Dogs, cats, and others? NO PROBLEM
Pet care experience
I've not only taken care of dogs and cats, but I have also taken care of more exotic pets, too. At different times, I've had rats, mice, dwarf hamsters, short tailed opossums, fish, leopard geckos, dogs, two kittens that showed up on my porch with their mom, a rabbit and ducks. (Although technically the rabbit is my daughter's pet. You know how that goes.) Along the way I've learned skills like post-surgical care for spayed/neutered animals, successfully rearing day old poultry to adulthood, providing nutrition via syringe for a lizard, and carefully trimming a dog's nails. I am available to take care of your precious pets from sunrise to sunset. If your little buddy needs help during the night because of special needs, however, I am willing to extend those hours a bit. I believe that the less disruption to an animal while the owner is gone results in the best situation for everyone. That's why I take care of animals in their own home. Being away from you is stressful enough. Having to find new places to nap or hide just adds to the stress. I will ask detailed questions about the animal's care - not just where to find the food and/or a litter box, but what kind of interaction he or she prefers so I can provide that. If there are any special needs for you and your pet, I want to be sure that they are met. In order to provide extra reassurance to my clients, I carry pet sitter insurance through PCI. I can provide the policy for you to review upon request. (I know that Rover offers some coverage for all sitters, but this is in *addition* to that.) Picking up the mail and/or watering houseplants are other services I can provide upon request.
Reviews
Great house and pet sitter. Took excellent care of our miniature schnauzer while we were out of town. Couldn't have asked for better. Well done, highly recommended. Will definitely have her back.
We will be using Kory again. The pups do great with her
Kory is wonderful with our deaf velcro dog. We were worried leaving him the first time that it would cause him anxiety but he's great! She showed up when she said she would and took excellent care of our furry family members.
Kory is wonderful. The animals love her, she administers medication, and very dependable!

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure that your pet is supervised at all times when not in your home, because sometimes it’s just too tempting to try to sneak away. He or she will not go outside without a leash and tag.
Information Kory O. would like to know about your pet
Every pet has their own special needs and preferences. I am more than happy to meet with you and your pet ahead of time, in order to make it more comfortable for everyone.
A typical day
What will a typical day be like? It depends on your animal's needs. Some indoor pets just need cuddling or a special snack, while more active pets need time in the great outdoors. No two pets are alike, so why settle for "cookie cutter" care?
