Availability

My two dogs and I like in Lakeshore East downtown Chicago. When I’m not with my pups, I am likely teaching or seeing clients. I have open weekend availability and availability consistently M/T/Th/F. My Wednesday’s are my long days at work, so I normally only have morning and evening availability that day of the week. I am available for all major upcoming holidays.

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable with all energy-level of pets and spend time getting to know each pet so they are comfortable with me. I recognize some cats like to play, some like to chat, and some like to glare from across the room while I fill up their food dish.

Information Kelsey M. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate knowing your dog’s schedule, as well as any special needs they may have, such a medications or behavioral assistance. This helps build our plan for the day.

A typical day

I like to begin each morning with breakfast and a nice walk/potty break. If your pup likes the park, we can then go to the dog park for some playtime.

Free Hugs to Doggies and Kitties

Pet care experience

Hey there! I have always loved animals and grown up with dogs and cats. I used to house sit my friend's pets when they had to work. I have done walks with dogs with standard collars, harnesses, and pronged collars. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood one block from a dog park. My beautiful 4 year old goldendoodle and 3 year old labradoodle love meeting new dogs. This has given me extensive opportunities to work on potty training, teething, and the playfulness that comes with pups. I’m also great with cats and my friend Kim’s kitty Cheeto and I are best buds when I go to visit. I am excited to meet your pet, make a new friend, and take them on walks and adventures, or just cuddle on the couch.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
