Pet care experience

Caring cat mom, dynamic dog lover

**I am currently only accepting house sitting requests** BOARDING/DAYCARE: Your pet is welcome in my home! I live in a apartment in the suburbs of Towson, lots of grass and walkable streets. I have carpets so please potty trained dogs only (no piddle pads, no litter training). I have lots of time to dedicate to dog care so they will be well taken care of! WALKING: I’m ready to meet all your dog’s walking needs whether it just be for a potty break, a brisk walk/run to keep your buddy in shape, or a trip to the dog park. You dog is welcome in my car so if you have a favorite spot to take them within a reasonable distance I can take them there too. HOUSE SITTING: If your pets like it better at home I’m glad to come to you. I’ll maintain their walking and feeding schedule and do any requested light cleaning. Every home is different so we can discuss details at length until you are satisfied with the conditions. CATS: As a mother of my own cat I know how finicky felines can be. For house sitting services I’ll feed, play with, and clean up after your kitty. If your cat likes walks that’s definitely something I can do as well! PLEASE NOTE BEFORE REQUESTING - The following dog breeds are prohibited in my apartment building and cannot be boarded: Pitbulls Stratford Shire Terrier American Bulldog Rottweiler Mastiff Great Dane Doberman Pincher Irish Wolf Hound German Shepherd Presa Canario Sorry for any inconvenience! I would be happy to sit these breeds in your home!

Safety, trust & environment

I pride myself on treating peoples homes the way I would want my home treated if I welcomed a stranger. All rules about furniture sitting, feeding times, and cleanup will be adhered to. If it’s an extended stay and I need to spend several nights, I’ll alert you prior to leaving if I need to go into the office and/or visit my own home.

This was our first time booking with Kija. She was very friendly and kept me up to date. The dogs seemed to be in great spirits when we returned home.

Kija was excellent! She sent us pictures and in everyone he looked very happy. Very respectful of our house and just an overall nice person. Will definitely recommend her!

My dogs seemed happy to be at home and have such great company. Dealing with a senior and a puppy isn’t easy!

Kija was the best! She sent me pictures and obviously took great care of Finn (and I am picky!).

Kiya is nothing short of wonderful and patient. My dog is fear aggressive and Kiya was so patient and kind to him for him to warm up to her.

Schedule

I’m currently working as a teacher so I have your typical 8-4 (or earlier) schedule. Open availability most weekend days/afternoons for park visits, any vet care appointments etc. I will also share my work schedule with you, so you are made aware of when/how long I will be gone. If there are special circumstances, we can discuss accommodations!

No breed preferences but let me know if your pet has any specific health needs or fitness goals. Every pup has a distinct personality, what’s yours like?
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.
