Availability

Since I work from home, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to be available for your pet throughout the day. I enjoy taking active breaks for runs and walks, and I’d be happy to include your dog in those activities. But if your pet prefers a slower pace, I also love curling up with a book and spending quiet time with calmer dogs. I’m happy to meet any specific exercise goals or outings your pet needs, ensuring they get the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a dog-friendly building and neighborhood, close to parks where we can go for walks, jogs, and socializing. My ground-floor apartment gives easy access to outdoor spaces, and your dog will enjoy watching the world go by from my windows. I create a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets feel safe and relaxed. I’m always eager to learn more about your dog’s specific needs—whether they need extra care, behavioral management, or just a bit of quiet time with some snuggles.

Information Kelsey F. would like to know about your pet

To ensure I provide the best care for your pet, it’s helpful for me to know the following details: Energy and Exercise Needs: Does your dog have a high energy level and need regular walks or runs, or are they more relaxed and enjoy a quieter day? Triggers or Behavioral Concerns: Are there any specific triggers that might cause anxiety or stress, such as loud noises, other dogs, or certain environments? Medications or Health Concerns: Does your pet take any medications, or are there any health issues I should be aware of? I’m comfortable administering meds if needed. Daily Routine and Preferences: What does a typical day look like for your dog? Do they enjoy certain activities, like fetch, cuddling, or playing with specific toys? Are there specific times they need meals, bathroom breaks, or rest? Social Preferences: Does your dog enjoy meeting new people and pets, or are they more reserved and prefer quiet time? The more details you can share, the better I can tailor my care to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they feel comfortable and happy while in my care.

A typical day

A typical day with me starts with some outdoor time—whether it’s a long run or a more relaxed walk, I’m happy to match the pace your dog needs. I’ll also take breaks during my workday to ensure your pet gets playtime, attention, and any other care they need. If your dog enjoys being inside, they can have full access to my ground-floor apartment, perfect for people-watching and relaxation. I provide a mix of outdoor activity and indoor snuggles, making sure your pet feels happy and content all day long.

Active, Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’m Kelsey Franz, an experienced animal lover who’s cared for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, rats, and more. Growing up with dogs, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and needs, including elderly or special-care animals. Whether your dog needs a lot of exercise or prefers a quieter day, I can accommodate them. As a distance runner, I’m especially well-suited for high-energy dogs who love long walks or runs. But I’m also a calm, patient person who enjoys spending quiet time with more laid-back pets. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide constant attention and care. I love learning about each pet’s unique needs and how to provide the best care.

Kelsey is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough! I left my Siberian Husky with her for 7 days and she exceeded every expectation. My husky is high maintenance and needs constant attention, lots of walks, cuddles, and really struggles being alone and Kelsey handled all of it with ease. What truly set her apart was how attentive and communicative she was throughout the entire stay. She sent daily photo updates and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she was caring for him exactly the way he needed. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being and not just going through the motions. For the first time, I was able to travel without the usual stress and anxiety of wondering if my dog was okay. That peace of mind is priceless. If you have a dog that needs extra love and attention, look no further, Kelsey is the one. I will 100% be booking with her again!

Kelsey was wonderful! We boarded our sweet pitty pup with her over a weekend and we would recommended her to anyone! She was communicative, kind, and took amazing care of our girl. She was flexible with our pick up time as well when we had some unexpected delays. Kitty loves Kelsey and we are so relieved to have found another great person to add to our sitter list.
