Safety, trust & environment
Your pet will be treated as if they were my own. Safety is incredibly important to me, and I want you to feel completely at ease trusting me with someone so special to you.
Information Kelsey C. would like to know about your pet
Every pet is different, and I love getting to know them! Sharing your pet’s routine, preferences, health needs, and personality quirks (passionate about chasing squirrels, sensitivity to loud noises, etc.) ahead of time helps me make each visit feel comfortable, familiar, and fun. Please make sure to have your Veterinarian’s info up to date on your profile. I’m always happy to chat through Rover messaging or set up a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit and answer any questions.
A typical day
I love making each visit fun while still matching your pet’s energy level. Activities can include engaging walks with plenty of sniffing time, gentle play, enrichment games, and lots of affection like head scratches and cuddle time. I always follow your pet’s routine and your preferences so they feel comfortable, happy, and relaxed.

Pet care experience
Hi there! Thanks so much for checking out my profile 😊 I’ve been an avid animal lover for many years and truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels. I grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, you name it, I wanted it! 😃 I have a 3-pound Yorkie who is the light of my life, tiny dog, big personality. I have experience caring for and walking dogs of all sizes, from tiny 3-pound pups to large breeds 90 pounds and up. I’m comfortable handling different energy levels, leash styles, walking needs and always prioritize safety and control. I’ve also fostered dogs of many different breeds and ages, from puppies to seniors. Fostering has taught me so much, how to read body language, adjust care styles quickly, build trust with new dogs, and support each dog’s unique needs as they settle into a routine. In addition, I’ve worked closely with several animal rescues as a volunteer, I currently work for a non-profit that supports animal rescues and charities across the country. We host rescue events and interacting with the dogs 🐶 and cats 🐱 (and seeing them find their forever homes) is easily my favorite part. I feel very lucky to do work that makes a difference. Since I work part-time from home, I have flexible availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day and evening. How I structure a 30 or 60 minute walk: Each walk is thoughtfully paced and tailored to your dog’s needs. A typical walk (depending on your pet’s needs) includes: • A focused, attentive walk with plenty of sniffing and movement • Potty breaks and comfort check-ins • Super cute photos • Bringing in any packages or mail while I’m there • Refreshing your dog’s water bowl/feeding • Most importantly, some pets, head scratches, and cuddle time before I leave 🐾 Drop-ins for dogs/cats are structured similarly and can be fully adjusted based on your pet’s routine whether that means feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medication, or simply calm companionship and affection. I pride myself on clear, consistent communication and know how important it is to pet parents. I’m happy to provide a Rover card with updates, photos, and notes during visits so you always feel informed and confident while your pet is in my care. I have experience caring for senior or medical dogs and am happy to slow things down when needed. Comfort, safety, and your pet’s individual pace always come first. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m really looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐶💛 *You can find my Welcome Letter in my photos with everything you need to know- pricing, scheduling, and cancellation policies all in one place. I reserve dedicated time for every pet in my care. Because of this, the following cancellation policy applies: • To avoid the Rover cancellation fee (50%), cancel prior to 12:00pm the day before the booking • Cancellations made within 24 hours will be charged in full Thank you for understanding, this helps me manage my schedule and availability for all clients. Don’t miss some of my adorable doggy clients I've had the joy of caring for over the years in my photo album 🐶

Chico loves Kelsey! Thanks 🙏

Kelsey always takes the best care of Moose! She truly loves him like he's her own and makes sure his water is clean and he has toys to pay with! She is always flexible with booking and always leaves the best notes on her rover cards! Moose loves her!

Kelsey did a wonderful job of taking care of our pup! It was wonderful meeting her. She comes fully prepared with her own treats and supplies as well as a loving and caring attitude. We would love to have her do drop ins for us in the future.

Kelsey is the best walker we have ever had!
