Your Pet’s New Best Friend!

Pet care experience

Experienced and passionate pet sitter with a lifetime of experience caring for furry friends. Growing up, my family always had pets, and I was often the designated caretaker when anyone was away. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, and more, of all ages, sizes, and breeds. For over six years, I was employed as a dedicated pet sitter for a wonderful family, caring for their beloved dog while they worked until she passed. I am often called upon by my neighbors to care for their pets, and I take pride in delivering the same level of care and attention as if they were my own.

Kelsey did such an amazing job taking care of our pets when we went away for the weekend! She was very communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures of them - they clearly really took to her. I felt very comfortable with having Kelsey taking care of my animals and also my house. I would absolutely book her again!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions to the letter. This includes feeding, walking, playing, administering medication, and providing any other care that the pet may require. I also make sure to spend time with the pet to ensure that they get enough attention and love while their owner is away. Additionally, I always leave the house as clean and tidy as I found it, so that the owner can return to a comfortable and well-cared-for home.

Information Kelsey K. would like to know about your pet

1. Health information: if the dog has any allergies, special needs, medical conditions, or is taking any medications, as well as the name and phone number of their vet. 2. Routine: feeding schedule, how often they go outside for potty breaks, their exercise routine, and if they’re still being trained in certain areas. As well as any specific behaviors or commands that the dog responds to. 3. Temperament: if the dog might be shy or overly fearful, jumpy or easily excitable, protective or aggressive to new people, how they are with other dogs, if they have separation anxiety, etc. 4. Contact information: phone number and email address of the client for any emergencies or questions. 5. House rules: any specific rules in the house for the dog to follow, such as not being on furniture or being crated at night.

A typical day

As a pet sitter or dog walker, a typical day may involve waking up early to check on the dogs’ needs such as feeding, walking, and providing fresh water. Throughout the day, I would make sure the dogs are comfortable, happy, and healthy, while also keeping the client updated on their pet’s well-being. When it comes to fun activities with the dogs, I may take them on walks to nearby parks or trails where they can enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise. I would also engage them in games like fetch or hide-and-seek to keep them mentally stimulated. If the client has a preferred route or area for the walks, I would make sure to follow their instructions. Otherwise, I would explore different routes and areas to keep the dogs interested and engaged. Overall, my main focus would be on ensuring the dogs are happy, healthy, and well-cared for while the client is away.

Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home for half of the week. This gives me extra time and flexibility to take care of pets as long as I have access to wifi, whether it’s pet sitting at their home or checking on them throughout the day. I’m available from Thursday through Sunday and can provide the attention, care, and love that your pet deserves. Rest assured that your furry family member will be in good hands with me.
