Reviews
Kelsey is amazing! She took great care of Remy and kept us updated with pictures throughout the night. Thank you Kelsey!
My pups, Beatrice and Coco, just finished their first stay with Kelsey and it certainly won't be their last. The girls had an amazing time as proven by the consistent, happy photos and updates we received from Kelsey while away. Kelsey's demeanor and attentiveness to our girls truly put us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our time away. She was consistently responsive and even helped troubleshoot a low kibble situation. We loved receiving our daily updates and photos and even joked that she needs her own Instagram account due to the beautiful pictures and humorous yet highly informative commentary. I highly recommend Kelsey to any dog owner! As proven by my pups who happily trotted off after their pick-up, your dog will love their time in her care.
As always, Kelsey was a gem. She’s one of the kindest people I’ve met, and is very patient with my fearful pup. She always informs me of concerns and questions she has, and gives a thorough note on how her walks are with Maya. I appreciate her help and am 100% comfortable with having her walk Maya.
Kelsey was extremely nice and accomodating with Maya. She listened to my instructions and gave me good feedback to help my dog Maya adjust to the big city life. I would definitely recommend her, and will be rebooking with her in the future! Thanks Kelsey!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Owning my own dog allows me a good sense of the safety of my home and regular walking routes. I find the initial few hours with a new pup are important for establishing trust, boundaries, and most of all safety. Therefore, I reserve ample attention for this the first day/night to establish a healthy start for all.
Home
Information Kelsey H. would like to know about your pet
Is your pup a hypoallergenic breed? (due to allergies we are limited to these varieties) Any fear or anxiety triggers for your pup? If so, what best soothes them? If your pup has potty accidents indoors, under what circumstances do they occur?
A typical day
Washington Square Park and surrounding areas are our everyday walking zone. I am a community builder type, familiar with many local dog owners, walkers, building staff, etc. I will keep your dog physically active & socially engaged. Several of our very familiar guest pup pals have joined us for overnight trips to Hudson Valley or Southampton. With pup-owners’ permission and support, we have had amazing times together! Running in fall foliage, snow covered fields, and taught a couple pup pals how to swim even. It is a joy to be so trusted by our long-time clients and to play with them in both rural and urban settings. We love building strong relationships.
