Pet care experience

13 Yrs, 2 Rescues, Endless Love

I’m an experienced two-rescue owner who knows anxious dogs, reactive leashes, meds, and senior-dog care. FYI: I'm allergic to cats, and I do not care for cats, unfortunately! Scout just passed at 13 years. Now, I have my six-breed, 6-year-old pup Gemini. Real patience, not just promised patience, is required with my dog Gem. For example, she doesn't always bring the ball back during fetch, and that's taught me to meet every dog where they are. I say this because that patience and love for Gem is what I bring to caring for all my dogs on Rover. Your dog won't be a job to me. They'll be a guest, treated with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. ✅ My specialties: anxious/reactive dogs seniors multi-pet households big dogs (40 pounds+) high-energy dogs Service area: Belmont, Redwood Shores, San Carlos, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, San Mateo, Foster City, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Santa Clara, San Jose Availability: I'm starting an MFA program at San José State this fall. My weekly schedule is set and important to know ahead of time: * Walks and drop-ins: Wednesdays, Friday afternoons, and weekends are wide open. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I'm in class through late afternoon. * Overnight stays: available for weekends (and long weekends). I sleep at your place and work around my class schedule. Reaching out early for holiday weeks is a good idea. What I don't do: * No cats, unfortunately, since I'm allergic. I can walk your dog if you have both, but I can't stay in the house for more than about ten minutes. * No pack walks and no other dogs in your home, ever.

Kellan took care of our golden doodle Lola when we went to Tahoe. She is a trusted family friend and member of our community. She followed directions and sent pictures of Lola to us. She has an innate love for all pups with all personalities. I’d definitely recommend her!

Kellan has watched our dog, Cosmo, many times and has proven to be flexible and accommodating. She usually house sits for us which is a huge win because our dog does not do well when boarded. If you're looking for a reliable dog sitter to watch over your pet, I couldn't recommend her more.

Kellan’s puppy and my puppy had puppy playdates together. Since then Kellan has cared my dog when I was busy. My dog is a bit reserved but she has always trusted and loved Kellan. I highly recommend Kellan to care for your furry family member.

It’s definitely a priority to know any special needs, anxieties, or behaviors up front. Reactive leash dogs are a good example! Sometimes dogs also have specific bedtime routines. Please let me know what needs extra attention!
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.
