Pet care experience

Treating your pets like my own :)

I have grown up around big dogs, small dogs, cats, fish, birds, turtles and other small furry friends. I love animals and currently have three of my own that I try to take everywhere I go. Over the years, I have housesat and pet-sat furry friends of family and neighbors. I am also a huge advocate for animal rights and volunteered at a local animal shelter in Hawaii called Poi Dogs and Popoki before moving back to California. There, I cared for all types of cats from 4 week old kittens to senior cats and FIV+ kitties as well as provided daily medication. I have also rescued and fostered dogs, kittens and feral cats.

Safety, trust & environment

While I cannot stay over night at your place, I can gladly watch over your furry babies by visiting with them or housesitting in my home. Depending on your pets level of energy, I can go on multiple walks or runs a day as well as have plenty of interactive playtime. I am comfortable giving various types of medications and can work with any training you have implemented.

House Sitting • gen 12, 2024

KJ was awesome and dedicated sitter to our dog Loki. Our dog used to have separation anxiety and resource guarding issues, so during our meet and greet we let KJ know all the history of behaviors and we had a set of rules to follow for Loki. KJ was very attentive to our concerns, followed all the rules and even went above and beyond to help Loki being a better dog. Our dig Loki had regular daily walks and and even plenty of interactive playtimes with KJ. KJ is also very communicative, giving us updates with lots of pics and letting us know of all Loki's behavior as we requested. We very appreciate to have KJ care for our dog while we're away. I'd recommend KJ to all who's needing a dedicated sitter.

KJ was nothing short of excellent and exceeded all expectations. Her care for our dogs showcased a level of dedication that truly set her apart. KJ not only attended to our dogs’ needs with precision but also went above and beyond to provide companionship and engagement. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals made our experience worry-free. KJ's exceptional service has not only left us impressed but also grateful to have found a dog sitter of such high caliber. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pets.

KJ thanks so much for taking such good care of Scout! I know that his energy is endless, but you gave him a good run for it! Hope to be working with you again.

The hardest part of traveling is leaving my cats. KJ put all my anxieties at ease. She was quick with communication throughout the process of booking and when she was sitting for my kitties. I had her come twice daily and she would send me lots of photos and updates of them. It was an absolute joy seeing how my cats melted for her. I cannot thank her enough and absolutely know I will book her again for any upcoming trips planned!!!

KJ is one of the best sitters we've had to take care of our dogs. She was always prompt and always took the best care for our pups. She took time to feed and walk each dog's specific to their needs and was soo sweet to both our geriatric pup and our younger one as well. She was wonderful.

Please let me know if there is any training set that you would like me to respect. Additionally, if your pet has any behaviors, fears, or traits that would be applicable, please let me know in advance. That is just so I can be mindful and aware. All of my pets are up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and on monthly flea/tick medication. Additionally, they are also very respectful and friendly.
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.
