Safety, trust & environment

I will ensure dogs don't eat things they find on the street during walks. I always check that doors are fully closed to keep pets from escaping the home.

Information Kelli Y. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if a dog has a bite history and how strong their prey drive is. Are they reactive to other dogs? Is there a sound or object that they really dislike, like kids yelling or bicycles?

A typical day

I'd take your dog wherever you think is best. Is there a dog park nearby they love? Do they prefer city walks or going to a park?

I love all furry animals!

Pet care experience

I've had cats for 19 years. I currently have cats, rats, and a senior dog. I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I have experience administering oral, topical, and injected medication to cats, oral medication to rodents, and topical medication to dogs. I syringe-fed my cats when they were ill. I’ve cared for cats and dogs that required diapers and mobility aids. I walked my neighbors' small and large dogs when I was in high school. I started fostering for some area shelters a couple of years ago. I fostered cats, kittens, and dogs with various medical needs. I am experienced with bottle baby kittens and shy/feral cats. I'm comfortable with cats, dogs, and rodents. I'm open to caring for other exotic animals provided I receive detailed care instructions from the owner(s). No snakes or spiders, sorry! I love extra large dogs and I’m willing to walk them provided that they are well-trained and don’t pull too much while walking on a leash. I do not walk dogs with retractable leashes. Update 4/29/24: I no longer accept requests to care for doodles or corgis. Thank you for understanding.

Kelli is the best! Super reliable and gives our cat pills well (even when it’s tricky). And our cat loves her!

Kelli is one of the best pet sitter's I've ever had. She is super attentive and responsible with my cat and looking after his health and well being. She has watched him many times and I am always comfortable leaving him in her excellent care.

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.
