Kelsey can care for
Availability
I currently work full- time at a nonprofit organization. I do primarily work from home and I am able to be very flexible with care during the ‘work day’ and flex my hours during the week. Which really does allow me ample opportunities to be available and fit in pet care during throughout day. Also this gives me the flexibility to work from your home if you are comfortable with that, so I can extend my care time with your four legged friend as much as possible! I am very easy going and willing to try and be flexible with my schedule. Typically Monday-Friday I am available consistently after 4pm or before 10am for drop ins and dog walks. I also have flexibility during the ‘work’ day hours for multiple drop ins and walks or good old fashion cuddle time with your fur babies. If you are comfortable with this, I’d be happy to work remotely from your home so I can extend my stay with your pets for as long as possible. I am also available for house sitting and pet care overnight. I can be quite flexible with dates for overnights. I have experience watching pets over the course of multiple weeks at a time. So if you’re headed out on a long vacation, I have experience with pet care of an extended period. On the weekends, Saturday through Sunday, I have a lot of open time/ flexibility and open hours to be available to take care of your pet(s)! I try my best to keep my calendar up to date, however if you see a day marked unavailable that you are looking for help on, please still feel free to message me. I’ll make it work with your schedule! ☺️

Safety, trust & environment
Trust and safety may be the two most important aspects of pet care. To ensure this with those I work with, I make sure, before any pet care job especially if they are a new client, to ask the important questions. Examples being, to ask if there are any medical conditions I should be aware, dietary restrictions, exercise preferences, and the list can go on. So I can understand how best to take care of your pet and meet their needs. Also to build trust with you as the owner, so you can have peace of mind that your fur baby is in good hands. I prioritize the wishes of the owner for how they want their pet cared for. I have a secure, fenced in backyard at home if you would want me to care your fur baby in my home. Also while working in client's homes I make sure to not only of course take care of your pet, but to also take care and respect your home. Typically I make sure, specifically dogs, get out to play and go for walks, while also making sure to give lots of cuddles and positive encouragement. My goal is to make sure your pet gets the loving care, consistent attention, and safe environment they need!
Information Kelsey I. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or if they require any extra specific instructional care. Any allergies, or medication requirements would be very helpful to know of course. Also, how active your pet is so I can make sure to get up that level of exercise or playtime. I will make sure to ask the questions needed so I have a strong idea of a care routine that works for you and your pets.
A typical day
I think going for a nice long walk is fun and stimulating activity for pets. I love to go on long trail walks with my husky. I also love a nice stroll around the neighborhood! I also love to encourage play with toys and other pets (if you would like to social your pet)! I am definitely someone whose voice instantly goes high and “lovey dovy” when I talk to my pets! I am always happy to incorporate other activities based on your recommendations as you know your pets best! They will always get lots of cuddles from me. I think positive praise, kindness and compassion, (along with maybe a treat or two of course) should be a constant part of a pet’s day. Your pet will always get the constant attention it deserves! I will try to keep your pets’ routine as normal as possible while you are away.

Pet care experience
Hello!! I am Kelsey and I have being taking care of dogs and cats regularly for over 6 years now. (The dream job) I have also been around and cared for my own pets: cats, dogs, and even guinea pigs since I can remember. I am someone who will treat your pet with the same level of love, kindness, and understanding that I would with my own! I’m here to lovingly care for your pets. While always making sure their safety is high priority. I currently am lucky enough to have a sweet 4 year old female husky named Piper. She is an absolutely joy❤️ I want to note Piper does not come with me on pet sitting bookings. My roommate is able to watch her while I’m away. My neighbors and family members have always relied on me when going on vacation to take care of their pets overnight for extended periods of time. I would always be the first to volunteer! I have been responsible for the care of both cats and dogs. Also, I have experiencing caring for a variety of different size dogs: from a 100 pound gentle giant Saint Bernard to a 6 pound sweet munchkin Chihuahua. I do have experience taking care of reactive dogs, as well as walking reactive dogs in public places. (I have a lot of compassion for the misunderstood pups 🥰). I try to make sure to keep them safe, and at ease. Also I make sure to learn as much about your pet(s) to try and give I also have experience taking care of elderly dogs and cats. Alongside this, I have administered oral medication, at the pet parents' request and instruction, to dogs before. Keeping your pet happy with love and praise, and always safe is my priority. Your fur babies will get lots of cuddles and play time, as I am a pride myself on being an affectionate and gentle pet caretaker. Thank you for considering to entrust me with the care of your fur baby. ❤️ As a pet owner myself, I truly understand the importance of having peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. I sincerely look forward to meeting you both! 🐾
Reviews
Cooper was happy to see Kelsey and she left my home spotless
Kelsey took great care of Cooper, my 12 year old lab. She sent me picturesalmost daily. My house was left in perfect condition. I will use Kelsey again.
I don’t want to talk her up too much so I can keep her for myself but sharing is caring! Kelsey is fantastic! My pup had been with me outside the country for two months straight. 24/7 mom and Benny so I was very nervous about having to leave him just days after returning. Kelsey was so patient waiting for him to warm up to her. It was short time before they became besties! She sent lots of pics and updates. She has a very sweet and tender personality that works well with dogs. I look forward to having her watch my little guy again. Thanks Kelsey for making a hard separation easy for both Benny and I!
Kelsey was amazing! We got so many updates of Bloo and we could tell Bloo was really comfortable with her! We will for sure be using Kelsey again in the future 🐾
