Kelsey M.

About: Hi there! I moved to California exactly a year ago, and it’s been such a joy connecting with new paw-rents and their amazing animals. I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including kennel work, fostering, house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I previously worked for a pet care agency in Florida similar to Rover, and I take this work very seriously—every pet in my care is treated like family. What sets me apart is that I’m a student groomer, a practical animal communicator, and a passionate animal advocate. I also have an upcoming grooming internship, and my long-term dream is to become a veterinarian to help stray animals and families who can’t afford care. I’ve worked in dog daycare and absolutely loved it. I currently live with three dogs (my babies!) and two beloved rats, my soul creatures. I have a soft spot for rescue animals and often foster until they find their forever homes. I'm also open to caring for other animals besides dogs—whether it’s cats, small animals, or even the unusual! (Just no T-Rexes, please 🦖😭) I’m honest about my availability, respectful of your home, and always focused on making sure both you and your pet feel safe and supported. Every animal deserves love, dignity, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m also trilingual! I speak English, Spanish, and ASL—so feel free to reach out in the language that works best for you. I believe care should be accessible, inclusive, and heart-centered 🐾💛 My dogs & rats eat breakfast every morning at 10am, enjoy small veggie snacks around noon, and have dinner at 4pm. Their health and routine matter to me, so I carry that same care and consistency over to the pets I care for. Pet care is not just part of my routine—it’s part of who I am. My furkids are my family—so if your dog is friendly and gets along with others, I’m happy to welcome them in. I’m easygoing, but I do ask for honesty about your dog’s behavior, health issues, and whether they’re potty trained. If your dog has an accident due to anxiety, illness, or youth, that’s absolutely okay—I understand and will help however I can. But if I’m not informed ahead of time and your dog isn’t potty trained, I do charge $100/night, as it affects my home and how my own dogs behave. I’ve fostered before, raised puppies and kittens, and even cared for momma animals—so I’m flexible. What matters most to me is clear, honest communication. If we work as a team, everyone (pets included!) will be happy.

About: When I think about what pets need I, of course, think of food and water, but also love and patience. What sets me apart from other sitters is my determination to provide pets with all four. As a pet owner myself I’m capable of caring for all the needs a pet has. My childhood dog, Bear, is now a senior dog and has to be taken care of in ways we never had to when he was younger. Since I live in different states now, the visit at the vet was a scary one for my mother as well as for me since. His constant cough had the vet looking at his heart and since he’s an older dog we only expected bad news. With the cough medicine they gave my mom we knew things were about to change. I helped my mom with suggestions on a few accommodations for him like adding a step stool on the side of the bed and changing his diet as well. She would explain now in the mornings she has to feed him his medication for breakfast (which she hides in a slice of Turkey so he doesn’t notice). During exercise we learned we had to make sure they were slow paced, gauging how he was feeling and taking breaks when he visibly looked tired. All these extra steps she takes every day makes me love and appreciate him even more even if it’s from a distance. Whether it be a puppy or a senior dog, whenever I’m visiting them I’m always eager to take care and show my love for them. We also have another dog, Bella, that’s a few years younger than my senior dog and I was able to train both of them to use the new doggy door we installed. It took time and patience but now they come in and out without my help. I have experience in caring for my dogs from laying out pee pads to showing them new tricks even as they get older. I realized that my mom is fortunate enough to have a schedule to be able to care for her dogs, but not everyone is the same. That’s why I want to help my community, to care for their pets especially for those with extra needs. I’m willing to meet the pets beforehand to make sure we’re a great fit! Pet care fits perfectly in both my daily and weekly routine since I would say I’ve perfected it over the years. Since installing a doggy door I didn’t have to worry about their potty breaks anymore as they go in and out freely. However before then, I worked close to home so I would feed them in the morning, let them out before work, drop in during my lunch and let them out, and after work we would go for a walk. They also learned that sitting against the sliding door was a sign they needed to go to the bathroom. For my cats, I set up specific times to feed them and I will adjust the time frames if need be. I always made time for their needs on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Providing my pets with food and water is the basic necessity I give them to show them I care for their well being. I also make sure to are up to date with their shots and vaccinations. They are groomed every month and for my previous cats who were outdoors we put a tick collar on them. Taking my dogs on walks is how I used to get them their daily exercise in and for my cats playing with them with their toys though they get plenty enough on their own with their zoomies. All my pets were already spayed/neutered before we adopted them and during the adoption process we set up their microchips. My pets have all slept indoor and have various places for them to roam, play, and sleep. I understand the importance of daily playtime therefore I devote at minimum 30 minutes a day. For my dogs I would play fetch and utilize various cat toys with catnip for my cats. I make sure to clean up after my pets both outside and inside. Cleaning their bowls and their droplets.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 7 years, including my 4 cats and a bearded dragon who are very friendly and chill. I also pray for and feed the stray animals in my neighborhood because I care deeply about their well-being. I treat my pets like my children—I make sure they’re fed, bathed, and always feel safe and loved. I can’t be away from them for too long because they need me, and honestly, I need them too. Animals mean the world to me, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care. You can trust they’ll be safe and happy in my hands. I’m usually available on weekends, and during the week I’m free after 12 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On all other weekdays, I’m available starting at 9 AM. I’m flexible and always happy to adjust my schedule to meet the needs of the pets in my care. I have a calm, pet-safe home with 4 loving cats—two love being around me all the time, while the other two prefer quiet, hidden spots to rest. I also have a proper setup for my bearded dragon. I can easily separate animals if needed. Whether in your home or mine, I follow all care instructions carefully, keep things clean, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply cared for with gentle, one on one attention. - The reason I'm providing low prices is because I'm new to Rover and I'd like to keep quality pet care within reach of as many families as possible while I build up my profile and nice reviews. Not because I provide low-quality service—I want you to feel assured and at ease in hiring me to look after your pets, knowing they'll receive trustworthy and loving attention without going over your budget.

