Expert Rover Pet Care

Single-Day Weekend Sittings- Currently, I can only accept single-day or 24-hour overnight housesittings that take place on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday if the quote is for 2 days. If it is a daysitting that can be booked as a few drop-in visits of a few hours, it would not need a 2-day quote, and the drop-in visit quote would be readjusted to that of a single-day housesitting. As Rover doesn't have a housesitting option for a handful of hours, feel free to contact me to ask about your sitting! Disneyland Hotel Day Sittings- I am currently available for Disneyland hotel petsittings during the weekdays and weekends, but would request a parking pass! Drop-In Visit Quotes- My second drop-in rate would be less than my first drop-in rate. My rate for two visits would not exceed my overnight rate. I can send an updated quote if you ask for multiple visits in a day! Reconsider Ghosting For House Sitting Requests!- I am only able to receive 1 house sitting request at a time for each date, so if your plans go in a different direction, please let me know so that I may make these dates available again! Hello Rover Petowners! My name is Kelsey! I am a house sitter, dogwalker, and drop-in visitor. I've been petsitting for dogs, cats, horses, parrots, fishes, and many other pets back in the general Orange County area since 2009! I can petsit in the Orange County (including coastal areas!) and Los Angeles County! I am willing to travel 10 miles from the radius of Anaheim--close to Disneyland! I always work with one family at a time for overnight petsitting to ensure the priority of just their pets! The benefit of house sitting is that your dog with feel comfortable with their own environment. I have no animals that I would be bringing with me! With a plethora of references (over 200 5-star reviews), you can count on me to take care of your fur babies while you're away! . . . After graduating from Cal State Fullerton, I have worked as a responsible petsitter and freelance artist, so I can make sure your pups and kitties have company! If your house is dirty, I can provide light house-cleaning like watering the grass, vacuuming, washing plates, dusting, bringing in important package deliveries, and countless of other things. I offer walks, running, showering (light), grooming (light), feeding, and cleaning! . . . I look forward in taking care of your pet! Contact me if you have further questions or would like to schedule a meet and greet appointment. Thank you. :) . . . Why I love dog sitting- I grew up with pups. After that, I've helped take care of four furry felines and two big pups. I clean their cages, take the pups out for walks, pamper them, and groom them. They were enamored with their chew toys and would enjoy a game a fetch! . . . Since 2009, I've been pet-sitting for many families while they were going in vacation or needed to have someone give extra attention to their pets! From taking care of dogs, cats, horses, parrots, fishes, turtles and tortoises, mice, hamsters and guinea pigs, I have grown to be more of a necessity to help families in need of the extra care to their pets! :) . . . My experience administering medication I have taken care of 3-legged animals, pets with disabilities, and paraplegic pups. Therefore, no task is to big or small for me to handle. There has been instances where I had to precisely provide medication at 7am and 7pm for two consecutive weeks! Fur babies love the comfort of their own environment. I do freelance work remotely, and will be able to dedicate the day to giving your fur babies the company they love! Your babies love their own home. I would be sticking to their usual routine for their comfort and enjoyment. We can use a meet-and-greet to discuss anything else that would make them comfortable.

Kelsey truly went above and beyond while watching my baby girl Lily! She had no issues with administering Lily’s medications and vitamins! She sent plenty of pictures and I booked her for overnights and she was very respectful of the space! She treated Lily just as her own and I would definitely have her again watching over my heart on four paws! Thank you Kelsey!

Kelsey was great with our babies! They all felt very comfortable around her, and she sent fantastic photos of them. The house was in perfect condition when we came home.

Kelsey was great with Esso and Beatrice! She stayed overnight, took awesome care of them, and we came home to two happy pups. Easy to communicate with and very reliable — would definitely book again.

Pets

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your pet- As a freelancing storyboard and digital illustration artist, this enables me to have the flexibility to be with your lovely pet throughout the majority of the day and overnight! My work travels wherever I go--as long as I have my drawing tablet/laptop! Unlike other sitters that have their typical 9am-5pm work shift or have to be out for long periods of time, I can provide attention, affection, and love to your pet(s) in the morning/afternoon/and night! I'll be able to play fetch dogs, run with them in the backyard or take them out for scenic walks/runs, reward food and treats after each successful command, bring my laser pointer to play with the furry felines, embrace them as if they were my pets. put on the saddle on your horse to give him or her exercise. I'll be committed to stay overnight, as per your request. :) Extra house-sitting services- As a dedicated pet-sitter, I am willing to guard the house, water plants, water grass, vacuum, bring in/out the trash, wash plates, bring in mail, making sure that pet medications gets received at a timely manner.
