About: Hello, I’m Kylee! I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have over 12 years of experience caring for not only my own family pets but the pets of family, friends, and even folks from other internet platforms like this one! My family currently has 1 dog and 8 cats living with us, all pets that came to us because they had no safe place to call home. I believe in doing everything I can to give all the little creatures out there a chance, and feel blessed to have been able to help so many over the years. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rodents, squirrels, chickens, horses, and even a couple of lost goats! I’d love to meet you and your pets, and spread some of my love to them too. SERVICES: -House sitting: I love spending quality time with a pet in their comfort zone of your home, whether we’re snuggled up on the couch together or playing with their favorite toy! This is a service I provide during which I will be with your pet overnight for at least 12 hours (for example, 8pm-8am). This absolutely does not mean this is the only time I will spend at your home with your pet. But during the day, I may come and go as sometimes I do have other commitments to attend to. And rest assured, as I will still maintain your pet’s regular feeding, walking, and potty schedules. If you are looking for daytime pet sitting in your home during which I do not leave your house/pet, often called constant care, please request a booking by selecting the option for drop-in visits and booking the hours in which you would like me to stay at your home. -Drop in visit: I’d love to do a drop in visit for you to make sure your pet is kept safe, healthy, and happy! It is my goal to provide your pet with extra special attention, and make sure all their needs are met fully. -Dog walking: I believe a little fresh air, sunshine, and exercise is good for everyone, dogs included! I’d love to meet your pup and take them on an adventure through your neighborhood! I would love to chat more with you and see if I could be the perfect fit for your needs! I can offer the loving care your pets deserve, to give you the peace of mind you deserve. Please contact me with any questions or concerns! Pet care is part of my everyday life. Right now my schedule is quite flexible. I’m open to whatever you need, I’m here to help you! I’ve loved animals all my life, and I’ve got over a decade of experience of caring for pets. I’m capable and confident in my abilities to take excellent care of your pets. With me, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and your home are in good hands. Thank you for considering allowing me this opportunity.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I own two dogs, a crested gecko, and a leopard gecko. The dogs are two blue tick coonhounds and one is 11 while the other one is around 2. I love to rescue animals and try to help them get to know that humans aren't all bad. I can do senior care and medicine handling, since I've had senior dogs myself and they have needed medication. As a child, I would always try to help people that lost their dogs find them again. I love my animals and want to give love to your animals! I am working a part-time job at Goodwill as if right now. I don't know my schedule at work until a week beforehand, and sometimes it's even later than that. I stay with my pets at home a lot. I play with them, feed them, try to train them a bit if needed, reward them, and love on them of course! I will do the same for your pets if you need! I will definitely create a relationship with the animal before doing too much. I need them to trust me.

About: Hi, I’m Carrie! Animals have been the heart of my world for as long as I can remember. With over 13 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including 3 years working in a shelter and 10 years in veterinary clinics as a receptionist, kennel worker, and manager—you can trust that your pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I share my life with a lovable pitbull who is my whole heart, so I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. Whether it's drop-in visits, older pup care, or just good old-fashioned playtime shenanigans, I’m here to make your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do use a mobility aid for walking, but it doesn’t slow me down one bit when it comes to cuddles, belly rubs, or tail-wagging adventures. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your four-legged best friend! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be available for a variety of activities such as mid-morning, afternoon and mid-day drop-ins, potty breaks, play time and socialization. I’m my own home, I take my own dog for multiple walks throughout one neighborhood throughout the day. Due to being unable to board or do overnights in clients homes, depending on your environment, I would love to spend time outdoors with the animals, whether a it’s for playing fetch in the yard, walks in the neighborhood, relaxing in the sun with our feline friends, or just dropping in for some one-on-one time.

About: I have been around animals all my life. I am a registered veterinary technician who has worked with all sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs. I work in a school district and am currently on summer vacation, so I have tons of availability to visit your pets and/or walk them during the day. My only unavailable time is Tuesdays after 5:30. I will always ensure the animal feels safe and loved. I will follow the same guidelines that their owners have set to ensure minimal confusion and anxiety.

About: I have dog sat for several families for about a year now and it is my favorite thing to do. Dogs truly are a man’s best friend and all pets for that matter. I am currently in nursing school looking for an extra way to make money! I have previously house sat for many dogs of all ages and breeds even puppies and older dogs with disabilities. I have also watched turtles, cats, and fish. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I am currently in nursing school so dog sitting between and after classes is perfect for me! During breaks I dog sit/walk full time as well as babysit. As a dog owner myself, I know how important our fluffy friends are. Safety is a top priority and I will ensure your pet is safe and happy!

We have never had anyone come take care of the dogs so I was SUPER nervous. Kari was awesome and came a couple times me meet with us and the dogs and they loved her. I felt completely as ease and it was such a blessing to have someone I can trust to love them like I do while we were gone during the day.

Everything is fine. Jaclyn left me a text photo of Hank being out in the yard. I know he likes her because her wont do that for everyone. We will be making an appt for a week in Sept. I have already discussed this with Jaclyn. Please put an $8.00 tip on my account number that was provided. I appreciate the fact that her family lives several blocks from my home.

Kamela is wonderful! I am a new puppy parent and I’m lost but she is great at holding my hand during this process with encouragement and helping me reinforce what I’ve been doing with my pup. I can definitely tell that she enjoys what she is doing and loves my little guy. She keeps me updated throughout the day and lets me know how great the visit is going and if my little guy has done anything new. I’m so happy I found Kamela on Rover ?
