Pet care experience

I love dogs!

I just lost my sweet boy. I am doing this to ease the pain and be around dogs. My husband and I love animals so much. We live in a nice community in Grayslake with a fenced in backyard. I work from home so I will always be available.

Kelsey treated our Pug Millie with so much care and attention daily. Sent photos of their daily adventures together and pampered her with cozy blanket laden sofa resting after her long walks. Amazing care

Five stars +. Kelsey and Mike are dog lovers and made Ted feel welcome and at home. The communication was great. I received lots of updates and pictures. Ted a blast on daily walks, running around in the yard and playing. He came home exhausted. He needed rest from his vacation!

Ruby had another fun time at Kelsey's house! I received updates and cute pictures of her playing. Very much appreciated that. Thank you and hope to be back! : )

This is an easy review. If Kelsey is available for your dates, book immediately. Besides her home being ideally suited for pets with its fenced in backyard, Kelsey is the kindest, most compassionate care giver you'll ever find. Our 15 year old terrier was at ease as soon as we arrived. We are incredibly grateful to Kelsey for her help with our old dog. Kelsey deserves the highest recommendation we can give. Thank you, Kelsey!!

Kelsey is the best. I think my Daisy didn't want to come home 😀. She gave us updates and we're very happy with the service.
