies. I didn’t have a minute of worry while I was out of town, and that was priceless. I would hire her again in a second!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house in a quiet neighborhood a long ways off of the main road. Our backyard is large and surrounded by forest so there is lots of room for hanging out and exploring. I have multiple crates that we do not currently use for my dog as well as numerous separate areas for your pet to get their own personal space. I can cater to whatever needs your dogs or cats have at my home as long as they are dog-friendly, my dog is very calm and well mannered towards other people and dogs. At your home I will meet whatever needs and guidelines are set to make your dog happy and comfortable.

Information Kayleen L. would like to know about your pet

I can work with just about any dog, high or low energy, with special needs or none at all, just let me know all this information ahead of time. It is important to know if they are good with other dogs as well, when walking or going to dog parks so I can be sure to either let them play and say hi or keep them to themselves depending on their personality. I will cater to what you and your pup needs! Just let me know ahead of time.

A typical day

If you choose me to watch your dog, I would love to take them on hikes, as we have trails leading right out from our back yard into Sherburne Estates Nature Center if weather allows. I will let them sniff to their heart’s content and make sure to bring lots of water and treats to keep them going, finding areas to rest along the way. I also will give them all the belly rubs and play with them will their favorite toys.

I work in wildlife conservation, and spend a lot of my time outdoors so I am ready to take your dogs on as long of a walk as they need. I am currently in between jobs and feel as though working for Rover would be a great fit for my schedule and I can cater to whatever times work for you.
