Gregarious Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
As an enthusiastic owner of two, spoiled, cats, I love taking care of other people's pets and have done so since the age of 12: That is, now, twenty years of pet sitting! While I have never owned dogs, always cats, every petting sitting (and house sitting) I have done has been with dogs. Ensuring that the animals feel safe and loved in their house is my number one priority. As well, ensuring that the animals of the house get enough attention through play and cuddles is always key! As your pet sitter, I can guarantee a healthy, happy pet upon your return. Dogs are social creatures and I love to ensure that they are getting all of the play and interactions they need. Therefore, if it is good for the dog to go to a dog park and play with others, we will do that. If it is not, we will go for walks around the neighborhood and play in the yard. I understand that having a dog is a massive responsibility and it is one that I don't take on lightly. Pets are our family and will be treated as such.
Reviews
Kelsey was awesome! Really came through when I needed help last minute and sent me photos. Will definitely use her again!
Kelsey has taken care of my pitbull Beast S. for the last eight years and he loves her. She has stayed at my house while I have been gone on vacation. She has just stopped over to let him out and feed and walked him for me when I am gone for a whole day. I would very much recommend her to care for anyone's pet. She has always been a pet owner herself. I now have a second dog Chubbs S. that Kelsey is helping me with also.
Kelsey was a teacher at our school and babysit my kids in the summer and on breaks. She is kind, conscientious, and creative. She moved to Florida and we miss her terribly. She was always on time, always responsible, and very very good with our three dogs, including our 18-year old nearly blind and deaf beagle. When we would go on vacation, she would often house-sit (dog-sit) for us. I trusted her completely to take care of our house and our fur babies.

Information Kelsey K. would like to know about your pet
The dog's temperament: Do they enjoy the company of other dogs? Do they need a quiet environment? During holidays (especially New Years and Independence Day) are they terrified of the fireworks? Basically, the more I know about your dog, the better I can personalize the pet sitting experience! I have no breed preferences; all dogs are welcome!
A typical day
Depending on the dog and its needs, we will go for walks around the neighborhood, go to the dog parks, and, if appropriate for the dog and family, go to other places where dogs are welcome for more interactions.
