Safety, trust & environment

I have a small apartment where I ensure my cat is stimulated with toys and looking out the window. At clients’ homes, I will ensure their safety by making sure the doors are locked, the gates are locked, they are leashed properly, etc. while also entertaining them.

Information Kelsey C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any special needs or behaviors that I should account for (importantly if they are aggressive or if I should know of any places on their body they do not like to be touched, etc.)

A typical day

I play with my cat at least three times a day to stimulate him, whether it be in his tunnel, with a string toy, or with electronic mouse toys. I love to run around with dogs or give them a long walk. I am a very active person so it is enjoyable for me just as much as it is for them.

Reliable and fun cat/dog caretaker

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a proud owner of a senior cat (Tokiga, 13 y/o), trained volunteer at the Humane Rescue Alliance in DC, and grew up taking care of dogs. I am a reliable and trustworthy caretaker with experience of taking care of my family's and friend's pets. I also have experience of taking care of pets while sick and after major surgeries. I am very flexible and can adjust my schedule when needed. I also have a car so location is less of a barrier. I would love to take care of your pet! Let's work together :)

Kelsey was diligent with Sydney. Played with him and kept him happy. And lots of pictures which I appreciated!

Kelsey was extremely communicative, patient, and kind while watching my cat that requires daily medication. She ensured that my cat was well taken care of, medicated, and treated daily, and I am greatly appreciative for her help and care!

Kelsey was great with my very timid cat and was able to connect with her quickly, making me feel so much better about leaving my kitty behind on a trip. Kelsey also followed my complicated instructions well and kept me updated :) Would rebook!
