About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s had dogs my entire life—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I adopted Remington and Mitra, two wonderful mixed-breed brothers, six years ago. They’re full of love, energy, and just the right amount of drama. Our youngest is Copper, a goofy, lovable bloodhound who’s just turning one and keeping us all on our toes. I’m very comfortable with large breeds and active dogs, and I frequently host visits from the neighborhood pups, too. I also care for a bearded dragon and have experience with reptiles and birds—so no matter the species, I’m here to make sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’d love to help with quick check in to make sure water bowls are full and little walks or runs in the backyard as needed Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. At home, I use kennels appropriately to ensure structure and safety—especially during mealtimes or when dogs need space to decompress. I closely monitor interactions between pets and always follow your care instructions to make sure your animal feels secure, calm, and well cared for.

I'm disabled and unable to work a normal 9-5, but your pet will recieve top quality care and plenty of attention. That being said, my schedule is very flexible.

“She did an excellent job with my cats while I was away.”


About: I have had animals my whole life. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have had English Mastiff/Great Danes( not afraid of some drool) to Jack Russell’s. I currently do not have any employment. I’m extremely bored at home. I would like to get out of the house doing something I know I would love. My husband travels for work so we currently live in a large fifth wheel RV. We have one dog a 6yr old Great Dane. Also one calico cat about 8 months old .

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a little girl. I’m offering to play with, walk, and care for your pets when you are busy. Throughout our time together I will send thorough updates as well as photos. I also have experience volunteering at a humane society, working at a vets office, and working at a grooming salon so I understand dog behaviors and overall care. I am doing this part time during weekdays and select weekends as I am a full time college student. I will be available as needed, as long as I have a few days of warning. I currently have one beagle with high anxiety and look after five other dogs of different breeds and sizes at varying times. I am invested in insuring your pet is comfortable and happy while also following any restrictions or rules that you have set forth. Otherwise its belly scratches, snuggles, and play time galore!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old! My family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, and love their 4 legged family members for years. I can ensure you, your pet is in good hands! I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I usually have no meetings before 11am, and am off of work every day by 5pm, sometimes earlier. I am flexible for your pets needs and can accommodate a variety of schedules! My husband and I have a fenced in backyard with 2 dogs - a goldendoodle and an aussiedoodle - that will keep your fur baby company! Walks are enjoyed in our household daily! We feed our dogs 2 times a day, morning and evening, with lots of snuggles and the occasional treats in between.

About: I have years of experience with animals going back as far as 5 years old. I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and even different types of birds. I've always loved teaching animals new tricks, cuddling, even watching them get the zoomies outside. Animals can be a lot of fun when you let them experience different environments and aspects of life. I also had a job at a pet boarding place. This consisted of being outside with the dogs in runs, playing with them, cleaning the rooms and more. I have 2 dogs at home. One boxer and one german shepard. I work a lot so when i'm home I try to spend as much time with them as I can when I am home. One of the things my german shepard likes to do is chase water from the hose, so during the summer time, we do that a lot. On the other hand, Tyson is a little bit older but he still gets the zoomies, he likes to playfully growl outside but then when he's done, he likes to sun bathe lol. To include all this, I also have 2 guinea pigs who need lots of attention. I try to bring them out of the cage by 1 everyday to spend quality time with them because they're very loving. They enjoy being outside and eating the clover, they sure do appreciate when they get their veggies! They need their nails trimmed about once a week so I do keep up with that. Bathing them isn't a high priority since they just like cats and bathe themselves but a bath once every 3-4 months will be perfect. Our dog tyson, tends to get scared of storms really easily, so when this happens I try to comfort him as much as possible wether that's putting on his jacket, letting him up on my bed because he's scared and needs some cuddles.

“Kevyn was great with Penny. Very patient with her.”

Kenslie R.
“To Whom It May Concern, I’m thrilled to recommend Kenslie R. as a pet sitter and dog walker on Rover.com. As Kenslie’s close friend, I’ve seen firsthand their genuine love for animals and dedication to their care. Kenslie is the person everyone turns to for pet care in our community. Pets naturally gravitate towards them, showing excitement and trust. Kenslie is not only affectionate but also highly responsible, ensuring each pet’s unique needs are met. For example, Kenslie once cared for a neighbor’s dog, Max, who needed daily medication and a strict feeding schedule. Kenslie handled Max’s routine perfectly, providing the necessary care along with companionship and playtime, which noticeably improved Max’s mood. Kenslie is reliable and handles unexpected situations calmly, always prioritizing the pets’ safety and comfort. Their punctuality and communication skills offer pet owners peace of mind when they’re away. In short, Kenslie R. is an exceptional pet sitter and dog walker. Their passion for animals, responsibility, and compassionate approach make them an ideal choice for Rover.com. I wholeheartedly recommend Kenslie to any pet parent seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry family members. Sincerely, [courtney burgess]”
