Hi there! I am a Rover Mom as well as caregiver and I know how important it is to find a good match for your animal. Thank you so much for stopping by my profile. My name is Kelsey, and though I am new to Rover I have well over 10 years of pet care experience in many forms. ABOUT ME: I previously had two of my own dogs, both of whom were rescues and struggled with some behavioral reactivity and physical health issues. I now have one dog and have also fostered many via Dallas Animal Services. This has led me to interact with dogs of every age, size, and temperament. I am able to care for any dog from large and anxious, to tiny and confident. While I care for and love all pups and kitties, I specialize in separation anxiety, fearfulness, and medical needs. I am a nurse and can administer medication of any form (and no charge!). Though I have overall less experience with cats, I do love them, too! I had cats from before I was born until college graduation, so they have been a consistent presence in my life. I do admittedly have less experience caring for them as an adult but am definitely looking forward to changing that! While my care is mainly focused on drop ins and walks, I do offer some other services! HOUSE SITTING: Do you want your pet to have more than the traditional three drop ins a day? Are they OK alone overnight but need more daily care? Consider my “house sitting” option! Please note that I will NOT stay overnight during this sit. However, I will spend the majority of my free time there. This is priced as 3.5 30 minute visits, but is actually multiple hours of care time. Bookings will mainly be accepted during weekends, and we will work together to create a scheduling structure you’re comfortable with. Pricing is set with travel and time away from my home and dog in mind. Reach out to see if we can align! BOARDING: Stays over 2 nights will require a trial day! Pups must be house and crate trained, dog friendly, and OK with walks only. They will not be able to sleep in my bed at night. If your request includes a weekday, they need to be able to be crated for a typical workday (depending on my work schedule). I’m able to take pets in my home on a conditional basis—feel free to reach out! I can only accommodate one dog at a time. A note on pricing: my pricing is built to partially compensate the 30% fee that Rover takes from sitters. I’m aware they take from clients as well. It’s important for me to be accessible while also valuing my efforts. If you’d like to discuss pricing specifically or it is a barrier for you, I would happy to speak with you. PS: I really enjoy trying to get good photos of pups, so don’t be surprised if a quick photo shoot is included!
