Pet care experience

**** PLEASE READ: Pricing Negotiable !!!! **** I'm currently working from home on a few startup businesses, so my Rover services are my income. Due to fees taken by Rover, my rates look high since I don't receive the amount listed. For example: Listed price for boarding: $63. Fees that go to Rover: $13. Payment I actually receive at the end: $50, which is my actual price for that service. My extensive experience and commitment to care is reflected in my prices; however, I am a human too so these can be circumstantially negotiable ! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me so we can discuss your situation. I'd love to work with you & promise to exceed the status quo for care. Your pet will receive a 5-star luxury experience while you enjoy a worry-free workday/night off/vacation/etc ! About me: I'm Kelsey; an artist, yoga teacher, outdoor enthusiast & animal lover extraordinaire. Born in Romania, raised in New England, East coast resident from Vermont to Florida until last year when I finally achieved my dream of moving out here to beautiful Colorado. :) I've always had a connection with all species of animals. During my life I've raised a delightful variety of pets; from dogs & cats to guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, fish & reptiles. I specialize in handling various needs your pet may have; I use positive reinforcement training for general obedience, behavioral therapy (separation or social anxiety), PTSD/trauma relief, housebreaking, leash conduct- not just for puppies, I promise that dogs of any age can learn new things!

Took great care of my puppy. Sent pictures and checked in with me during the day. Will definitely book with Kelsey again.

This was our first time using Rover and Kelsey was great! Very responsive and our pup came back as happy as can be!

Kelsey was great, she took good care of my boy and made sure he had what he needed before she dropped him back off to my place. She sent me pics and kept in contact when I messaged her. Glad her fur baby was friendly enough to keep mines company too!

Kelsey is SO AWESOME!! Her bright energy is positive, powerful and contagious to animals and humans alike! My little Bear felt instantly comfortable in her presence and reacted as if they'd known each other for a long time even though it was their first meeting - a big deal for my fur baby that struggles with social anxiety around new people. I cannot recommend Kelsey enough; we are excited to work with her more since she specializes in dogs with anxiety. Highly recommend!!

A typical day

My home is a comfortable, pet-ready space (my dog Maggie loves having new friends over) in a very dog friendly and safe neighborhood. I have a lovely fenced in dog park downstairs - a great place to enjoy some off-leash playtime with opportunities to meet new pup pals! If your dog doesn't do so well with others, please let me know; walks are just fine. There's a park right down the hill with nature trails to explore and fun wildlife to watch...Maggie loves watching ducks in the pond! Depending on your pup's preferences/ability level, I'd love to add in some nature hikes too, especially for extended stays to switch up the scenery.
