Your dog's safety is my priority
Pet care experience
Despite being small i am very handy with dogs, i own 2 small breeds- and care for them myself- as well as taking care of my neighbor's 3 pit mixes and constant array of underage puppies, from as low as 3 weeks old. I have also managed her more exotic dogs such as her Wolfdog mix, so i can handle a bit of a challenge. No dog is too big for me to care for! Just keep in mind that i am 115 lbs so i can definitely handle your dog, but, i may have to decline certain dog walks, as to assure your comfort that i can restrain your dog if an incident on the street were to happen. My main priority is your pet's comfort and safety. -EDIT: I’ve been off this app for a few years and I’m sorry I just had no reliable transportation. I have a car now! And a few more years of animals on my belt (including a bunny I got recently ) as well as my dog now being extremely senior , and I’d like to get back into rover! I LOVED doing it and honestly it sometimes gave little more pep to get up in the morning knowing I get to see some cute pets later!
Reviews
While Kiley was very sweet during our Meet-and-greet and my dog was 'technically' taken care of, there were a couple of major red flags that appeared during the sit: major tardiness, constant checking in to make sure she was going to drop in and very short visits not amounting to what I booked were all a major catalyst. I totally understand life events happening (car issues, etc), but communication is key and while on a vacation the owner should not have to check in constantly to make sure where they are when the sitter is significantly late.
Kiley helped out with my small Pomeranian twice over a weekend I had to work out of town. She was kind and loving and my dog absolutely loved her. Kiley even helped with a breath spray that my dog normally doesn’t let anyone use on her. She left my house exactly as I left it and I would use her services again in heartbeat.

Safety, trust & environment
At my own home , I like to give my old dog his the outmost respect and I never play too hard , but always make sure he still thinks he’s strong and winning. I feed him homemade chicken jerky (and I won’t lie, store bought when I’m feeling lazy). At any home other than my own I try to assesses the dogs behavior and demeanour to see how to best approach it. If it’s skittish and shy I coax but never chase , I let them come to me on their own; for energetic ones I remain calm and let them relax , etc. I was around animals all the time and watched pet shows a lot growing up.
Information Kiley R. would like to know about your pet
Any dog breeds are great! I love to help with overlooked animals (such as special needs, pets labeled "aggressive" - even though they are huge piles of love) The only concern would be if your dog is over 100 lbs and needs to go for a walk, i can definitely take care of them at your home for you, but for your peace of mind it would be better to talk with me first about the size and needs of your dog <3
A typical day
i have an array of homemade and store bought dog toys for all sizes, i'm very good at distracting pets from tearing up the place while you're gone! I also make homemade chicken treats- just filleted chicken that has been dehydrated- so you won't have to worry about buying any treats for me or the worry of the reaction to sensitive eaters :)
