Safety, trust & environment

I will keep to the provided instructions for pet and home care when staying in a clients home. I strive to leave a place or person(or animal) better than I found it. I am willing to travel with your pets as well for any scheduled appointments or to exercise them at local dog parks or parks that allow dogs. I am an avid hiker and would love to take them for hikes if so desired. I also have significant experience with cat care and am willing to do the same for cats as I am for dogs. If there are any other animals in the house I am willing to discuss my experience and level of comfort with caring for them as well.

Information Kelsey B. would like to know about your pet

I love to know as much as possible about your dog(s) ahead of time; from breed to sleeping preferences and dietary needs and special quirks about your furry loved one. I will ask many questions during meet and greets to make sure I have a full picture of what your pets need.

A typical day

I love being active and hiking at all times of the year. If there are parks or trails near by we will definitely take advantage of those. I will use any toys and preferred activities that the owner describes as well that is part of the typical day.

Full Time Experienced Animal Care

Pet care experience

After 17 years of both personal and professional domestic animal care I decided to make it my full time job. I have experience with all domestic animals from dogs and cats to fish, small mammals, reptiles, birds, etc.; and what I don't know I am more than willing and excited to learn. My experience comes from my personal animal ownership, dogs, cats, a snake, fish and even a rat. It also stems from professional experience working at a boarding kennel/shelter, Pet Supplies Plus, 2+ years of Rover work, and volunteering with Rescued Treasures Pet Adoptions.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
