Availability
Since I work from home full-time, your pet will get lots of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, treats (if approved!), and plenty of love throughout the day. I aim to create a calm, cozy, structured routine so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Kelsey 😊 I work full-time from home and live right in the heart of Downtown DSM. I’m within walking distance to Gray’s Lake and the DSM river trails, and just minutes from the airport! ✨ I’m a fur mama to Charlie (my Labrador mix) and Blue (my cat) I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, daycare, or boarding, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, sticking to their routine, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also comfortable giving medications and caring for senior pets or pets with special needs. You can always expect updates and photos while your pet is with me! Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to meet your pet! ☺️

Reviews

Kelsey is very detail-oriented and works hard to make sure your dog has the best time they can. I got lots of updates, both before and during our boarding. Would recommend and will look to book again in the future.


Kelsey visited my two kitties while I was away one weekend. She followed all the instructions and communicated really well with me before and during her visits. Loui and Lola seemed to warm up to her quickly. Reliable and trustworthy. Will definitely book Kelsey again!

So wonderful!! My pup had the best time and I am so grateful!

Kelsey was wonderful with our girl Bonnie! Bonnie is a little anxious at first and has a bit of a loud mouth 😂but Kelsey was patient and had her relaxed and playing/napping in no time. We will absolutely trust her with Bonnie again.
