Dog Mom Seeking 4-Legged Friends

Hey folks! I'm the mom, care-giver, activity planner & snuggle bud of a highly-energetic Weimaraner puppy named Benny. We’re looking for dog buddies that need a highly-active human to keep them company and take them on adventures! On my typical work day, you'll find Benny & I taking an early morning hike, snuggling while I work in the afternoon, taking a lunch break for a shorter walk around the neighborhood, or maybe some training an playtime in the backyard - then finishing out the work day & ending the evening with another hour to hour and a half of walking, playing or hiking. I'd love to talk to you & find out more about the kind of exercise and playtime your canine companions are seeking. I'm equally comfortable taking pups hiking, around the block, or just giving them love and attention at home if that's what they & you are most comfortable with. I understand that it can be scary leaving your four-legged buds with a stranger, and assure you that I will put the same love & care into my time with your pet, that I would with my own. I've house & pet sat for several very satisfied customers & I'd be happy to put you in touch with them. I have reliable transportation, boundless energy & a true love for dogs and cats.

Kelsey is wonderful - very reliable, caring, and conscientious. My pup loves her walk with Kelsey and I love getting the Rover Card. Definitely recommend her.

Kelsey was great!! She sent pictures everyday that she came and cared for our pups. She even took them for walks a few times. I will be contacting her again for more dog sittings in the near future. She was also very polite and understanding to our dogs needs. Thank you again Kelsey!

Kelsey was great with our two dogs Fitz and Sebastian. She was very attentive to their individual needs and did everything we asked of her. We totally trust her with our animals and our home!

Kelsey Johnson doesn’t place a distinction between pet and family. For her, they are one in the same. When she took care of my dog, I had no worries, because she saw to all their specific needs. I think something she brought to the table when puppy sitting my Destiny was how active she made her visit. It’s not enough to just feed animals and let things go, but I have felt like that’s what I got from past sitters. Dogs, especially larger breeds, need extra stimulation and physical exercise. Kelsey is quite an active individual. She hikes all the time for fun, so Destiny got a lot more playtime in than I expected. If you have separation anxiety like me, another advantage to hiring Kelsey is how many lovely picture updates she sends. And yes, she’s a good photographer, so I have treasured photos of my dogs that I didn’t even pay for. You really couldn’t ask for a better sitter. If you’re her client, you’re her friend, and Kelsey certainly has that rare knack for establishing trust through true friendship. Love her. Muah!

My 95 lb Akbash, Sufi, adores Kelsey. She is conscientious and always follows instructions so I know Sufi is safe when in her care. Kelsey has done everything for us from a simple walk on days I was tired up too long at work, to hikes in the mountains, to staying overnight for days at a time. I trust her with my beloved animals and in my home. Reliable, great communicator and Sufi adores her.

No breed preferences. I just need to know how your pup does on a leash & what kind of exercise is best for him/her & how they do with other dogs and puppies, and how comfortable they are around strangers! I also like to have contact information for your vet in case of emergencies. I’ve never needed it, but your pet’s safety is my #1 priority.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
