Experienced Pet Care Provider

Pet care experience

Hi there! I was lucky enough to be raised around animals, we always had a small zoo. I have experience with everything from fish to horses, and even wildlife due to having the privilege of volunteering at a wildlife rescue! My animals are my family and I treat yours the same way. Due to having a dog myself, I am not able to board dogs with known dog reactivity due to having to keep them seperated and limiting their roaming space. I have been walking dogs for 14 years, providing in home pet care for 12 years, and offering boarding as well as doggy daycare for 4 years. I have no problem with last minute bookings given I have the availability. I do not have a time limit for boarding, I have had dogs for as little as a night and as long as 5 months. I can administer medication orally and via injection as well as administer subcutaneous fluids and syringe feed mammals and reptiles. I do have experience with special needs dogs including deafness, blindness, high anxiety, animal reactivity, and mobility issues. *As of now snakes over 5' will be considered on a case by case basis if they will need to be fed, soaked, require a cage cleaning, or need medication administered due to increased risks with solo handling,* *I will not be taking new dog walking clients until April 2021.*

Kelsey rocks. Our dog is always well cared for, and she’s saved our butts with last minute scheduling so many times. Don’t know what we’d do without her!

Information Kelsey R. would like to know about your pet

Average daily routine (feeding times, exercise times, bed time, grooming routine if any, etc.) Food allergies and/or restrictions. Any known history of aggression/ reactivity. If the owner does not want the animal on furniture. How the animal did if they were previously boarded and what is normal for them (going off food, some digestive upset, anxiety, etc.) Any toys or chews the animal should not have access to. I have absolutely no breed preferences/restrictions.

A typical day

For Dog Walking: I primarily will stay around the neighborhood. If there are hiking trails nearby, I have no problem taking a dog on an adventure per owner approval. I am sure to check a dog over for ticks afterwards. For Boarding: I live in a quiet neighborhood and am able to stay away from high traffic roads for dogs that are not comfortable walking on or near busy roads.
