Pet care experience

Experienced and reliable sitter!

Hi! I’m Kelsey Espada from North Brunswick, NJ. I’m 27 and work full-time as a Project Manager in a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to care for pets. I’ve grown up with animals — I currently have experience with dogs, cats, birds, and even chinchillas! I’ve cared for small, medium, and large dogs, and have trained my own pets, so I’m patient, calm, and attentive. I prefer visiting pets in their own homes, and I’m very flexible with schedules. I love giving pets attention, exercise, and gentle guidance — dogs listen to me well, and I enjoy building a trusting bond with each animal. I would be thrilled to care for your furry (or feathered!) friends!

Safety, trust & environment

In my parents home, I’m used to taking the dog for a walk and feeding all of the animals. I’d be happy to walk your dog and play with them. I like to make sure animals are well cared for and happy.

Kelsey is really great and we are very happy we connected with her. She’s kind and respectful and very easy to communicate with. Our dog, Bob did very well on his walks with her and that was, without question, very important!

I had a great experience with Kelsey. She was available on short notice, kept me well informed and my fur babies loved spending time with her. Highly recommend!

Kelsey is lovely! She has a very sweet low key personality and our Bob responds really well to her! We’re very happy we found her.

Before I care for your pet, it’s helpful to know: Personality & temperament: Shy, playful, anxious, or independent Daily routine: Feeding times, walks, playtime, and sleep schedule Diet & treats: Any special foods, restrictions, or allergies Medical needs: Medications, supplements, or health concerns Behavior & training: Commands they know, habits, or triggers Favorite toys & comfort items: To help them feel safe and happy Knowing these details helps me provide consistent, safe, and loving care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. I want each animal to feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.
