Cal Student, dog lover and owner

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm currently a Cal Berkeley student living in the Berkeley area. Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, I gained experience caring for my parents’ large dogs and neighbors’ pets. I prefer texting, calling, or talking in person about opportunities! I'm interested in walking and house sitting. I love being outside, exercising, and playing with dogs. My husband and I currently have a chocolate lab, Diggy, so we’re used to frequent walks/runs and overall doggy love. If your dog is open for a doggy play date, Diggy would love to make a new friend. Otherwise, no worries if you’re dog isn’t so keen about other doggies- there are plenty of other ways to play! I'm very flexible this summer before the fall semester starts. I can stay at owners’ homes, returning during the day to walk/hang out with dogs between classes. In my experience, the more frequent walks and runs throughout the day, the healthier the pet is. With last dogs I’ve boarded or sat, these furry friends are never left alone for more than a few hours and can constantly be let outside. I hope to meet your furry friend soon! Please reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns. Talk soon! My husband and I currently have a chocolate lab, so I am used to frequent dog walks/runs and overall doggy love. Pet care is definitely a daily routine for me. I wake up around 6am to get her out the door for a run or walk and to use the bathroom. I think the more frequent walks and runs throughout the day, the healthier the pet is. With last dogs I’ve boarded or sat, these furry friends are never left alone for more than a few hours and can constantly be let outside. I ensure pets are in enclosed environments if they’re outside or on a leash if they’re walking/running with me. It’s nice that I can work or study from home, so keeping a constant watch on any pet/check in at least every 20-60 min is easy.

Kesley is a great house sitter! She kept my house in the same condition as I left it and took care of my baby while I was gone. Everything seemed to go off without a hitch, my pup looked comfortable and like he was well taken care of. I recommend Kelsey to anyone and will likely book her again in the future.

5 stars for an outstanding dog sitting experience. When my wife and I were heading out of town for Labor Day, we started looking on Rover for a dog sitter. Since we lived in Georgetown, we wanted someone who lived close. We found Kelsey (who lives in Foggy Bottom near GW), looked at her other outstanding reviews and contacted her to book her. While we had to switch from boarding to dog sitting at our apartment, Kelsey was very easy to work with and even came over to go over everything before we headed out of town. Once my wife and I headed out of town (for 4 nights), Kelsey was great about coming over soon after to feed the dog and hang out with him while sending us several photo updates. She made sure that our little pup was taken care of very well for the entire 4 days and that both our dog and apartment stayed safe. Kelsey offered an outstandingly reasonable rate for all of this, and she remained pleasant and attentive throughout the entire experience. My wife and I give Kelsey our highest recommendation, and we very much look forward to using her services again in the future.
