Pet care experience

Experienced & Certified Dog Lover!

Dogs make EVERY day better! Recently I was running a boutique dog daycare, boarding, and training facility in California before moving home to Ohio. Because of my 5 years there, I have immense knowledge and experience surrounding dog behavior, training, and caring for pups of all ages, breeds, sizes, and needs. I am also CPDT certified as a Positive Reinforcement trainer. I truly understand the importance of getting to know each pup individually and how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your dogs in and out of your home.

Kelsey was truly fantastic. She took amazing care of our two doodles and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent great pictures every day, kept us updated, and clearly gave them tons of attention. The dogs were happy, relaxed, and absolutely loved hanging out with her for a few days. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would strongly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pups.

Kelsey is amazing! We have two pitties, Odin and River—one is a rescue who can be a little nervous with new people at first —and she’s been wonderful with both of them. She’s patient, reliable, and you can tell she genuinely loves dogs. We trust her completely and always feel relaxed knowing our pups are in her care. They’re always so happy to see her, and we love the updates she sends while we’re away. Highly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond! 🐾

Kelsey is the absolute BEST doggie caregiver, and she’s the only one I trust with my lab, Bella. Every time I’m away, I know Bella is not only cared for but genuinely loved. Kelsey’s experience, attention to detail, and kindness give me total peace of mind. She treats Bella as if she were her own dog! We’re so lucky to have found Kelsey, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Kelsey is the girl for the job! I don't know anyone that loves dogs the way this girl does. She literally says, "Hi, I love you!" to every dog that's close enough to hear her. Caring for dogs has it's challenges, but nothing that Kelsey can't handle. Big dog or small dog, you've found the girl that can keep your pup at bay when you're away. Care is one thing, but selecting a pet sitter is ultimately about trust. Can you trust that Kelsey will take excellent care of your dog? Can you trust that Kelsey will be respectful of your home? Can you trust that Kelsey will communicate with you openly, honestly, and in a timely manner? The answer to all three of those questions is a resounding YES. It would be a mistake not to choose Kelsey!

We have trusted Kelsey twice to watch our baby Stella. She provided us with tons of updates on her walks or just haning around the house. Kelsey is reliable, communicative and focuses on postive, effective training methods. She is clearly passionate about what she does. We will definitely use Kelsey again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large yard and patio for pups that visit my home! I also understand that many pups prefer the comfort of their own home and am comfortable and happy to pop in as needed when the pups need care or walks! I am extremely respectful of someone else's space and requirements when it comes to in home care.
