Zookeeper to love your fur baby❤️

Pet care experience

I have been at the KC Zoo for 6 years and have worked In animal care for over 9 years! I have gained lots of experience in anything from medical care, animal training, to basic animal behavior! I have worked in a facility that provided boarding service and did not agree with how the animals were cared for. I have 2 fur babies of my own and I know exactly how I want them to be cared for while I am away, so I would love to be able to provide the same service to you as well. I can administer medications topically, orally, or subcutaneous injection. Happy to go on walks or slow jogs with pets! I will provide pictures and updates as often as you would like. Can’t wait to meet and fall in love with your fur-baby!

Kelsey stayed with our dog Barney while we were gone to Pensacola. She did a good job and sent us pictures and kept us posted on things that were going on.

I couldn’t be more pleased with Kelsey! She is professional and compassionate and truly loves animals. We are new to the area and I can’t believe I have found such a gem! Thank you Kelsey and thank you Rover!!

The pets in my home are treated as family members. I have a lot of experience reading behavior and analyzing how animals are feeling and how to adjust to meet the needs of individuals. Your pet is not just another pet for me, I will do my best to get to know their personality and behaviors to give them the least stressful experience while their favorite humans are away!

Information Kelsey D. would like to know about your pet

What are the main signs your dog shows when they are stressed? How do you personally make your pet have the best day ever? If they do get stressed or upset how do you try to mitigate that behavior? How can I give your pet the best experience?

A typical day

I like to try and get to know my fur clients as quickly as possible so I can know what they love! I will walk, jog, train, play fetch or tug of war, anything that will keep your pet the happiest while you’re away!
