I’m currently on a job search as I’ve only just returned back into Santa Cruz after living abroad. Therefore I have lots of time to spare in my current routine and would love to fill some of this time with furry friends!

While I don’t unfortunately have the extra space in my home to house more pets, I am happy and willing to care for others’ pets in their own home! I would happily follow the same routine that the owners would typically use for their dogs - feeding, walking, playing, bathing, etc.

Pet care experience

I have had a dog of my own for 9 years now, who I've trained, cared for, and loved dearly. I frequently care for neighbors or friends dogs for several years as well.

Kelly is great! She watched my mini poodle on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. My dog automatically felt comfortable with her. Kelly was on time and flexible with my schedule. I will be booking her again in the future.

Kelly has always had a love for animals, even as a young child cared for hamsters. In her lifetime the family has had 3 dogs and a cat, all of whom she has fallen in love with and cared for. She has also been hired by neighbors to pet sit for their dogs (and chickens!). Kelly has a loving, nurturing personality (hence her desire to possibly teach someday) and is patient and kind to all humans and animals! She would be a very valuable addition to Rover's team.