About: I have owned multiple pets which include dogs, cats, horses, pigs and tortoises. I have had 5 English bulldogs which have taught me a lot about special needs, medication administration and hygiene. I can be available when needed with some notice. Looking to help as many furry friends and their families as possible. Come find out if we are a match. I have a fenced yard and two family friendly dogs. I also have 2 tortoises. Your furry friend will be involved in what we do while they a here. Companion is the hope here.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and for the past 13 years I’ve been consistently caring for my own pups. Over the years I’ve worked with just about every breed you can imagine: Terriers, Huskies, Dobermans, Pitbulls, Boxers, Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Labs, Schnauzers, Poodles, Pomeranians, Border Collies, German Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, and more. No matter the size, age, or personality, I love getting to know each dog and what makes them happiest. At home, my wife and I share life with two Huskies and a cat, who we treat like our kids (yes birthdays and all!). Because I know how important our pets are to us, I extend the same level of love, patience, and care to every pet I look after. I come prepared with tandem leashes, a pet stroller, and standard leashes for walks of all kinds. I always pick up after your pup and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time outside. For peace of mind, I’ve completed First Aid & CPR training (through both college and my career), and I stay up-to-date on general emergency response. While my certifications are human-focused, my training has given me the ability to quickly assess situations and take action; whether that means recognizing signs of overheating, making sure hydration is available, or adjusting for temperature and activity levels. I’m also OSHA certified, which means safety and awareness are second nature to me. Your pets will be in caring, capable hands, and I’ll treat them like my own from the moment we meet. I currently work a full-time government job. My wife is a teacher, so our lives are pretty busy. I am looking to do this as a part-time and enjoy combining a few things I enjoy: pets and exercise. Current Schedule: I get up around Noon, on the days I work (Wed, Thurs, Friday, Sat, Sun) I work from 6PM to 6AM. I will only accept care appointments between 1PM and 4:30PM. On Monday and Tuesday I will accept care appointments between 1PM and 6PM. Currently boarding is off the tables since my wife and I are busy. But I can make drop-in visits! In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they always have access to fresh water, healthy food on schedule, clean bedding, and plenty of love and attention. I keep playtime safe but fun, and I’m mindful of the temperature, hydration, and overall comfort of every pet in my care. My own pets get birthday celebrations, vitamins, and daily exercise, and I extend that same level of care to visiting pets. In a client’s home, I respect your routines and follow instructions closely so your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. That means sticking to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes or outdoor areas, refreshing water bowls, and making sure walks, playtime, and cuddle time happen as you prefer. I also handle clean-up (messes, accidents, fur, or litter) so your home is just as you left it. My goal in either setting is to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in capable and loving hands.

About: I have gained lots of skills in my profession working at shelters and animal hospitals. For both, I was responsible for feeding, cleaning and grooming all the animals we housed. Even vet care if needed. So no need to worry, nothing will come to a surprise for me! I’m currently working at California Wolf Center. My time is partly taken however I am willing to alternate my schedule to whatever suits your calendar best! I have a fenced yard and a home that is open to the dog/puppy. I do have two fur babies of my own that love to play with new friends, however my attention would be fully focused on yours to ensure they are enjoying themselves while they stay with us.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. Ive always been that type of girl to pick up stray animals and treat them as if they were my own babies (which they basically are lol). My father used to be a veterinarian so he’s taught me a lot of things about animals and I’ve always used that knowledge when taking care of my own pets. I am an animal lover, I love animals with all my heart and getting to meet and take care of these furry babies just warms my heart. I specialize in potty breaks, playtime and bathing, and gentle care. My priority is making sure your fur baby gets exactly what they need, whether it be belly rubs, a nice walk Ect! I also pay attention to little details, like whether your cats likes chins scratches over back pats. My main goal when taking care of your furry friend is to make them feel safe and loved, while giving you some peace of mind with updates on your pet and pictures! You’ll get to see some of the photos of me with animals when I was just a kid! I’m currently enrolled into school but only Wednesday through Fridays. I have availability the rest of the week/weekends, full days. And possibly afternoons on the three days I go to school :) I treat your space with care and respect, and I make sure your pet feels totally at ease in their own cozy environment. I follow your instructions to the letter, meals, walks, cuddles, even which window they love to sit by. I also keep you updated with cute pics and messages, so you never feel far away from your little one. 😚

About: I’ve been working with dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic German Shepherds—since I was 15 years old.
