Compassionate Care for All Animals

** I’ve just adopted a new puppy so my availability is currently limited. While my calendar shows only weekends, it may be possible to sit on weekdays with advance notice. Please message me and I’ll see what I can work out. ** I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to horses and chickens. Growing up on a horse farm in the Midwest, I took on the responsibility of caring for our diverse animals. Although this is my first experience with Rover, I’ve spent years looking after friends’ and family’s pets. My passion for animal care extends into my professional life as a fundraiser for an African wildlife nonprofit. Currently, I live in Moraga with my husband and our two dogs, Roxie and Franky. I’m excited to offer compassionate care for your pets as if they were my own!

Kylie was so great with our dog. She gave us updates and took great care of our home. We will definitely use her again!

Kylie is fantastic! She regularly watches Pico and our house. She is quick to respond, reliable, and Pico likes her.

Kylie R. is fantastic. Took care of my dogs for 7 days in Orinda. Great communication while I was away. House was immaculate when I returned, and dogs were happy and content. I couldn’t be happier with her.

Our house and dog, Pico, were in GREAT hands with Kylie this week. She was very responsive and texted/sent photos all eight days to tell us how Pico was doing. Pico was a very happy dog when we got home, which says a lot about the care he received this week. She managed our home beautifully, bringing in packages, taking out the trash, and managing people who came to the house. She even helped us with a near catastrophe that went above and beyond our agreement, and dealt with our thermostat that wasn't working. Kylie is a keeper! This is the third time I've hired her and will do so again for our next trip!

Kylie was once again a great dog sitter for Pico and our house. Both Pico and the house looked great when we got home. I will hire her again. We are grateful for her!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work full-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule, though there are some days when I can’t step away from my desk. Most weekdays, I’m fully available after 3 PM. On weekends, I can typically accommodate your schedule. Please note that I do travel for work on a quarterly basis, but I’ll communicate any potential conflicts in advance. Your pet’s care is my priority!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

As an avid hiker, I follow “Leave No Trace” standards everywhere I go. I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect and will always leave it as – if not better than – I found it.

Pets

A typical day

I’ll ensure your pets get plenty of exercise and cuddles, providing individualized attention. We’ll enjoy engaging activities like walks, playtime, and cuddles, creating a loving and safe environment where they feel secure and cherished. My focus will be on making sure each pet feels valued and happy, with dedicated time just for them.

Please let me know if there are any behaviors I should be aware of such as aggression toward other animals or people. Also let me know if your dog has any medical issues or special needs – I have a dog that gets occasional seizures so I know how important having this information is.
