Information Kija K. would like to know about your pet

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?

A typical day

Running, walking, frolicking at the local parks! I’m learning how to skate again so I will be incorporating rolling into the walks. I can be very active when I have free time so if you have a high energy pup, let me know if they have a park they like to go to/if they like car rides.

Pet care experience

**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!

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.

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

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.
