Loving care when you're not there
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Kelsey, and I can't wait to be your pet's new best friend. Our pets are family, and they deserve a caretaker who is both knowledgeable and compassionate when you are away. I have had wonderful clients over the last several years in Texas, and I moved to the Vancouver area one year ago. My heart dog was a pitbull/cattle dog mix (🌈), and I’m currently mom to a lab mix, a Golden/border collie mix and two special needs cats. I’ve fostered around 100 animals in the last 14 years. So, I know every dog (and cat!) is unique with it's own unique needs. I have worked in animal welfare for the last decade, and I love that I can use my knowledge and training to provide the best care for pets when their owners are away. My animal experience comes from working in shelters, veterinary offices, barns and even internationally for my entire career. I'm trained in dog and cat behavior and body language and general animal wellness, and I am also a certified Fear-Free Handler. I can give injections, pills- whatever your pet needs if it has a medical need. I will not only befriend your pet, but I will be patient with him or her, passing along any insights I may gain during our time together and always keeping a watchful eye on them!
Reviews
Kelsey was great walking and checking in on our dog.
Kelsey is so great with our kitties! She's reliable and gives great updates everyday. They've been a little timid but she's been great at helping them feel comfortable. It gives me such great peace of mind to know they are well taken care of when we are gone.
Kelsey was awesome!
Kelsey is absolutely amazing!! She did everything right. Our dogs were so happy and we loved getting all the pictures. She’s a keeper!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my number 1 priority. I know I am coming into your pets’ home, so I want them to feel safe and loved when you’re away. My goal is to keep your pet stress free and healthy until you come back home! I’ve been pet sitting for so long that I’ve had instances where I’ve recognized an illness while the owner is away and been able to get them to the vet for prompt treatment. My goal is for you to feel completely relaxed knowing that your baby is in good hands.
Information Kelsey K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know what your pet needs. If you have any behavioral or health concerns, describe in as much detail as possible. Also, please let me know your pet's normal routine, from feeding to bathroom breaks.
A typical day
I love walking! We'll find the best places for YOUR pooch. Every dog is unique. You don't have to worry about your dog overheating, as I work closely with "smooshy-face" breeds and understand their sensitivities. I don't force ANY dog on hot pavement, and I’m stern about any loose dogs approaching. Your dog has a certain level of comfort. If they are shy, we can work on it. If they prefer not to walk, we can play indoors. If they don't feel like playing, we can learn some tricks for mental stimulation. With cats, I’m happy to play with or cuddle your cat or simply give them their space, if that’s their preference. Your pet is an individual and deserves to be treated as such.
