Availability

I am a house spouse and available during the day, so your dog gets consistent attention and company. We have one friendly dog, so can easily add one or two more to our routine. I accept dogs up to 30 lbs as we have a toddler. Anacortes has great whale watching opportunities and I regularly care for dogs on short-notice day stays while their owners are out on the water. If you need last-minute coverage for a tour, I am happy to help.

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable picking your dog up from your yard or home for a walk or hike in the woods. I am also happy to have a play session with your pet in your home or in your yard. I have a medium-sized fenced yard, with a friendly male Cavalier dog and have dog doors into a large garage as well as into the house. I can isolate my dog into separate spaces if yours would prefer to be alone.

Information Kelsey M. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know your training style and behavior expectations so I can reinforce them while you are away, as well as any movement restrictions or special needs I can support. My dog gets along well with others, but I am happy to work with dogs that prefer to be a solo act.

A typical day

I love walking in the Anacortes Forest lands and on the Tommy Thompson with the dogs, which are both within a 10-minute walk from my home. The Ace of Hearts dog park is only a few blocks away and I walk there often and play in the small dog area with my dog. My dog love chasing balls with a chuck-it and lazing in the sun in their own south-facing room.

Pets

I love all pets! (Dogs < 30lbs)

Pet care experience

I have had three dogs over 17 years, including a Boston Terrier, a bossy senior Bichon rescue, and a muppet of a King Charles Cavalier. I have trained, groomed, and cared for them, and I especially love taking photos of dogs and documenting their antics and unique personalities. Use code https://www.rover.com/sit/kelse78039 to get $20 off your first booking with Rover. I have cared for neighbors' dogs and cats over the years and some tell me I am the only person their dog likes outside of the family. I believe I excel in making connections with all furry creatures.

Timber enjoyed his week with Kelsey. We appreciated the fenced yard and picture updates of Timber playing and having fun. Timber seemed calm and settled when we picked him up. We will definitely book with him again!

Kelsey was great for our first time drop in visit. Hamish was so relaxed when I came home, when I had been away the whole day. I am looking forward to trying Kelsey for longer visits.

Once again Kelsey does a great job with Lola. I appreciate having such a lovely home situation to leave our dog.
