Safety, trust & environment

My approach to pet sitting is rooted in maintaining the comfort of their 'home turf' while providing high-engagement care. A typical visit starts with a thorough health check—monitoring appetite, energy levels, and hydration—followed by a walk or play session tailored to your pet's specific stamina. I don't just fill bowls; I ensure feeding areas are clean and stick strictly to your portion and timing requirements. Between the play and the practicalities, I prioritize quality companionship, whether that’s focused training games for a high-energy pup or quiet 'companion sitting' for a shy cat. You’ll receive a detailed 'Pupdate' after every visit, including photos and a quick summary of their mood, so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

Kelsey was super communicative and easy to talk to, I felt very safe leaving my cat in her care! There was fresh and clean water in the water bowl when I returned and she kept me updated with sweet pictures.

Kelsey was great with Pacino. He enjoyed every minute with her, including going for a ride to McDonald's. I am always concerned when I leave Pacino and after meeting with Kelsey I felt that I didn't have any worries. She is really sweet and took care of Pacino like he was one of her own dogs. Thank you so much. I will definitely call her again when I go away.

Kelsey has been incredibly patient with our big scaredy cat bloodhound "May". She is a rescue and has clearly had a rough past. She trust little to no one and it has taken a few visits for May to get near her but today we made a break through! We are so thankful.

My priority is a seamless transition that keeps your pet’s stress levels at zero. Before our first visit, I’ll walk through a comprehensive care checklist with you to cover the essentials: from your preferred emergency vet and specific medical requirements to 'behavioral triggers' like squirrels or thunder. I don’t just learn their feeding schedule; I learn their quirks, like whether they’re a 'door-bolter,' a picky eater, or a professional sock-thief. By understanding their unique boundaries—like off-limit furniture or leash-reactivity—I ensure a safe, predictable, and high-energy environment that mirrors the care you provide yourself.
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.
