Pet care experience

#1 for House Sitting and Drop-ins

Hi, my name is Kory. I’ve got 15+ years experience in pet care with various animals. I do really great work and my previous clients are happy to tell you about it so check out the reviews. Whether it’s for drop ins or house sitting, feel free to send me a request and we’ll see what we can get worked out for you. I am currently working on transitioning out of every day Dog Sitting and into strictly weekend work Friday through Monday as I work on getting a new job during the weekdays.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do not board in my home. I have my folks I live with and they aren’t comfortable with bringing other pets into the house as they have their own pets and they take care of mine when I take care of others. I have no problem with house sitting for you or drop ins. But if you need boarding or doggy daycare, I recommend finding someone else who offers those services.

Kory was very reliable, communicative and did a great job watching both our home and our dachshunds. She followed our instructions and the house was clean when we came home. I am VERY protective and particular when it comes to having someone watch my dogs but Kory did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her services!

I had a last minute change and Kory was able to do a house sitting for me and is a life saver. Everything went very well and I appreciate not just the flexibility but the care and attention provided to the pups, especially as they get more socialized with new people.

First time leaving my pets alone and Kory was amazing with how she took care of my pets. Leaving detailed updates about my pets and calming my nerves for being away. Thank you Kory for all of your help!

Schedule

I keep my calendar as current as possible and my response times are super fast. I try to do meet and greets during the evening so I can see your pets dinner routine and have them be comfortable with me around their food. I am wary of last-minute bookings. I need a week’s notice. Attempting to contact me after 10:30 pm will be delayed as I will be on do not disturb until 8:30 am as that is my personal time. Also, I am getting into working a regular day job to cover what Rover cannot plus insurance so my working hours for Rover will be more set to house settings in the evenings where I can be gone during the day as much as I would need the business. I would say if you have a small dog that needs frequent bathroom brakes you will want to look elsewhere because I will not be able to do consistent afternoon breaks during the weekdays. Weekends should be fine and can proceed as normal.

Cats
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kory can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
For drop in visits, how do you usually handle bathroom breaks and/or feeding time, what path do you usually take if you walk your dog? For house sitting, does your pet sleep all day or do they need more hands on play time? Are they strict or loose with feeding time? What day does your trash go out? Where would you like your mail put? What room would you like me to stay in? What can I do to make your pet/s as comfortable as possible while you’re away?
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.
