Pet care experience

Dog trainer and also runner!

Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile! I have been in the canine industry for well over 15 years as a professional dog trainer and currently own my own dog training company (Simply Manners). I have also worked at doggy daycares and vets in the past as well. I grew up with dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters and even a pony. Animals are my life! I love being able to provide the best care for every pet. I love caring for pets and will make sure your pup (or cat) is very well cared for! I am available to run or walk your pet, please just let me know which you would prefer. I am currently training for the Boston Distance Medley Race (5K, 10K and Half Marathon) and can take your pup on one of my training runs if you would be interested in that. Just let me know! Again, thank you for checking out my profile and hope I can meet you and your pup very soon!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At this time I prefer to care for my client’s pets in their own home. It’s usually less stressful for the pet and I have no issues staying over at the clients home.

Kaylene was beyond amazing! Sending daily texts and pictures which made my trip more relaxing! Simply perfection and I will definitely be using her again and referring her to my friends that need a sitter!

Kaylene is wonderful! Great communications and professional. She’s great with our doggos - we have three including a high energy puppy and an older disabled fur kid.

I would like to know if your dog has any leash reactivity (be it other people or other animals), as well as if they are ok with other dogs, just in case we run in to another dog on our walk.
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.
