Highlights
Pet care experience
Boarding & Sitting
Hi! I’m Kelsey, an experienced and attentive pet sitter who has had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I truly believe patience is one of the most important parts of caring for animals. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, cuddly, or convinced they’re secretly human, I’m happy to meet them where they are! I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day. I’m comfortable with senior pets, administering medications, and adapting to each dog’s individual routine and needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay with me, they become part of the household. I maintain a calm, structured environment with plenty of love, consistency, and exercise. I live in an apartment in East Austin with a fenced-in dog park, which is perfect for potty breaks and playtime. Since I work from home full-time, I’m able to offer constant supervision and companionship throughout the day. I follow your pup’s usual routine, from feeding schedules to walk times, and I’m happy to accommodate special needs like medication or crate use. My own dog Frankie is incredibly gentle and easygoing, which helps create a low-stress, welcoming space for visiting dogs.
Ratings and reviews
Kelsey is the best dog sitter! Super sweet with my dog and sent tons of pictures. Would highly recommend her!
Kelsey was great!! Very flexible with pickup an drop off times. She also sent photos and videos which was a great reassurance our dog was in good hands!
Kelsey was great! My booking was incredibly last minute, but she was happy to watch my guy while I was traveling. She made me feel at ease and seemed to have a good time with him. 5 stars, would recommend.
She’s the best dog sitter ever! Very reliable. I would have her watch my dog, Bear any time. Thanks Kelsey for loving our dog as much as we do.
Kelsey was a great dog sitter for my German shepherd. She was friendly, and very responsible. I know when I go on vacation I have a trust worthy dog sitter. Thanks, Kelsey! Keep up the great work. Woof woof
Kelsey was a great dog sitter for me. She watched my 6 year old golden doodle and was very friendly to both the dog and myself. I would 10/10 recommend her to watch your dogs. She told me she grew up always having a dog so I was not hesitant to have her watch my dog at all.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention and structure throughout the day. Walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles are all easy to build into my schedule — and I genuinely enjoy the company. Whether it’s a morning walk before logging on, a midday play session in the fenced dog park, or a calm evening wind-down, I make sure each dog in my care feels seen, loved, and well-exercised. My dog Frankie and I are a great team. He’s calm and adaptable, which helps create a peaceful environment for visiting pups.

- Before a stay or visit, I always appreciate knowing a few key things to help me give your pup the best care possible: Daily routine: Feeding times, walk preferences, crate use, etc. Behavioral notes: Any reactivity (to other dogs, people, bikes, etc.), fears (storms, loud noises), or quirks I should be aware of. Social preferences: Are they playful with other dogs like mine (Frankie), or more of a solo pup? Medical needs: Medications, allergies, past injuries, or anything you monitor closely. Commands and training: What commands they know, what you're working on, and how you usually correct unwanted behavior. The more I know upfront, the more I can tailor my care to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them!
