I will be your dog’s BFF

Pet care experience

I am 28 years old with a passion for dogs. I began dog-sitting when I was only 10 years old for various friends and neighbors and have been doing it since. I am currently employed as a veterinary technician at a clinic in Garland, TX My previous employeer moved me from Memphis. I have worked in boarding facilities and I have strong knowledge of Holistic nutrition. I own 6 dogs of my own and they are my life. I would love the opportunity to take care of your fur babies and to provide top-notch service. I can gaurentee that I will do everything I can to make you and your babes feel comfortable. I have plenty of references. I am a veterinary technician with hospital and top rated kennel/daycare experience. I'm CPR trained as well. I am very comfortable with injured pets, as well as injectable medications or fluids. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. I have always owned dogs and they have always been small. My life changed when I found my chow/german shep. mix Carmen, on the side of the road. She was left on a busy intersection in Memphis, and I picked her up and took her home. Carmen was about 10 months when I found her. She is my whole heart and the reason my direction in life has changed towards dogs. My experience administering medication I am very comfortable in administering medication. I have administered medicine in the past at the pet resort and at the animal hospital. I am very comfortable with needles and care for the injured. I also am able to express anal glands and trim nails

Kelsey was great and took such great care of our fur babies! We were nervous leaving her with all 3 of them but it looks like they all had a great time! Definitely will use her again!

Kelsey was great, very professional and I felt very safe with my dogs in her hands! My Luna even split her claw and Kelsey cleaned it for me. Kept my house and property clean and my dogs loved her. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Kelsey was absolutely fantastic. My Heidi is very skittish and usually has a hard time warming up to people, but she adjusted to her quicker than normal. Kelsey is very gentle and loving. While we were gone she sent pictures and kept us updated which was assuring because Heidi has cushings. It was also comforting knowing I didn't have to explain the medication or disease because of her schooling and hospital work. A plus: she washes all the sheets, towels, and dishes she uses. The house looks like it hasn't been touched. My wife, Heidi and myself have found our sitter!

Kelsey was fantastic to say the least. I have 4 dogs, one very old with injectable medications. This was my first time leaving them at home but I felt comfortable with Kelsey because she is a veterinary technician and visually showed me to ease my mind. She also did various other things like water my plants, pick up my mail/Sunday news bathed and trimmed nails on my hooligans. I will definitely be giving her a call again.

Information Kelsey M. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences. I would like to know if the dog: is spayed/neutered is agressive with humans or other animals has any known allergies has any fears e.g., thunderstorms, seperation anxiety any other common tendencies

A typical day

I love traveling to different parks around the city. Exploring is always fun to do. I also love going to dog friendly restaurants so we can enjoy some sunshine and lunch/dinner. If the doggie(s) prefer the sofa, I’ll pop in a movie and enjoy some cuddle time.
