Information Kelly S. would like to know about your pet

Do they have allergies? Do they take medication? What are their favorite activities and toys? Do they have any special needs I need to know about? Do they like to be cuddled? Do they like to be covered with a blanket or sweater? Where do they go to poop? Can they drink tap water? Are there any sensitive spots on their body?

A typical day

I would ask the pet owner for suggestions on nearby dog parks or trails and if their pet is skiddish around people, other pets or crowds. I'm open to suggestions. I have no problem transporting them if they like to go for car rides.

Pet care experience

I relocated from Seattle, WA in December 2023. I live in Bella Lago. I am fully vaccinated (and boosted) for COVID-19. I love cats, rabbits, chickens, ferrets, lizards, fish and birds too! I can sit at my home or yours but find that most pets feel more comfortable staying in the surroundings they are familiar with. I have no problem with a pet sleeping in the bed with me if that is what they normally do. I am comfortable caring for pets with special needs or behavior quirks, and I can be trusted to give medication or treatment if necessary. I am reliable and have dependable transportation. I understand instructions and follow them well. I want the parents to not worry so I send lots of pictures and video updates. My first language is English. I am married (Nov 2022) and have no children by choice. I do not drink or smoke. I am retired and have lots of time to provide care to fur babies. I like to stay busy. I volunteer at The Straz theater in Tampa and the VanWezel theater in Sarasota. I graduated from University of Washington Bothell - Health Studies program BS(2021). I am a big Seahawks, Husky and Mariners fan.

Kelly is amazing! We were out of town for such a short time but she took such great care of the dogs and kept us updated with texts and photos the entire time! Highly recommend and will definitely have over again in the future!

We trusted our pup Bentley with a new sitter while we traveling for a few days over Christmas. Kelly was an absolute dream with our Bentley. She kept me apprised of the daily walks and went above and beyond while staying at our home. We plan to book her for any future trips. Thank you Kelly for house/pet sitting for us - The Marchetti’s

We had a great experience with Kelly! She instilled confidence from the first meeting with a very thorough questionnaire to understand our pets, their personalities, needs & routines. Throughout our time away, she texted us several times a day with photos & updates, assuring us that all was well. We returned to happy pups & a home that was spotless! We would happily have Kelly in our home again to care for our fur-babies again.

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.
