Cozy House Near Trails + CT River!

Pet care experience

I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience administering medication as I took care of my lab Elvis who had arthritis issues until he passed away at the age of 16. I have experience with dogs of all ages from training puppies to assisting elder dogs. Not only do I have experience dog walking but I also have watched over peoples animals and houses when they were away.

Kelsey has been our twin boys' nanny for the past 4 years, and has been a tremendous asset to our family, and the healthy development of our boys. We live on a farm, so we have a variety of animals who she not only cares for without being prompted, but shows a genuine concern and respect for each animal, whether its a 1500 pound cow or a 10 pound cat. Kelsey also occasionally brings her own dog over to play with the boys, and teaches them compassion and responsibility through allowing the boys to help walk him, and feed him. We trust Kelsey with our Children and our Pets, so you would be lucky to have her care for your pets anytime!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house in Higganum with a large yard and a gated area that is suitable for containing smaller dogs. I also live by Seven Falls State Park so there are lots of trails by me great for dog walking! My house is on the Connecticut River so I have access to a small private beach, so if your dog loves the water we could always go for a swim! I have a small 11 yorkie named Joe who is great with other dogs. He can be a little standoffish to start but he warms up quick. He has lots of dog friends that he sees regularly. I also have a cat that is usually scared of dogs until he gets to know them. He would probably just hide in the basement until he feels comfortable.
