Loves: long walks, cuddles, & pups

Pet care experience

I'm currently a Ph.D. student at U of SC and dog-mom to a senior chow-mix, Verne. He and I love long walks, ice cream dates, visiting campus, and enjoying our spacious backyard. I would love to treat your dog with the same affection as my own. Verne would love to share his house (and large back yard) with friends. My husband and I have a guest room if your dog prefers to sleep on a bed. And we are always well stocked with organic dog treats. With the flexible schedule of a student, I am able to walk pups 3-4 times a day, and always make time for a quick cuddle and selfie! I have dog/house/chicken sat for friends and relatives in the area for several years.

Kelsey did a great job making us feel comfortable and our dogs were happy and tired when we got back. She sent lots of pictures and updates which was appreciated!

Kelsey is great. Good attention to detail and very accommodating. I feel safe leaving the fur kids in her care.

Kelsey sent pictures of Samson . He appeared to be relaxed . That insured me Samson was ok . Kelsey also continued giving Samson medication he needed . I plan on using Kelsey for boarding in the future .

Kelsey was so sweet with Ranger. I had a long Saturday away from my house, and she came to take care of him. She was on time & very attentive to him: they walked, hung out, ate treats & she fed him dinner. It was so nice to come home to a dog that wasn’t agitated from being alone allll day! I’ll definitely use her services in the future.

Availability

As I am a PhD student I’m usually in town for holidays because I’m usually grading. But this also means that I have stringent deadlines at weird times during the semester.
