I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule. I have been a nurse for the last five years in oncology. I am taking some time for myself to rejuvenate. I prefer getting to build relationships with pets and their people. It’s great for all of us to have continuity of care.

Safety, trust & environment

My kitties are family and I love spoiling them and making sure they have healthy lives. I also use Rover when I visit my family and friends on the mainland, and know what it means to have someone else make sure that they are well cared for until I get back.

Information Kelsey G. would like to know about your pet

I will ask about your dog’s medical history, behavioral history/triggers, daily routine, diet, activity level, and anything that you feel is important that I know.

A typical day

I love to play! That’s a big reason I love dogs so much. I also really enjoy going for walks and being outside. I usually inquire about what activities doggies are accustomed to and assess what is safe for them to do. Every dog is unique and has favorite activities. Also, some activities that may be safe and fun for one dog, may not be for another. Once I know the dog, I am eager to provide the physical and mental stimulation they need.

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved animals as long as I can remember. I have had a lot of pets ranging from a pony to turtles to cockatiels. I have four kitties that are my world 🌏 I’m always grateful for the opportunity to love on other animals too! 🥰 I have been a pet sitter on Rover previously when I was a travel RN in Seattle. I currently work at Krishna Cow Sanctuary and have a flexible schedule.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
