About: hi! i’m kelsie! i am a veterinary assistant and currently in school to become a veterinary technician. i have 2 years or vetmed experience and 1 year of farm/boarding kennel experience. i have watched multiple fur babies, from playful puppies to senior kitties. i work full time at a vet clinic. my breaks are one hour, and depending on the location, i am able to stop by then. if not, i am able to stop by before and after work. i make sure all animals have the basics such as water 24/7 and am big on feeding on time. i have experience with leash walking, so if you dont have a fence its no big deal! i also believe daily updates are very important and i tend to take tons of pictures :)

About: With 11 years of personal pet care experience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle handling, and attention. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every visit comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, respectful of established routines, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet with the same kindness and consideration I give my own. Pet care is already an important part of my everyday life, and I enjoy making time to care for animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, and quality time with pets throughout the week. I understand that every pet has its own schedule, so I do my best to work around their established routines. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, an afternoon visit, or some extra companionship, I’m happy to discuss arrangements that work for both of us. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications when applicable, and daily routines. I make sure doors and gates are secured, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment remains clean and comfortable. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs. I believe communication is essential, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. My goal is to give every pet a safe, positive experience while giving their owner peace of mind.

About: I changed the direction my life was going and found the REASON was Animal Care. I began volunteering at 2 local Humane Societies in 2013. Very shortly thereafter became employed at both Societies = working 7 days a week with animals. I adopted my first 2 pets (torti cats named Cali & Ava) in the Fall of 2013. Adopted a 3rd torti cat in the Spring of 2014 (named Hallie B). I adopted a chihuahua in the Fall of 2016 (named Clara my grandmother’s name). With the exception of Hallie B they have all crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The 1st in December 2020 then June 2021 and most recently in May of 2025 :-( 🐾🐾🐾 They were adopted as Seniors. They were the best. After 4 years of Humane Society work I changed direction again in 2017 to a more professional aspect of Animal Care becoming employed at a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant for over 7 years. I have performed a number of cat drop-ins around the Gloucester area for various residents affiliated with the Humane Society. One such assignment lasted for almost two months while the cat’s owners traveled to Florida for the winter. I currently work (outside of Animal Care) and so starting in November 2026 my 40 hours will be WEDNESDAY afternoon thru SATURDAY night. Those days I am usually available for Animal Care from 7am to 12pm. Sunday thru Tuesday I will be totally available. There is some flexibility with my full time work and the possibility of a little accommodation for Animal Care. I also have to spare some time for my own cat’s care. See my reviews / testimonials on the WAG! platform for pets I have provided care for most recently. Quality. Compassionate. Care. is what I provide pets. I want them to have the creature comforts that make them feel all warm and comfy and content.

About: I am open to caring for any and all pets. As someone who currently has 3 Great Pyrenees, an Austrian Kelpie puppy, and other pets, I am experienced in all areas and types. I have open availability to care for pets. I work for myself so build my schedule around jobs and appointments as needed. I am very flexible with accommodations so please reach out if you have any questions. I do not offer overnight in home care at the moment due to all of my pets at home but will gladly stay at your home with your pet. I can send pictures and videos of your pet to you and don't mind cameras in the home so you can drop in any time and see your fur and/or scaly baby.

About: I offer pet sitting, dog walking, baths, to give your pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I have dogs of my own who are treated like royalty, so I understand that our pets aren’t just animals — they’re family! I have 7 years of pet-sitting experience and have also completed an internship at a veterinary hospital. Your pets’ comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my priority. During each visit, I typically spend at least 30 minutes with your pets, with multiple visits available as needed. I’ll make sure they’re fed, get plenty of playtime, enjoy walks if requested, and receive lots of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friends to see how I can help make your time away a little easier and give you peace of mind! 🐾❤️ During week days I do walks / feeding in the morning , have a potty break 12-1 and then come back 5-6 for a walk & dinner & another let out around 9ish. Typically it’s how the owners have their yards set up but I do multiple walks a day with the pups and lots of play time!

About: I have experience in daycare/boarding settings, i have experience with high drive dogs, I do dog sports with my own personal dog so i am pretty confident in my handling skills.

I grew up on a farm full of dogs and other animals ive always owned dogs especially bully breeds ive been around dogs will all ages, behaviors and sizes my family and friends all know my love for animals and how good i am with them and how much i care about them even when they arent my own.
