Loves all animals & works from home

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is kelsey and I absolutely love animals! I’ve been around animals my whole life and know how they become a part of the family. I’m excited to be able to help out when you are out of town or when you’re working late so you know your baby is taken care of. I love cats and dogs, but am also open to taking care of your other furry (or not furry) friends. I recently moved from my family home with just my 5 year old cat Allie and brought home my new puppy Artemis last year. I’ve raised 4 cats and and currently raising my 4th dog! I am familiar with every stage of life and ready to help you out! I have experience helping both dogs and cats after spaying/neutering. I’ve also rescued cats and know everything that can come along with that: fleas, abscesses, food aggression, and administering oral, syringed, injected and topical medications. I am dog and cat CPR and first aid certified as of 5/21/23! I’m patient and understanding and know no animal is the same, so do my best to treat them the way they want to be treated! Let me know if you need plants watered, mail brought in, or any other small task that will help ease your mind while you’re at work or out of town!

First time having Kelsey over and she was great. Took Winston on a few walks, played with him and made him comfortable enough that he ate all his dinner. We'll definitely use Kelsey in the future.

Kelsey always does such an amazing job with our kitties - even with their medical complexities! We love our babies and it is such a comfort to us to have someone take such great care of them when we are gone. Highly recommend Kelsey!

I was so excited to see Kelsey was available to watch my cat Sunday - she is so good with my weird little girl. Great communication, excellent care, Sunday likes her, absolutely will continue to use Kelsey’s service in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very responsible, clean, and reasonable. When it comes to your home I will follow all directions left for me to a t. I’m used to large, excited dogs and feisty cats so not much will deter me. I’m very good with communication and always have my phone on me if you need to check in. Pictures come with every visit! We can always meet beforehand (in person or with video chat) so you can see how well me and your pets get along! I can offer references as well, whatever makes YOU more comfortable.

Information Kelsey E. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or odd quirks! I’m happy to learn how to best take care of your pet to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Let me know how they do with other people or pets we might meet on our walks- not all dogs want to make friends and that’s okay!

A typical day

Would love to go on a long walk with your pup and let the smell everything along the way. I’m up for anything that tires them out, learning a new trick, a trip to the dog park, or cuddles on the couch if that’s what they prefer! Food, water, and treats too!

I’m currently living on the west side of Grand Rapids with a fully remote job. I have long lunches and a very flexible schedule beyond that. 11-2 and after 4pm during the week works best for walks and visits, but let me know if you have other needs and i can see if i can work it out! And I’m almost always around on the weekends! If you want me to hang out for a couple hours with your pet, I can even bring my laptop and spend some extra time- let me know if you’re interested in this and we can work out a price!
