Work from home-looking for a buddy
Pet care experience
I recently moved to Portland from Austin, TX and now work from home full time. I'm used to always having at least one dog around, but unfortunately my 10 year old boxer passed away shortly before the move. My partner and I travel quite a bit, so now isn't the right time for us to get a dog of our own, but we'd be happy to host your dog for a visit or come scoop them up for a walk! I am at home all day and have a flexible schedule, so I will be able to provide as much attention as needed for your pup. We live in a house in NW Portland. We don't have any children or other pets, so if your dog is better off solo, we've got that covered. Our yard is fenced but small. Luckily our neighborhood has great walkways and we're not far from a greenway, so we have plenty of options for walks with your dog! We enjoy hiking and biking and taking in all that Portland has to offer but also enjoy some relaxation time on the couch, so we can accommodate dogs of all energy levels. I have been around dogs all my life. I adopted my boxer when she was only 7 weeks old and had her by my side for over 10 years, so I have experience with all phases from puppy to senior citizen. I have also volunteered at animal shelters, where I took dogs out for walks and also fostered a couple of dogs. As soon as the time is right, we'll get a dog of our own, but in the meantime, we'd love to help out with yours!
Reviews
Kelsey was fantastic! She welcomed my 90 pound, 7 month old, puppy (Lola) into her home. They went on walks, played at a dog park, and had a great time. Kelsey asked me what my preferred cadence for communications was and always gave me updates (along with photos or videos). I knew my puppy was being well cared for by Kelsey. She definitely gave me peace of mind and made leaving Lola much easier on me. Lola will definitely be returning to stay with Kelsey again.
My dog looks to have a great time with Kelsey today. Although I was worried at the beginning because this is the first time for my puppy to stay outside of home, Kelsey tried to make me very comfortable with frequent update and sending pictures all day long. I will definitely find her again when I need. Thanks
Kelsey was wonderful, with a quick response and great flexibility. I needed someone to watch my 5 month old pup on a Friday because I was going to be out of town. She was understanding when my husband got off work little late to pick up our dog. I would recommend Kelsey again.
Kelsey seems very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. I am glad to have found her on Rover. My dog stayed with her for a couple of nights while I was away on vacation. She communicates well and made sure my pup was comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you!
