About: I love all animals and can care for dogs, cats, chickens and more! Mom of 4 grown kids, 2 dogs and 6 chickens...Recently retired from 25yrs in law enforcement and I have time on my hands and I'd love to make your animal feel loved and taken care of while you are unable to and know that I'm a trusted person around your babies and inside your home. I've had all kinds of animals and I can care for them all! Special needs, puppies to seniors...I can do it all. Tail wags are my specialty!! Currently retired and my schedule is pretty open. I will travel periodically and but for the most part I'm home with my 2 dogs and my husband still works a lot. I love animals and wanted to work with them once I retired after 25yrs of law enforcement. I can come to your house and stay as long as you need and play with your babies. I would treat them like my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable and safe.

“Kelsey was just what we needed for our 1 year old Zuzu’s She was capable on time and communicative. Zuzu took to her right away. Zuzu ate all her meals which can sometimes be challenging. We look forward to having Kelsey’s care for Zuzu again.”
About: Growing up with at least 2 dogs in my home since childhood, I have a soft spot for all dogs and am always willing to do whatever is needed to see the goofy smiles on all dog’s faces! Grew up with larger energetic dogs, no breed is too much for me to handle. I’m currently a full time college student home for the summer. I work long hours on weekends, but am very flexible during weekdays for both day visits and overnight care. I am strictly an on site sitter and cannot bring dogs to my own home as I do not have the proper yard or living space to accommodate your dogs to the full potential. Having experience pet-sitting in previous clients’ homes, I am always cautious of other’s property and boundaries, as well as the animal’s boundaries.
“We love our senior pup like a child but since he is unable to walk and somewhat incontenent we couldn't bring him on our trip to see relatives. Summer did an amazing job with him and our two kitties. She communicated with us throughout our trip, giving us a high comfort level that our pup was being well taken care of. She went above and beyond for all of our pets, trimming our cats nails and giving our pup a grooming with our prior permission. We came home to a clean house and happy pets! I would not hesitate to have her house/pet sit again and you can feel confident that she will be taking great care of your loves. That kind of peace of mind is priceless.”
About: I have been actively caring for my family’s dogs since I was 10 years old, meeting their needs through every stage of life — from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. My experience includes administering medications, managing dietary restrictions, and even helping a dog recover from a toe amputation. I’ve loved my pets through every stage of life, and I’d be honored to give that same care and attention to yours. I’m comfortable managing the needs of multiple pets and have a gentle, patient approach with shy or timid animals who need a little extra reassurance when their family is away. With me, your pets will be cared for as if they were my own. In addition to dogs, I’m happy to care for small animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule while you’re away. I work full-time Monday–Friday from 7-5. I’m available for evening care and over night stays during the week with pets who do well with being left alone during the day. On weekends and holidays, I can offer full-time care, giving your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your instructions closely so their routines stay consistent and stress free. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet like family by keeping doors and gates secure, using leashes or harnesses as directed, and always supervising outdoor time. Whether it’s administering medication or offering extra cuddles, I take every step to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for until you return.
