“Kyle was exactly the type of sitter we were looking for. We found him so personable, friendly and loved our puppies. He did an excellent job and will use him again. This was our first time using River and we were thrilled with this service. Of course Kyle made it a great experience for us and the puppies.”

About: As a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’ve personally raised and cared for animals of all ages, from rambunctious puppies and curious kittens to calm and loving senior pets and I’ve seen several of my own pets through their full life spans. This has given me deep experience in providing age-appropriate care, whether that means extra playtime and training for younger pets or gentle attention and medication support for seniors. I’m comfortable and experienced with most dog and cat breeds, from small lap dogs to large, energetic pups, and from independent cats to cuddly companions. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in getting to know each one individually to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. One of the biggest advantages I offer is that I work from home full time. That means your pet will never be left alone for long periods and will get consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a calm environment, lots of affection, structured routine, or just someone to hang out with, I’m here to provide that kind of care in a homey, stress-free setting. I genuinely treat every animal I care for like family, and that means tons of love, playtime, cuddles, and comfort while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care and companionship. I build my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddle breaks in between work tasks. I love having animals around; they bring joy, routine, and energy to my day. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, fresh air, and play. My home is pet-friendly and full of love my kids adore animals and enjoy helping care for them, offering even more companionship for your pet while they’re here. We also have a sweet 3-year-old dog named Storm, who’s been around both dogs and cats her whole life. She’s laid-back, friendly, and used to having furry friends around. Because I don’t have to commute or leave the house for long periods, I’m able to give pets my full attention and adjust to their individual needs, including potty breaks, medications, or just some quiet time if they’re more relaxed. On weekends, I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks or play sessions in the yard or at nearby pet-friendly parks (with your permission, of course). Caring for pets isn’t just something I squeeze into my schedule, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets stay in my home, I do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. I start by learning about their routine, habits, and preferences so I can maintain consistency with feeding, potty breaks, sleep, and play. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to run in the yard or prefers to nap in a quiet corner, I adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. Inside, pets have free roam of the main living areas, unless you prefer otherwise. I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, including playtime, snuggles, and positive reinforcement. For pets that need a crate, I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep their routine consistent. I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. I also have a friendly dog named Storm who’s used to being around both dogs and cats. Cleanliness, safety, and affection are my top priorities. I make sure pets always have access to clean water, follow any dietary or medical needs, and create a calm, welcoming environment where they can feel right at home.
“Kacy is fabulous! We had a meet and greet prior to booking and felt so comfortable with her friendly and positive energy. She is such an animal lover. She took care of our babies by house sitting while we were away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates a day, and really put our minds at ease. We are so so so thankful. We had no doubt that they were in such caring hands! Highly recommend!”

“Valantina did great! She helped us put in a pinch and gave all our pups the care they needed. She clicked with the dogs instantly, very playful and approachable. Her communication was excellent and responsive as she sent updates/pictures throughout the day. We had no concerns knowing she was watching over them. Would recommend and will definitely reach out again!”

“Makenzey was nothing short of amazing! She stayed with my girls, she cuddled them as if they were her own. She sent pictures and updates every day that let me know my girls were happy and comfortable with her. She left the house spotless as well. We will definitely call on her again! 5+ ⭐️”

“Allyson took great care of Maverick and he loved her - he’s sometimes selective in who he likes but he immediately felt comfortable with her. She sent me updates, left my house exactly as it was, and even picked up his poop in the yard. I had to change plans and times a few times and she was more than accommodating. I’ve already booked her two more times because I know I can trust she’ll take care of my pup.”

About: I'm a patient person with an affinity for animals. I've been taking care of dogs since I can remember. Also, I have tons of experience in babysitting, house sitting and even some elder care. Point of story: I will treat your fur baby like it's my own! I work from home as a freelance writer! I have a big apartment that currently has one small dog in it. I thought it would be cool to have more dogs in it! Or to just meet other dogs at their house! I love dogs and that's pretty much it I live in a nice, sub-urby area, and I take my dog Laz on walks through the neighborhood and to the park. I would be happy for your dog to join on those walks! Or if your dog prefers the comfort of their own home, I'm happy to accommodate that as well 😊

About: Animals have been my life since I was a child. Watching my mom take care of dogs at the local shelters and every animal she had taken care of in my childhood has left wonderful memories. Spending time with animals was always amazing because they felt more a part of the family. I’ve taken care of friends and family animals, and made wonderful bonds with them. I see my own pets as more than just animals, but as my own children and any pet that I take care of that’s not mine I treat as if they are. I recently moved to this state so currently this will be my only occupation until I find something else. Then I'll be part time care. always check in for any health and food necessities. Check and see if they are an indoor or outdoor animal to be more prepared for walks.
Whiteside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kacy was an amazing dog sitter! Even my shy dog was very comfortable with her. Her daily updates made me feel at ease with being out of the country for over a week, knowing that our pups were happy. She was also very respectful and took great care of our house. She helped water flowers, collect mail, and it felt so clean when we got home. I would highly recommend Kacy!

Many thanks to Kacy for staying with our dogs for six nights. Kacy communicated the perfect amount before the stay and while we were gone. I was confident that the dogs were getting excellent care all week. We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. I hope we get to work with Kacy again!
