Home Sweet Paws 🐾🦋

Hi! I’m Kelsey, a stay-at-home mom to two wonderful boys who love helping give dogs plenty of attention and affection. What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and approach to individualized care. I’ve spent several years working as an assistant manager at a large dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all breeds, energy levels, and personalities. That experience taught me that every dog is unique some thrive in social, busy environments, while others do best in a calmer, quieter setting. I intentionally keep a small number of dogs in my care at one time so I can provide individualized attention and maintain a calm, comfortable environment. This also allows me to carefully match compatible dogs for safe, positive socialization and play. For dogs who enjoy the company of others, they’ll have opportunities to interact and make new friends. If your dog prefers their own space, needs a slower introduction, or does best with limited interaction, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. My goal is to create an experience that best suits each dog's unique personality and needs.

Kelsey took excellent care of Apollo, and he came home happy and healthy after a full two weeks while we were on a trip. Kelsey sent us updates and pictures just about every day, and it was clear how much fun our boy was having. He came back tired from all of the play but well cared for and in great shape. Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor fun, and I also have a gentle, well-socialized German Shepherd who loves other dogs. If your dog prefers space or a slower introduction, I can easily accommodate that to make sure they feel comfortable and secure.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping dogs both mentally and physically engaged! We spend time playing in the yard, going on walks, and enjoying plenty of one on one attention. I also like to incorporate enrichment activities like puzzle toys, sniff games, and basic training practice. Of course, there’s always time for cuddles and relaxation too especially for pups who prefer a calmer pace.

I’d love to learn more about your pup’s routine, including their feeding schedule and any medications they may need. It’s also helpful to know how they do around children and other dogs, so I can make sure they’re as comfortable as possible during their stay.
