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.

Information Kelsey H. would like to know about your pet
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.
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.

Pet care experience
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 was great! She sent plenty of pictures/updates on how Zeus was doing. He looked like he had such a great time while staying there! I would highly recommend!

She was very nice. Easy to work with, reliable. Had great communication.

Kelsey took great care of our dog! She sent several updates and adorable photos. Our dog seemed to have a great time! We would definitely book with her again.

Ronan had a great time with Kelsey and her dog. Kelsey was great to work with and very flexible with our loose schedule. She provided daily updates with pictures which made us feel so at ease. We highly recommend and will definitely use her again!
