About: I have taken care of friend’s pets when they were not present or in the room. When taking out their animals, I’ve prioritized their safety and how they are feeling above all else especially when outside. I am working part time at Lake Compounce, however I am always open to spend my spare time taking care of your animals to make sure they are fed and cared for. I can easily put your animal at rest by giving pats or providing a safe environment for then to relax. I could also play with toys if your animals wants to. I will also be attentive to when a bathroom break is needed and when food should be given to provide a safe environment.

“Olivia was our first pet-sitter who didn't know our cat beforehand. She was excellent. Our loner cat Zoey took to her pretty quickly. Olivia sent us a bunch of candid photos, some of which showed Zoey "making biscuits" while being petted. We'll be using Olivia again, next time we go away.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for years. They are return customers because of the love, attention, and care I shower their pets with. If they had exercise requirements, I made sure to bring them to the dog park or on a hike. Even the less energetic dogs I brought out continuously. When they need meds, I have experience handling more challenging dogs to get them their meds when peanut butter isn't enough to get them what they need for their quality of life. Not to mention all the attention and playtime they will also receive! I will make sure your canine friend is well taken care of. I start and end my days with pet care. Pet sitting is what I do right now. My time is yours to schedule as you need me. I am sure to take your dog out for a walk every 4-6 hours when staying with them for multiple days. First thing in the morning, last thing before bed and at least 2 times throughout the day. If you like, I can bring them hiking or out to hang at the dog park. In fact I’d love to do that for you, based on your animal’s preference of course. Be sure to communicate with me what you need and what you are comfortable with regarding care for your pet.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Kaylee for our dog Nikko while we were away for two weeks. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure he was not only cared for, but truly loved and engaged. Kaylee spent extra time with Nikko, took him on car rides (which he loves!), and made sure he had both fun and comfort while we were gone. It was clear from the photos and updates—and even more so when we returned—that he really enjoyed his time with her. She treated Nikko like her own, and that kind of care is priceless. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Kaylee and would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet!
