Pet care experience

Caring, experienced pet sitter

Hi everyone! I am a lifelong animal lover who’s cared for dogs, cats, and birds of all ages. I volunteered with the Humane Society for years and have experience administering medications, including injectables. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family while you’re away. Pets love me because I meet them where they are; playful energy for the energetic ones, gentle patience for the shy ones, and extra love for the seniors. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, especially those requiring medication or special care. My goal is to make every animal feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I make sure your pets feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to details — from feeding and playtime to keeping routines consistent — so you can relax knowing your pets (and your home) are in caring, capable hands. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets and your home. I care for every animal as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. Whether I’m walking your pup, checking in for a visit, or staying with your animals overnight, I always make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pets the best possible care while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

When I stay in your home, my top priority is making sure your pets stay relaxed and comfortable in their own space. I follow your routines closely — from feeding schedules and walks to favorite toys and cuddle time — so everything feels familiar and stress-free. I also keep your home tidy and secure, sending regular updates and photos so you can travel with total peace of mind knowing everything (and everyone) is well cared for.

Kelsey is the best! Our dog loves her and she’s our first choice for a sitter when we’re out of town.

This is the second time Kelsey has been an overnight sitter and watched my dog, Wally! She sends frequent updates/ pictures about how he is doing and it is clear she snuggles and plays with him lots. I know Wally loves having her company and I appreciate having such a loving and trustworthy sitter to take care of my pup when I’m out of town!
