About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and my ability to provide specialized care. I have a 10-year-old dog that I personally trained and continue to care for through his senior years, managing complications from old age and two ACL tears With dedicated rehab and treatment. In addition to this, I rescued two kittens when they were only two days old, bottle feeding them for months after losing their mother. I’ve also worked on a horse ranch where I trained and rescued horses, and took care of a range of animals, including pigs, goats, cattle, chickens, and more. My experience with hunting dogs and my background in animal rehab rehabilitation further sets me apart, as I understand, the unique needs for each animal, and I’m committed to providing the best care possible. Whether it’s specialized training, senior care, or helping with recovery from injury, I bring compassion, expertise, and a deep love for animals to every sitting experience. I’m currently a student athlete at UH Hilo with most of my weekday availability after 11am and I have a lot of availability on the weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize respect and attention to detail. I always ensure your properties is treated with almost care, keeping everything clean and organized. I follow any specific instructions you provide, whether it’s maintaining routines, administering medications, or adhering to house rules. Your pets, comfort and well-being on my top priorities, and I make sure to create a safe, calm environment for them while respecting your space and preferences. You can count on me to follow through with whatever is requested to ensure both you and your pet are happy and at ease.

9. Kelsey G.
About: 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. 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. 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.
