Pet lover with lots of love to give

Pet care experience

PLEASE READ MY WORK SCHEDULE BEFORE REQUESTING. THIS IS LOCATED IN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH. I grew up having fur babies in the home, primarily medium sized dogs, but I did have a Persian cat of my own and had other cats in the home at different times as well. I also helped bathe our family dogs. While living in Atlanta several years ago, I started a very small referral only pet sitting business where I would stay at my clients' homes for one night to as long as two weeks. This worked out well for my clients, their fur babies, and myself. I also did short drop in visits during the day at my clients' homes as well; however, this was rare. I once pet sat for a client with a small, elderly dog that was deaf and blind and another client who had a blind Pitbull mix. I also pet sat numerous times for a client who had one outdoor only cat and two indoor only cats. She had a special diet and different feeding routine for each cat and one of them had no teeth.

Kelsey is the best! She was so attentive to my pet. She kept me informed. She took great care of my home and left everything spotless. I couldn't image anyone doing better.

Kelsey responded quickly and was available for a meet & greet the next day. She asked for clarification and followed our instructions. Kelsey was thoughtful and helpful. Auggie loved having her there to care for him, and our neighbors even gave her great reviews. I would hire Kelsey again anytime!

Kelsey did an excellent job with all our fur babies. Pictures were sent, constant updates, and the house was left clean when we returned home.

Kelsey was awesome with our 2 dogs and cat. It was wonderful to know they were in good hands while we were away.

Safety, trust & environment

When staying at clients' homes, I take it very seriously and appreciate clients allowing me into their sacred space and entrusting me with their fur babies; any request is truly appreciated. I try to keep the routine as normal as possible and recognize that I am a stranger in the beginning and allow for the fur babies to get used to me. I don't have any physical limitations so, for example, if your dog needs a lot of exercise, I can run with him/her/them or facilitate other types of exercise. My only restriction in overnight pet sitting is in homes where a cigarette smoker resides/frequents (even if the smoking is only done outside), as I am extremely sensitive to the smell; I discovered this sensitivity after accepting a previous pet sitting booking. I prefer to do a meet and greet with pet owners prior to confirming overnight bookings. Of note: I am fully vaccinated. Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries.

Information Kelsey D. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special needs or little quirks that you feel are important about your pet(s), please advise. I'm used to pet owners giving me a heads up about all of this ahead of time, but I will definitely ask if need be.

A typical day

I can accommodate whatever routine your dog/cat is used to. Either way, he/she/they will get lots of love. If there's something special you'd like me to do with your pet(s), please feel free to ask!
