Extended family for your furbabies!

Pet care experience

I have been fostering animals for the past 10 years including pregnant dogs and cats, newborns, elders, sick, healthy, and everything in between. I have two cats of my own who are my whole world. I love animals more than anything, and would love to get to know yours!

Kelsey was excellent! Very kind, great communication, and very accommodating. She is a real pro and took great care of my cat sending me pictures of him throughout his stay. He is not well socialized with the other cats, despite this Kelsey was able to provide him the space and attention to enjoy his stay! I would highly recommend her, you can rest assured your pet is in good hands with Kelsey!

Kelsey's passion for the care and well-being of all animals extends not only to Cats and Dogs, but to the chickens, pigs, goats and cows she has volunteered her time with an an animal sanctuary in Gainesville. I am impressed with how much of her time, while attending UF, she spent caring for and bonding with these rescue animals. She had a particularly special bond with a cow named Felix that she now has his face tattooed on her arm. Kelsey fostered many sick and motherless puppies and she was never afraid to take on the responsibilities of the cleaning, medications, and all involved with getting them well and ready for their new homes. She is truly one of a kind and has a huge heart for all animals! She has personally taken care of my 3 fur babies and always provides us with updates and photos of how they are doing. I have seen what amazing care she takes of her own pets and am confident that she will do whatever it takes to give your pets the best care! I highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their pets!

I have a small fenced yard and live in a very quiet neighborhood where all the dogs are friendly. My two cats are used to me bringing home friends for them frequently since I foster a lot, and they used to live with a St. bernard and a Jack Russel so they’re used to dogs.
