Pet care experience

Enthusiastic friend of the canine!

I’m a great option for travel nurses with early morning shifts! My name is Kelsey! I am a mother of two (my step daughter lives with us part time) and a six year old. Im currently a first year law student! While I was in college at the University of Iowa, I worked as a dog handler at Just Dogs Play Care where I also learned the subtle craft of dog grooming, and the ability to take care of multiple dogs at once. I also learned the value of understanding how to read dogs, and the things they do. Something I also became good at was learning how to associate dogs with each other, which was highly beneficial. I love spending time with dogs, especially dogs who are active, but there is something to be said for the pups who love to relax and cuddle! I would like to be a dog sitter for your pet(s) because I find true joy in spending time with dogs. They have a way of cheering you up when you are in a bad mood, and I think a talent like that deserves attention, and I would love to provide that attention to your pet, and of course my trusty side-kick Duke would love to come along for the ride as well!

I know Archie is in great hands when he stays with Kelsey and her dog Rosie. Archie is just another one of the pack when he’s with Kelsey and her family. She had great communication and I love receiving updates of Archie hanging out with the gang. I have already booked Archie for another stay with Kelsey!

Kelsey was amazing at helping us out when we had a sitter cancel on us last minute. She sent tons of updates and took great care of our dogs!

Kelsey & her family were so loving to Finley! They took such great care of her and helped her feel at home with a cozy blanket.

Schedule

I work from home and honestly rarely go out of town because I study a lot! So having energetic pups to entertain keeps me boosted with serotonin! I also have a soft spot for old snuggle pups as well!!
