Care for your dog as if it's my own
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Kelsey; I am a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy. All sizes, personalities and breeds of dogs and cats have a special place in my heart, and always have. I grew up with pets and have been lucky enough to live with or be around all different breeds of dogs and cats from infants to seniors. My current fur baby is the pride and joy of my life! Being around animals (particularly dogs) is something I really cherish. There is something special about the unconditional, symbiotic love and enthusiasm shared between dogs and humans. I have yet to meet one that I haven't gotten along with like an old friend! Throughout my years of pet sitting I have watched over dogs and cats who need medication, are blind, deaf, wear a diaper, and are all different sizes and energy levels. I also love dog sitting for families with multiple pets. Whatever, your pet needs I can provide it. Eye drops, medication or any other special considerations are not a problem. I have also watched chickens and various reptiles and amphibians. I have the patience, attentiveness, compassion and energy to take care of any pet as if they were my own. I am no replacement for an animal's person, but I promise your pets will be in good hands with me. Let me know if you would like to speak to a reference!
Reviews
Kelsey was so sweet and patient with our dog Lily since it was our first trip away from her and our bird since we moved to the area. Was more than willing to work with my odd "notes"! Definitely going to use Kelsey as a pet sitter again!
Kelsey watched our chickens for a few days. Not your typical dog/cat sitting job so we appreciate her help!
Felt very comfortable leaving our dog in Kelsey’s hands. Our dog is very shy but warmed up to Kelsey quickly!
Kelsey was great with our fearful pup - very patient and loving. I am very worried about leaving him in anyone's care because he can be challenging, but Kelsey made both me and my pup feel at ease. We would definitely recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
I can travel to your home to care for your pet! I can stay in your home, groom, exercise, feed, administer medication and anything else you might need so you don’t have to worry while you’re away.
Information Kelsey G. would like to know about your pet
Is there something unique about your dog that I should be aware of? Do they need any medication or other special services? I would also like to know if your dog does not get along with other dogs, children or any other group so I can be prepared on a walk.
A typical day
Whatever your dog likes to do, I'm game! I love to go on hikes, run around, play fetch, go to the beach or just laze around if that's more your dogs speed. I also live on a property that opens up to endless hiking trails. No matter where your dog is, we will have a blast! Amount of Time Spent with Your Pets: I will spend as much time with your dog(s) as you would like. Some dogs need to have someone with them all the time, some are very independent, and everything in between! I have a very open schedule right now, so I will most likely be able to accommodate any requests. House sitting: Don't hesitate to ask me to help out with other house sitting tasks. I am happy to get the mail, water the plants, turn lights on at night, take out the trash, etc. In fact I love to garden and look forward to any excuse to get out in the dirt (with your dog or your plants).

Availability
I currently have a completely open schedule over the Summer. I do have a dog who is not good with other dogs, so I have to split my time between her and your beloved pets. But my schedule is very flexible!
