Will Love Your Dogs Like My Own!

I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life- my parents had a golden retriever before I was born, so literally from day 1, dogs were a huge part of my life. After my first dog passed, we got a second golden retriever and then a few years later a yellow lab, so two at once! My lab passed about 7 years ago so this is the longest I’ve been without a dog in my life and I’m just looking to love and take care of your dogs until hopefully I get one of my own! I’ve also watched multiple friends’ dogs throughout the years whether it was an overnight or weekend stay or just some walking/playing so I’m happy for any time! That being said, I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in good hands. I’m extremely dependable, communicative (I’ll send you plenty of pictures!), and full of love for every pet I meet. I can’t wait to meet your best friend!

Safety, trust & environment

I am in an apartment so I don’t have a yard (but I do have a little balcony if you have a pet that likes to lay outside and take in the sights), but I love taking walks with dogs and I’m also happy to take them to a park if you want. Whatever preference you have on crating them, or cuddling with them on the couch, I’m good with!

Kelsey was the best. Always on time went above and beyond. She just got on Rover but have used her countless times to look after my pets.

I can’t recommend Kelsey enough! She is incredibly reliable, kind, and genuinely loves animals. She treats every pet like her own and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Kelsey is attentive, communicative, and thoughtful—sending updates that give total peace of mind. Any pet would be lucky to have her, and any owner can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in such good hands

I can’t say enough positive things about Kelsey and her love of animals. My dogs were always happy and well-exercised after her visit. She’s very reliable, and would send photos or videos of her time with the dogs. Whether she took them for a walk or a run around the backyard, I always had peace of mind they were well-cared for.

Schedule

I work from home 95% of the time. I go into the office once or twice a month but even those days are flexible and usually only until about noon. I can watch your pets day/night and have flexibility throughout the day for some visits or walks if they aren’t staying with me
