Pet Lovers Ready to Spoil 🐈 🦮 🥰

We are an animal loving duo who loves to travel. Cats and dogs make our lives so much sweeter. While we don't have our own pet babies at the moment, we like to get a dose of sweetness as often as possible! We love taking walks and keeping animals in their routine. Carmelo is an artist, and I, Kirsten, have a small travel business and am a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner. We have a soft spot in our hearts for pups and kitties. We would love to play substitute Mama and Papa for your little one(s). We have made lots of friends via petsitting both with our host pets and host people : ). It really makes the world feel so much smaller and kinder! Thank you for considering us!

Kirsten & Carmelo did a great job watching over our two dogs while we were on vacation. One of our dogs is not a big fan of new people and the other dog does not like other dogs which makes walking them together very difficult, but Kirsten and Carmelo did a great job managing their competing personalities. The dogs also got a lot of love and plenty of time playing soccer in our backyard!

It was mostly Carmelo watching Bandit and he was so lovely with him. He stuck to my provided schedule, sent daily pictures and updates, and left my house clean and straightened on departure. I even came down with the flu at the end of my trip and asked if he would do one last lunchtime walk before I got back and he so kindly agreed. I would absolutely book them again. I felt relaxed and safe to have them caring for my two babies.

Kirsten and Carmelo saved the e day when I had to make a last-minute trip to visit a sick family member. It was such a relief to know that my dogs were well taken care of while I was away! Thank you!

It's important to know if dogs are on any medications, their meal times and quantities, their bathroom habits, their favorite activity, where their leash is kept, and if they like car rides. It's really important to know how dogs are off leash and how they are with other dogs and also children and strangers should someone ask to pet them : )
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.
