Puppy playmate and couch cuddler
Pet care experience
I've never known life without the love and companionship of a pet :) From rabbits and Guinea pigs to my current crew of two cats and a dog, I’ve always been surrounded by fluffy friends. I love connecting with different animals and discovering ways to create a happy and engaged space in your absence. Whether your pet is an adventure animal who is eager to explore the Front Range or a sweet homebody who desires the comfort of couch cuddles, my goal is to make your time away seamless and safe. Aside from standard pet sitting, I especially enjoy caring for hospice and special needs pets. As a one time vet tech, I'm comfortable and experienced with administering medications or injections as prescribed by your vet. I'm happy to accommodate any special requests or additional care that your pal may need. I have a relatively flexible schedule. In order to care for my own pets and attend work meetings, I ask that your pet is comfortable being alone for a minimum of 4 hours. I like to stick to your pet’s typical routine as much as possible for their ease and comfort. Let me know your pet’s schedule and preferences and I'll keep things as consistent as possible while you're away! I’m available for overnights to keep your pet company in the comfort of their own home. I can provide any level of service from walks and/or playtime to scheduled drop-in visits or full-time stays with your pet(s). If desired, my dog, Oakley, can provide extra companionship and play. For doggy daycare, I have a fenced in yard, plenty of toys, and a friendly dog to keep your pet company at my house. I have easy access to trail walks, parks, and dog parks depending on your pet’s comfort and preference. Please take special note: * There are two cats in my home, so I ask that your dog is cat friendly. * The fence is 3 feet high in some areas, so if your dog is an escape artist, it may not be a good fit.
Reviews
Kelsey was not forthcoming when we hired her to house sit for our dog for a week. We cancelled day one. When we met before hand, she had told us that she would be working from our home and just leave for an hour or so to walk her own dog who her roommates could otherwise care for. She arrived late but it didn't really inconvenience us so we continued on our trip 6 hours away. According to our security camera, Kelsey had left our house within a couple of hours of arriving and was gone for 5 hours. She returned for about an hour around dinner and left again. When we had texted earlier she had said nothing of this. I called to find out what was going on and she said something about an emergency at work and then going to take care of her own dog. When she returned to our house she had another dog with her! That had never been discussed either.
Kelsey is amazing! She cared for our elderly cat while we were away and took such great care of her while we were gone. Our cat has some special medical needs and requires multiple medications, which was no problem for Kelsey. She also took great care of our house and kept an eye on our snake too! She is quick to respond to texts and gave frequent updates with really cute pics! We will definitely have Kelsey care for our kitty again, it was such a relief to have someone so great take care of our little lady! Highly recommend!
Kelsey is super kind and sensitive to animal and human needs. Her response time is very quick from my initial reaching out to messages while I was away and she was looking after my elderly cat and home. My cat is 18 YO, deaf and blind so she needs some extra special care and Kelsey provided such sweet and loving care. I will be highly recommending Kelsey to everybody that needs a pet sitter.
Kelsey has been an excellent puppy sitter and walker for my 8 month old labradoodle! Kelsey was super responsive and caring while sitting, she stayed at my home and left the place immaculate as well. On the last day before I returned, Kelsey gave the pup a bath and so I came back to a sparkling clean dog! So kind! She also helped arrange a fun puppy play date while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a walker or sitter!

A typical day
Walks will be determined per the pet's and owner's preference. Depending on the pet's comfort, socialization, and overall fitness, walks may include neighborhoods, parks, trails (paved and/or unpaved), or dog parks. I also enjoy trail running, hiking, and love playing (fetch, frisbee, etc.) with athletic or high energy dogs. Please let me know if your pet enjoys any special games or tricks that we can practice!
