Howdy-doo, I sit dogs, and cats too
Pet care experience
My whole life I have grown up around dogs (specifically boxers) ,and for 13 years I have babysat different breeds and sizes of dogs as well as other species of animals. Your lil buddy will get the attention they need whether it's a lot or little if they prefer. I will be your pet's best friend and make sure they have a great time on walks and drop in visits! My wife is also a rover sitter and a vet assistant going through a vet tech program currently and gives me the tips I need for help with animals including body language, approaching, and respecting animal’s personal space. Typically I take as many pictures and videos as I can! Sometimes if I’m in a clever mindset I‘ll make up little silly scenarios about your pet’s visit asfor my entertainment and hopefully yours, but be aware I may get a little corny. I have 3 cats, 1 tripawd boxer, 3 guinea piggies, and a Chinchilla who demands pets. Rover is great because I love meeting new people from very different walks of life and I have met many many many amazing pets and people with my time sitting with Rover and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I understand how it can be to meet new people these days, so if you need some ice breakers for our meet and greet: • Tell me funny or heartwarming stories about your animals and you! • Spill the beans on your pets favorite scratchy spots! • Let me know how your pet loves to spend their time and favorite games! • Tell me you and your pets’ favorite movies • Give me an example of the baby talk your pets prefer (don’t be shy, we all baby talk to our animals sometime!) • Any fun facts about your pets’ breed/species. • I am big into video games, learning to speak Japanese, anime, D&D, pixel art, hiking, outdoors, and secret food joints that are delish, so please feel free to bring up any of these. • Feel free to share any of your hobbies/interests as well! Thanks! Kaleb
Reviews
Great to have Kaleb do our pet checkins while we were out of town. He is very good with our dogs!
Phillip always takes awesome care of all our babies: feathered, scaled, and furred. They all love him, even our shy, moody girl. He handles their walks, their meds, their foods, and everything in between. We are so grateful to not have to worry about our babies when we leave anymore.
Excellent care for pets, highly recommend.
Phillip is the best ever! My flight was canceled coming back and he was able to watch the puppets another day until my next flight came in. The pups love him and when I tell them he’s coming to see them while mommy leaves for a quick trip they are always super excited :)

Information Phillip "Kaleb" B. would like to know about your pet
I am open to all breeds and sizes, but I would like to get to know your dog first through a meet and greet to see how comfortable they are with me. Please let me know if they are aggressive or skittish so we can make the right steps in meeting and please know that when I do the whole “get down in their level and hold out my hand for them to sniff” thing that you have them on a good leash hold, especially when I go to back away/stand up since some dogs may see that as me trying to be dominant and may not like it. Also, I am an over thinker sometimes and like knowing every little detail and may end up asking obvious questions or writing down in my notes during the meet and greet, and may even ask questions again to triple confirm things on my first visit.
A typical day
For active dogs there is a park with a trail right next to my apartment as well as a couple of dog parks near by. If your dog likes to enjoy relaxing then I'll put on a movie or video game and relax right along with them!
