We start our day around 7 am. Your dogs will go out, have breakfast, and a short walk around the neighborhood. Your dog will have their own personal space for when they eat. I have a large, enclosed backyard and an enclosed courtyard in front where your dog can explore and we can play ball. Your pet will go outside as needed, as often as you want. Pets will usually relax inside during the afternoon and we'll go on another short walk before or after their dinner. We have a nightly routine to give a treat around 9 p.m. if okay with you. During that time, I will try to teach your dog to stay for longer periods of time, again if that's something you want. We try to be consistent and go to bed at 10:15 each night. Pets will sleep near us with the bed or crate they're used to or with us, if needed. That's our day! 👍

We have a routine with our dogs for when we eat and go outside. I can follow any instructions you have for your food, medicines, crating, dog beds, and treats. I will keep files with detailed notes of your instructions and what I learned about your pet during every stay, as we continue to get to know each other. My goal is for your dog to feel safe and happy so you can enjoy what you're doing and relax knowing that your four-legged baby is well taken care of.

Information Kit Jon S. would like to know about your pet

Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet or a quick call so I can learn more about your pup and answer any questions you might have. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I’m so excited to connect and can’t wait to welcome you and your four-legged family member!

A typical day

We love playing fetch and going on walks around the neighborhood! Your pet will enjoy exploring our spacious, fenced-in yard and relaxing in our secure courtyard. Between outdoor fun and plenty of affection, your dog will feel right at home, happy and well-loved.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Kit! I’ve been training and caring for dogs for over 25 years, since I was practically a puppy myself! 🐶 I’m incredibly devoted to the pets I care for, and my goal is always to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. As a mom of three grown sons, I’m used to keeping an eye on everything, I don’t miss a thing! 👀 My reaction time is fast, and I treat every dog like one of my own. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and always miss them when they go home. Here’s what your pup can expect during their stay: • Constant companionship: I'm pretty much always here, so your pup won't be left alone, or be lonely. When I'm not here, my Rover partner Jason, is here. • Playtime: We have a secure courtyard and a big yard for your furry friend to explore. We love playing ball and taking short walks around the neighborhood. • Our pack: We have two small, mellow dogs who'll play with or leave your dog alone, whichever your dog chooses. • Size limit please: We welcome all dogs under 75 pounds. • Pupdates: You'll receive updates and fun photos regularly. • People Peace of Mind: If we have a question, don’t worry, we’ll always check with you. That way, you can focus on the good stuff – your family, work, or vacation. Let's have a meet and greet or call to make sure that we’re the right pet sitter for your family. The most important thing is that you feel entirely comfortable that your pet is in the right hands. Thanks so much and stay well!

Kit is a great dog sitter! Loving and conscientious, our dog enjoys visits with her and feels right at home. Her space is great with plentyof outdoor room to romp. We’ve stayed with her multiple times and will again. She’s always our first choice.

Kit was able to take Wolfie last-minute and she gave her lots of love and attention (she’s pretty needy!). Thanks Kit!

Kit and Jason really came through when we had to travel suddenly. They were accommodating as we had to adjust drop off times. They have two lovely smaller dogs that made it a like a playdate for our golden doodle. Their home is set up well for doggies to lounge around and wooded trails nearby offer exercise. Jason was on top of feeding schedules and sharing photos. Kit kept excellent communications so we knew our dog was in good hands.
