Dog trainer, bully breed mama

Pet care experience

I am back from taking time away while I was working two jobs and getting my masters, hence the delay in my reviews! I have been working in rescue for 10 years and have a wide range of experience from dogs, to guinea pigs, to horses. I am currently a dog trainer at Animal Friends and can be thoroughly trusted. I am a pitbull mama and know how difficult it is to find dog sitters who aren’t afraid of her— so I take pride In being able to help my fellow pitbull families. I acceptable all pets though. I am here to care for your pet, the same way I would want mine taken care of. As an avid pet lover and traveler I understand the urge to travel, while worrying about the comfort of your furry family members. I will be available for texts, phone calls and whatever else makes you comfortable for updates on how your pups are doing. I am very flexible so always ask! I have a large amount of experience with dogs, cats, rabbits and birds—especially from working in the shelter and rescue world. I understand that each animal comes with their own unique personalities. I have worked with high-energy/ anxious animals who I spent much more time walking, playing and training with to reduce energy. Seniors gets a much different care approach because they tend to enjoy sitting around, being cuddled etc. As you can see I'm adaptable to different personalities and want to provide them with the care that is the best fit for them physically and mentally. My profile displays some of the pets we have or currently do take care of! What sets me apart? I don't overbook. The last thing I want is your pet to be stressed and want to be able to give them undivided attention. I am often found bringing my book and staying longer than required.

We were SO fortunate to find Kelsey as a sitter for our two needy cats during vacation. She was an absolute gem to work with, listened and followed instrutions well, and was even able to give our skittish untrusting cat medications in the mornings! Kelsey's communicaton with us was excellent! She sent photos and updates of our boys during each visit so we could see that they were being pampered. I felt so much relief knowing that she was at home with them. We will defintely be using her as our Go-To sitter for more out of town travels.

Kelsey did a great job with my kitty Hamilton! Followed my instructions perfectly, had fast and friendly communication, and filled out complete Rover cards. Thanks!

Kelsey is a very sweet young woman who made two drop in visits to care for my dog, Petey. She spent time playing with him after feeding and letting outside. She also sent me pictures so I could see he was okay. I’ll definitely welcome Kelsey back in my home.

Wow! Kelsey (and her husband Steve) not only took excellent care of our dog Crissy, she went out of her way to make sure that our girl had the best experience possible. Crissy spent twelve nights with them and came back a more relaxed and happier dog. Crissy is a Brittany mix that we adopted from rescue four months prior. She is shy and submissive, although in the last couple of months she has become much more playful and outgoing. Kelsey arranged for a meet and greet before we booked Crissy’s stay and then a second when it turned out they had adopted a four month old pit. Both visits went very well. Kelsey knows how dogs work and she really eased our minds. While we were gone, she texted us photos and a couple of short videos of Crissy’s blossoming into a more confident dog. She played happily with Kelsey’s dog Brooklyn and another dog who came to spend one night. Kelsey (and Steve) really understood our girl and went out of their way to give Crissy as good as a vacation as we had. We recommend her without reservation.
