Furever Friend for your Fur Family

Pet care experience

Celebrating our 12 year adoptiversary, my dog, Roxy and I have been life partners making new fur friends whenever we can! Whether it is helping out with family pet sitting or visiting our friends, we spend most of our time hanging out with and caring for other animal buddies. If your pet is more of a lone soul, I have the flexibility to cover sitting and walking at your place, leaving Roxy at home. I currently work at a Camp Canine Doggy Daycare where I primarily care for the Feed Separate boarders, Medicated campers, and Non-Daycare pups that hire me for special services such as walks, playtime and cuddles. I am comfortable and experienced in administering oral medications and following instruction and schedules closely for animals with particular needs. I have spent a number of training sessions with a professional dog trainer and boarder with my own pup, and have learned many tricks of the trade in understanding and molding dog behavior. I have walked/sitted all sorts of dogs including but not limited to toy poodles, min-pins, bichons, pit bulls, mastiffs, huskies, danes, and shepards. I’m an animal lover, so cats and other small warm-blooded pets are much loved as well. (Fish are friends, but snakes, lizards, and insects haven’t made it into my wheel house!) With a very flexible schedule, my availability is also a strong benefit for your busy or hectic schedule or short-notice needs!

Kelsey was fantastic! I needed a new dog sitter last minute so we could go to a wedding that night, and she not only accepted the job, but came over in the afternoon for a lengthy meet and greet. My 1 1/2 year old pup is 75 lbs and very strong, and I had no worries that she could handle him even if they ran in to other people and dogs on their walk. Rocky took to her right away, and we were able to relax and have fun at the wedding. Thanks Kelsey!

Kelsey was great with Gigi- she was prompt and sent pictures and videos. I will definitely use Kelsey again. I know Gigi is in good hands with her.

Kelsey was wonderful with Shelby. Instead of being anxious, Shelby seemed to be calm and relaxed the whole time. Kelsey sent pics and vids during the visit, and everything went smoothly. In talking to her, I could tell Kelsey has a lot of experience with dogs, and knows how to keep them happy.
