Lifetime Pet Lover and Owner

Hi, my name is Kelsey! I’ve been petting sitting full time for six years now. I have a 15 year old Chihuahua named Khloe. I grew up on a farm in Iowa, so I’m comfortable with any breed or species. Meet and greets are mandatory before services begin to discuss any concerns and run through your baby’s unique routine. See you guys soon!

Kelsey was absolutely amazing taking care of our two cats, Absinthe and Lucius. This was our first time leaving them with a sitter (and they’re still very new and a bit shy), so I was pretty anxious going into it but Kelsey completely put my mind at ease. She was incredibly communicative, sent detailed updates and photos every visit, and really took the time to understand their personalities. Absinthe warmed up to her so quickly and was even accepting pets and treats, which says a lot! Lucius is much more shy, but she was patient and respectful of his space while still keeping an eye on him. She also handled little things like a knocked-over feeder and a litter box accident without any issue and kept us informed the whole time, which I really appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats and their comfort, and I felt so much better knowing they were in such good hands. I would 100% book with Kelsey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

I’ve used Kelsey before without a problem. Kelsey was scheduled to watch my pups starting on Christmas Eve through the weekend. Kelsey wanted to communicate via text so I agreed. She visited my pups and said they were jumping on her and they attacked each other. They are Belgian Malinois so they are high energy but they’ve never hurt anyone or my 3year old son that I raise with them. She refused to come back to my home and raised a security concern. It was Christmas and I was out of town and my dogs did not have anyone to care for them. I was able to book someone else and I had to trust her sight unseen. The new sitter said my dogs were sweet and on their best behavior so I’m not sure what the disconnect was but it was extremely stressful and not a good experience.

Does great with our senior cat, who now has to be fed special food with medicine.

We are so pleased with Kelsey and how well she treats our kitties. This trip was a long one and we had such peace of mind knowing that she was here twice a day spending time with them. She is definitely our go to sitter. Thank you!
