I am currently work full time as position for Residential Advisor during the weeks but only have availability for weekends. Always be flexible with my schedule. I always play with animals and more comfortable it. I’m aware that work hours are from 6 am to 8 am during the weekdays, followed by another shift from 2:30 pm to 11 pm.

“Kayla did an exceptional job taking care of our dogs and keeping us up-to-date on their behavior and welfare. We had not used a pet-sitting service before and were very happy with the care and enthusiasm Kayla showed on her visits to our home. She followed our instructions to the letter and went above and beyond our expectations in making friends with our dogs. We will definitely use rover.com again, because we know they were much happier at home than confined to a kennel at the veterinary clinic.”


“Micha was wonderful. He came by to meet all of my pets before the scheduled visit so they would be more comfortable. He constantly provided updates and pictures. Both of my dogs are seniors and one is blind and arthritic. He was very patient with them and gave them lots of love. He cleaned the dirty pee pads out of the kennel and replaced them with fresh ones. Also gave the cats some love and treats while he was there. Highly recommend Micha and will be seeking his help in the future.”

My dog can be a little nervous around new people, but he warmed up to Michelle immediately. She gave me regular updates, sent the cutest pics, and followed all my care instructions perfectly. When I picked him up, he was calm, clean, and clearly well loved like he had a little vacation of his own. I also really appreciated how professional and down to earth she was. You can just feel that she takes this seriously and treats your pet like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 10/10. Highly recommend. 🐾”
