Professional animal caretaker
Pet care experience
I have been in the animal care and training field for 10 years. I recently moved to Wilmington from the Florida keys where I worked at a facility as the enrichment coordinator and was a senior trainer of bottlenose dolphins for 7 years. Prior to that I worked with a variety of marine and terrestrial animals including sea turtles, sharks, crocodilian, stingrays, iguanas, and other various animals. I have worked as a kennel technician and have also been involved with canine search and rescue and obedience training. I am comfortable administering medications along with any special requirements your dog needs. I have a BA in psychology from the University of Central Florida which helped me to understand operant conditioning and behavioral modification techniques. This degree has given me a great base for my animal training career. My husband and I own two dogs. We have a 5-year-old boxer, Chloe, who is 60 pounds and a 10-year-old miniature labradoodle, Kailani, who is 30 pounds. Both dogs are very friendly. Chloe is a specially playful with other dogs while Kailani enjoys the calmer things in life. I live an active lifestyle and am excited to walk, run, play, and/or cuddle with your furry family member.

Another great experience with Kelsey. She's our go-to! ??❤
My very first Rover and dog-walker experience and it was excellent! Kelsey was on time, introduced herself and then off she went with Fenix. They walked over a mile, which was the perfect exercise for Fenix! Kelsey returned Fenix right on time and she was exhausted, in a good way! We will book with her again, probably later this week!
Thank you Somuch for watching Schooner at such short notice. I’m sure he had a good time at your home. Your dogs are very sweet and I really look forward to using your service again when I’m in town. Susann P
Kelsey and I used to live close to each other and she used to watch my dog all the time. Whenever Kelsey was caring for Sadie I knew that Sadie was in great hands and I never had to worry. I could trust her to just stop by to let Sadie out, feed her and walk her if I had a long day at work, or I could leave for days at a time and knew that she would care for Sadie as if she were her own dog. Unfortunately, we no longer live in the same state (or else I would use her as a sitter all the time!) but I would absolutely recommend Kelsey to ANYONE. She is an absolute animal lover, she is fun, and she is even an animal trainer! Kelsey is completely trustworthy and I guarantee that your fur baby will enjoy hanging out with Kelsey as well. I couldn't think of a better recommendation for a dog-sitter!
