Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to bring clients pets into my own house because my animals are reactive, but when taking of pets in the clients home I would start by letting the animal get to know me while the owner is present. Once a level of trust is established, I will then check out the areas where I will be with the pet and ensure I know where food, toys, and leashes are kept. After that, I will ask the owner if there is anything else I need to be aware of in order to best care for their furbaby.

Information Kelly B. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know if there is any medication they require and any behavioral issues of any kind, what their likes and dislikes are, and any dietary restrictions.

A typical day

My main goal when taking care of your animals is to make sure they are comfortable with me and that I ensure that they have adequate love and care.

My dog Molly and I love Kelly. She is a great find and always takes great care of my dog while I'm gone. She is trustworthy and always on time. I have used her multiple times and have booked her for my next trip.

We have had Kelly look after our animals on several occasions. Both for check-ins and house sitting. She is fantastic and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy and capable pet-sitter.

Kelly is fantastic. She is dependable, and listens to instructions well. I have 2 cats, 1 is people shy, and they both warmed up to Kelly. I will definitely be calling her again. I have also recommended her to my family. Great personality, and perfect for my two boys

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.
