Looking for an excuse to go outside

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Kiwi, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison living in Chicago, IL! My family has an 8 year old golden retriever named Frankie, and I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I have absolutely loved my time on Rover so far, and am excited to have more opportunities to hang out with some fun pups! Your dog will receive unconditional love, care, smiles, long walks, and, of course, snuggles. If your dog is low key and just needs a chill friend or if your dog needs to get some energy out; I am your girl.

We have had Kiwi watch our Scout so many times. Every single time, Kiwi goes WAY above and beyond (extra time, long dog park trips, etc.). We will miss Kiwi when we move (and as she moves away too!).

Kiwi was very gentle and loving to Pistachio, I have rarely seen him so comfortable with someone he just met, he snuggled with her and napped while she was at our home. I could tell that Pistachio had a relaxing time with Kiwi while I was gone, because I usually come home to him waiting anxiously for me at the door (he was fast asleep in the hall instead). Kiwi was respectful of our home and communicated frequently with pictures. She was aware of my dog's separation anxiety and made sure to never leave him alone. She also made sure to arrive ahead of time since I had to make it to another appointment right after showing her around. Highly recommend Kiwi's reliable and services and would definitely request Kiwi to house-sit Pistachio again!

We have now had the pleasure of Kiwi hanging with our pup, Scout, a handful of times. Kiwi was terrific, going so far above and beyond (as always).

Kiwi is amazing! She kept my dog active and happy. Kiwi was easy to communicate with and sent frequent updates/pictures. Rosie was tired and happy when I picked her up. Will definitely use Kiwi in the future!

I am currently working full-time mostly from home and will have plenty of time to give your dog some much needed love. When I am watching a dog, I typically won’t leave them alone for over an hour if that. Your dog will get plenty of walks, play time, and snuggles.
