Availability

Pet care fits well into my routine as I’m currently a student enrolled in community college with a flexible schedule. During the summer, I’m available to walk dogs and care for pets at almost any time of day. In the fall and spring semesters, I plan my availability around my classes, so I can still provide reliable care throughout the week. I make sure to stay organized so that pet care remains a consistent and important part of my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they’re well-fed, taken out for walks as needed, and given plenty of attention and care. I always clean up after them and keep the space tidy and comfortable. For overnight stays, my boyfriend accompanies me - he has experience from joining me on many family and friend pet sitting jobs, and I feel more comfortable having two sets of eyes to ensure the pets are safe and well cared for. Together, we provide reliable and attentive care, so your pets feel relaxed and at home in their own space. I’ve included some pictures of him taking care of pets under my profile photo gallery. When I’m caring for a client’s pet in my home, I make sure they settle in comfortably. I try to stick to their daily routine as much as possible and make accommodations when necessary. I have plenty of cat toys including mice, wands, and puzzles. Every pet is free to wander the house as they please. I have litter boxes on both floors of the house. There is plenty of space in the house, therefore a client’s pet does not have to interact with my own cat and can be separated. When a pet stays here, they will feel safe and cared for.

Information Rosabella O. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know a pet’s routine, including their energy level and what specific food they eat and any foods they need to avoid. I would also like to know if they have a history of trying to escape as it helps me keep them safe. It’s also essential to be aware of any medications they’re on and what their behavior is like so I can provide the best care for their needs.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch includes lots of playing, walks, and cuddles. I make sure they get plenty of exercise and have fun with games like fetch or interactive toys. I also spend a lot of time giving pets and cuddles because I know how important attention is to them.

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13, regularly pet sitting for family and friends. I’ve looked after pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets who need a little extra care and patience. In addition to traditional pet care, I’ve also worked at my college’s Sustainability Lab where I cared for reptiles and aquatic animals, including fish, axolotls, geckos, and insects - handling feeding, tank maintenance, water checks, and cleanings. I understand that every pet is different, and I always do my best to meet their unique needs whether that means quiet companionship, active play, or a structured routine. What sets me apart is my diverse experience, my flexibility with scheduling, and the fact that I have my own reliable transportation.

Rosabella was excellent, she was patient with my dog who is anxious around strangers, she was on-time and left the house clean. Highly recommend Rosabella.

Rosabella was great! I received lots of pictures as part of my rover card each time she checked in on my cat, Roscoe. It was clear from the start that Roscoe was comfortable with her (both from our meet and greet prior to her check ins and in the pictures throughout her time with him). I had no doubt that he was well taken care of while I was away, which is major considering I am a worried cat parent and often need reassurance while away from my cat.
