Allow me to love your fur babies!🐾

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs of all sizes since I was young. My family has had 2 St Bernard’s, 1 Black Lab and a teacup Yorkie! I currently have a medium sized Pitty mix. I have helped care for both family and friends pups in the past. I even had a nanny job where I cared for the families 1 year old daughter and their black GSD and chocolate lab 3 days a week for a year. I also worked at a doggie daycare (Dogtopia) for a year and a half when I first moved to NC. This allowed me to gain TONS of experience with all sizes and breeds. I’ve learned how to handle all behaviors and temperaments and I know what signs to look for when a dog may be nervous, scared or ill. Im comfortable giving oral medications. I’m experienced with dog allergies and special needs (deaf, tri-pod, diabetic, etc.) I have such a soft spot for dogs and I would love to get to know yours and treat them like they are my own. 💗 I live in Fuquay-Varina with my fiancé. We are in a quiet neighborhood where we can go on longer walks on the streets. We also have a decent sized yard with a pond behind us. We can go for walks around the pond and watch the ducks from our yard!

We boarded our golden retriever and Kelsey was amazing. She provided regular updates/pictures and was more than flexible when we had to adjust our boarding dates. I highly recommend her.

Highly recommend Kelsey! She took great care of our dog Neeko! She sent us photos and daily updates, which I loved. Neeko also had a blast playing with her dog Knox, he came home happy and tired! We will absolutely go back to Kelsey for our next trip. Thank you again!!

I live in a spacious house that would be very homey and welcoming for your pup. I do have two 36” crates with a crate mat and cover, as well as a 48” XXL crate. I also have a spare set of food and water bowls, and tons of dog toys and treats! I have a VERY socialized Mixed Breed rescue pup (from Saving Grace) that loves having friends to play with. He has never met a dog he did not get along with and he is used to open play daycare with up to 35 other dogs. Knox can be very face forward and will play hard if your pup allows him to! However, he’s great at adjusting to other dogs play styles and energy levels. Sometimes it just takes a slower introduction. Your dog will be very well loved and exercised while staying in our home. 💗 The treats here are also plentiful 😉

I would like to know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. Is your pup high or low energy? Have they had an social experiences with other dogs? How do they interact with new people? Any allergies or meds? Potty and Crate trained? Marker when going potty? Resource guard toys or food? Please also provide feeding and medication instructions (if applicable).

A typical day

I love taking pups on neighborhood walks. We have lots of toys to play with both inside and out. I have puzzle boards to hide treats in and lots of bones and training treats. Our spacious yard here is great for outdoor playtime. We also love to walk around our neighborhood or at the local parks for some extra exercise! I enjoy training dogs and would love to teach yours a new trick! After rescuing Knox, I have thought him Sit, Shake (right or left), double shake, Down, Stay, in your bed, in your house (crate), nice nice (gentle), jump, roll over, bang bang, speak, spin, middle, heal, touch and kisses! He can also do most of these commands both verbally or with just hand gestures!

I currently work 8a-5p with an hour lunch break. My hours and lunch break are typically very flexible and I also have the flexibility to work from home as needed. I work right in Fuquay, 5 minutes from our house, and come home on my lunch break daily. We also have a pet camera in our house to monitor our dog and any other pup we are watching when we are not home. However, my dog will never be left unsupervised with yours just for safety! I am also free evenings and weekends as well for drop-ins, walks, and boarding in my home!
