Highlights
Pet care experience
Van Alen’s Unofficial Petsitter
I’ve had dogs in my family since the day I was born and frequently pet sit for friends and neighbors. I am very comfortable working with anxious dogs, multiple dogs at once, older dogs, puppies, big dogs, little dogs, and dogs that need medication. I love to take dogs for runs and walks — and have been working on my throw for fetch! 😂
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in Downtown Durham—right across from the Durham Bulls stadium and less than a mile to Oakwood Park. I love getting your pups out of the house, but on hot or rainy days I can get creative with engaging your pups indoors as well.
Ratings and reviews
Communication was easy, and Kelsey did a great job with my cat and dog! I think they were sorry to see her go.


Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of my cat Jovie! She communicated very clearly, and Jovie was very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Kelsey!

Kelsey is terrific! Zinny was immediately comfortable with her. She is laid back and was super responsive. Her communications were excellent with great pics and updates. We are happy to have met her, and will definitely contact her again!

Kelsey was awesome as usual, would not know what to do without her! She has been able to get my hidey cat out to be seen and sometimes even touched.
Kelsey was fantastic! She was flexible and super understanding when we had a minor situation early on while she was staying with my dog. She sent great updates, and I came home to a happy and well-cared for pup. I will definitely reach out to Kelsey next time I need a petsitter!

Kelsey took amazing care of our large, senior dog while she was housesitting for us for several nights. She was communicative and kind and she took great care of our home (even lugging in a large Chewy box that was unexpectedly delivered!)…but most importantly, Bull adored her and we knew he was so comfortable and loved while we were away. Would absolutely hire her again.
