Safety, trust & environment

I can care for your pet in your home, where your pet is most comfortable. Any instructions you provide will be followed to keep both you and your pet happy. Please document your instructions on Rover or with a note left in an obvious place in your home. I may forget what you tell me at meet & greet, but I will always check the notes.

Information Kelly V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat or dog has any special needs or any quirks so I can be prepared to keep her calm and safe. If your pet likes to bolt as soon as the door opens, please warn me and ensure the animal is wearing a collar with your contact information, just in case, even if she doesn't normally wear one.

A typical day

I like to sit on the floor with cats both for ease of letting them check me out and see that I'm friendly and also to get good eye level photos. I love a cat who wants to play or one that wants to lie down to be petted while purring like an engine. I let your cat or dog's mood determine what works best that day.

Pet care experience

When I started Rover, I envisioned heaps of dogs and puppies and being best friends with them all because I'm a dog person. To my surprise, I found I was doing far more visits with cats. I love cats, dogs, birds, and pretty much anything with a tail. I know the names of more pets in my neighborhood than I know names of their humans. I always require a meet & greet to make sure you, your animal, and I are a good fit. This means I am not available to new clients on short notice, but once I've watched your animal, I'm normally available with only a few hours' notice. I require daily visits for cats and a minimum of two visits per day for dogs to ensure your animal doesn't have to worry you forgot about her. Even if your cat or dog doesn't worry, I worry. I take way too many photos and hope clients love them. Many pets affectionately refer to me as the Paparazzi lady. ❤️ 📷 Please reach out if I can help take care of your cat, dog, or any animal while you are away from home.
