Dog Mom who loves caring for pets!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and love them! They bring me so much happiness! Growing up, I lived with a Vizsla and then two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, so I love dogs of all sizes. My neighborhood had lots of dogs from small Bichon Frises to large Great Danes. Currently, I dog sit and dog walk for my neighbors’ dogs. I will soon be volunteering at Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue and SecondHand Hounds. Taking care of dogs is something I love to do. In summer 2020, I adopted my beautiful, brindle-coated, mixed breed dog Daphne from a local non-profit organization. Our daily routine includes at least three walks along the riverfront or neighborhood and a trip to the local dog park. In the summer, I love to take Daphne to Minnehaha Falls where she loves to swim and we hike together. I understand that every dog has a different personality (which makes them so fun to care for!) and can behave differently in new environments/with new people. My experience has taught me that the initial introduction to your dog(s) is key, and it’s all about reading a dog’s personality.

Kelsey was the absolute best — she and Daphne (her pup) took amazing care of my Gus. I got so many pictures and updates while I was away for 2 nights. Gus is a shy dog and takes a while to come out of his shell, but within no time I was getting pictures of him playing and snuggling! Thank you Kelsey!

Five stars doesn't quite do it justice - Kelsey was so wonderful and I give so many thanks (cause it was over Thanksgiving, get it?) for how well cared for and loved Max was over eight days. Is Max the best and easiest dog ever? I mean of course, but that means I'm gonna be a little extra stressed about him getting the Ritz Carlton treatment. Kelsey was communicative, welcoming, dedicated to her delightful doggie Daphne, and ever so attentive to loving Max. We'd had a weird twist where my parents would've watched Max instead if my niece was born a little early and they'd be back in town in time. Kelsey was easy going about talking through options and setting up a meet and greet only a few days before we were to leave, and made me feel so reassured that Max would get the individual attention he prefers. We received pictures and updates every day with Max lounging and playing, clearly comfortable with his new surroundings and hosts. Kelsey didn't brag about this but credit to her for taking the time and effort to actually learn Max's personality and meet him where he needed, and make him feel safe. The pictures and communication told a story of a dog who missed his people at first, but was quickly won over by someone who would both make sure he was always warm and cozy (his first request) or making new dog friends (his second), and having and nice easy schedule. He's now back with us resting happily without an ounce of stress from being away from home, which I can only attribute to Kelsey. Truly beyond what I hoped for when looking for a host.

I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to play with and take care of your dogs! I am a morning person, and prioritize outdoor time throughout the day. I can be with your pet all day and take them for multiple walks each day. I’m happy to take them to the local dog park, if that is something you’re interested in.
