Dependable & loving “pet” therapist
Pet care experience
Hi Dog and Cat Moms and Dads, my name is Kelsey and I have 29 years of personal, professional, and volunteer experiences pet-sitting, walking, and using pet-assisted therapy in my therapy practice. I am experienced with dogs, cats, and any other pets! Thank you for the opportunity to brighten your fur babies’ day while they brighten mine! I finished my doctorate in clinical psychology and am a professor at Fuller In Pasadena right now while awaiting my license to practice psychology (I can work from any home that has good wifi though since its 99% telework). I am truly enthusiastic about connecting with animals at their own pace using their unique communication style. I may be a therapist for humans, but this helps me with animals who need special care and patience. I am a volunteer at Priceless Pets Rescue ♥️ I am actually currently sitting for a dog and two cats while writing this! I am committed to giving your animals the best love and care! I teach in Pasadena 2 times a week for like an hour at a time and otherwise work remotely, this allows for a lot of flexibility in my schedule and a lot of time for your fur babies :) I am very attentive and observant and detail-oriented in following pet-parent instructions. I love to walk, play, cuddle, and do any services your animals need to be happy and healthy while you’re away! I also will leave your place cleaner than I found it! ;)
Reviews
Kelsey was great with my senior dog! Sent me so many photos and really accommodated for her lifestyle as an elderly animal??? 11/10
I don’t even have the words to describe how great kelsey was! she treated my little ollie like a king! I was sent photos every day and she called my nerves as it was my first time leaving my puppy overnight! When I first got there, she walked me through my home, let me play with ollie and get him settled before I left, which calmed ollie and my nerves! When I came to pick him up, she walked me though everything I dropped off with him to make sure nothing was missing! Her fur baby rocky was also so sweet and so well trained! she even took ollie under her wing and helped train him while in her care! I would recommend kelsey to ANYONE! she loves fur babies and I would trust her with my dog over and over!
Kelsey was the absolute best dog and house sitter we could have found. It was our first time using Rover and my husband and I were a bit hesitant to just reach out to a stranger. But Kels eased our fears quickly, agreed to come meet our dog and see our home ahead of the trip, and we hit it off right away. We were gone for 3 nights and never worried once about our pup. Kels sent photos regularly and our dog absolutely loved her. The house was neat and clean when we returned, and she helped us orchestrate a couple package deliveries/pick ups too. We will definitely be using her more in the future. Cannot recommend enough! The absolute best. 10/10.
Our Kelsey, Well Joey's Kelsey ? You just know when you get home from 7 days away that your baby Boy is just fine and happy!? 6 stars! Thank you again Kelsey ?

Information Kels F. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how best to greet the dog in order to make the best connection and make them feel comfortable. I grew up with dogs and have pet sit for every breed from Saint Bernards, pit bulls, to tiny mini yorkies. I love all dogs and am a very strong and tall woman who can keep up with energetic dogs or cuddle with low-energy fur babies. For cats I would love to know what makes your cat feel comfortable and cared for ❤️
A typical day
So many walks!! Also I love to play fetch, tug-of-war, and give so many tummy rubs. I love cuddling if the doggie is a cuddler :) I am a regular at local dog parks if that is something you would like for your pet. I connect with nervous dogs at their own pace and have been told I am a calming presence.
