Highlights
Pet care experience
Lead Vet Tech (10+ Yrs) & Master’s
With over a decade of animal experience, was a Lead Veterinary Technician in urgent care and surgery, combined with a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M, I offer a level of clinical expertise. My career has been dedicated to the health, safety, and emotional well-being of animals. Beyond my medical background, I am a former service dog trainer specializing in training future service dog puppies (from 3 months and older) for veterans with physical disabilities and PTSD. As a devoted pet owner myself to two dogs and two cats, I treat every client's home and pet with the same loving care that I give my own multi-animal household. If your pet has complex medical needs, chronic illness, or is recovering from surgery, you can travel with absolute peace of mind. I am highly proficient in senior and hospice care, managing oncology (cancer) patients, and caring for pets with thyroid issues or strict weight-loss goals. My clinical skills include: Advanced Medication Administration - Fluent in administering medications via Subcutaneous (SQ) injections, Intravenous (IV), oral, topical, intranasal, and rectal routes. Specialized Therapies - Experienced with diabetic patients (insulin management) and administering SQ fluid therapy. Special Needs Care - Fully equipped to handle incontinent pets, paralyzed animals, and strict post-operative crating or mobility protocols.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a 6ft wooden fenced backyard, 2 dog-savvy cats, and 2 friendly, large dogs that love to play and hang out. Thor and Donte, the oldest cat and dog in the house, respectively, have very chill energy and will play whenever they’re feeling the zoomies. The greyhound and kitten are always curious and looking for a playmate. I love to be outside in nature and often will take my own pets on walks and trails around the neighborhood. My sphinx kitten even loves to be leashed to explore quiet areas. Love to hike and even have experience with SUP (stand-up paddleboard) with pets, both cats and dogs in life vests. Will make sure your fur baby is comfortable, exercised, and loved!
Ratings and reviews
She’s awesome, very kind and professional. She’s been stopping by to took my dog on walks. Stark is a big dog and she handles him pretty well!
Finding a pet sitter you can truly trust is hard enough, but finding Angelica is like hitting the jackpot. She is incredibly kind, genuinely caring, knowledgeable far beyond your average sitter, and attentive to every little detail regarding any pets in her care. Angelica brings a level of expertise that is impossible to match with her background as an emergency veterinary technician. One of my dogs has a neurological condition that he needs to be medicated a monitored for, and if not cared for properly it can be life threatening - I haven’t traveled in the past 3 years since his diagnosis, Angelica is the first and only person I’ve trusted with this responsibility. Knowing that someone with advanced medical knowledge and emergency experience is watching over your fur babies will take away 100% of any travel anxiety. She is knowledgeable, professional, and treats all pets like they are her own. I truly cannot recommend Angelica highly enough!
Angelica is hands down the best person to ever watch my dog for me! I have a very anxious Aussie who typically doesn’t like being apart from me and gives everyone else a hard time with going on walks/outside but with Angelica, my girl was SO happy and well cared for. I felt so relieved to leave her in such great care and even receive daily videos of her happy and running around while staying at Angelica’s home. Angelica also has extensive veterinary medical knowledge and experience so I would trust her completely with any medical cases! Overall, she is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met who truly loves animals and takes care of them as if they were her own. I’m just sad that we no longer live in the same town because I’m still looking for a sitter as good as her 😅 If you need any care at all for your fur babies, angelica’s your girl! Cannot recommend her enough 🫶🏼
I worked with Angelica in veterinary medicine, and I know firsthand how much she truly cares about animals. She's incredibly responsible, patient, and attentive, and her experience in the veterinary field gives me even more confidence in her abilities. She's also cared for my own dog, and I never had to worry because I knew my pup was in the best hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend Angelica to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family.
There is no one I would trust more to watch my pets than Angelica. I've known her for several years, and she has always be kind, loving, patient, and attentive with the animals in her care. She will love on any pet like they're her own, and she's very reliable.
I've know Angelica for over 5 years. We started working/volunteering together at the largest all-breed rescue in San Diego called The Animal Pad (TAP). She was kind and taught me a lot in the vet room where we conducted in-take care for new dogs/puppies. Not only was she kind and supportive to me, but she took extraordinary care of the dogs/puppies. She has also trained service dogs while in college and I witnessed firsthand one of her trainees. She's an amazing trainer and has the experience to back it up. I would highly recommend Angelica to the Rover.com team. You will not find a better candidate in my opinion.

Schedule
I am working weekdays three days from 8a-5p and twice a week only afternoon/evening shifts, so I have some early morning and late evening availability. Weekends, I have a flexible schedule and timing to accommodate any needs your pet may have. Comfortable with dogs, cats, and any small exotics that may be in the home. Weekday early mornings and late evenings are open for care. More availability during the weekends.
