Experienced Dog Sitter - WFH

Pet care experience

I have a full-time remote job, and am pretty flexible w my schedule to walk and play w your pup during the day! Growing up, I was always around animals, volunteering with various animal shelters since I was seven years old, fostering and hosting adoption events for dogs and cats. Throughout high school, I worked in boarding kennels, where I'd supervise dog daycare in a yard anywhere from 10-50 dogs at a time. After college, I worked as a pack-walker with Pacific Paw walking 4-8 dogs at a time, faciliating training with positive re-enforcement. I also used to have a german shepherd / malamute mix, and have a lot of experience for caring for high energy breeds. I'm responsible, high energy, and caring, and feel confident in caring for all types of dogs and cats.

Kelsey watched our dog and cat for a week in our home and we had a great experience. She was trustworthy and dependable. She took our large dog on hikes and socialized him with the neighborhood dogs - which we said beforehand would be great. The house was well taken care of. We would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Kelsey!

Kelsey stayed with my pup at our house for a week. Axel needs a lot of exercise and is extremely social and wants to be around his people constantly. Kelsey kept him well exercised and spent a ton of time with him so it was just like having us home. We returned to an extremely happy dog and the house was just like we left it. Kelsey is extremely easy going an accommodating. We 100% will be using her again.

Kelsey was a wonderful house & Puppy sitter. She kept in contact with us and worked with our other sitter to cover for us while we were on a trip. She sent me pictures of my puppy on the many walks that they took. I can’t wait to book her again my dog was on a little doggie vacation too.

Safety is a priority for me as I want your pup to be healthy & well taken care of. I like to take them places only that you’ve brought them before & do whatever keeps them in their normal routines.

I love to take pups to local nature zones & parks (if they’re dog-friendly and able to do so) during the day to get some energy out & practice training w treats.
