Vet student ready to help!

Hello! I'm Kelsey and I have been in the veterinary medical field as a technician since 2014. I started vet school in 2023 and am finishing up now. I have worked in a number of companion animal hospitals as well as an emergency hospital and have had the opportunity to work with pets of all shapes and sizes with a vast variety of needs. I give the care and respect to all pets that I would want given to mine. I am knowledgeable and experienced with a multitude of medical conditions requiring daily medication administration. I am available on most weekends, early week day mornings, and late week day afternoons. I am extremely familiar with timid or aggressive pets (I have one myself) and understand their body language and possess the patience to win them over. I'd love to have the opportunity to give your furry friend some love!

Kelsey was wonderful with our dogs and very accomodating. She was patient with our timid dog and kept in communication while we were gone. Kelsey went above expectations and made me feel very comfortable. It was very nice to come home to happy dogs, the mail brought in, and a clean house.

I have known Kelsey a long time in the "pet world." She used to work at the animal hospital that I brought my pets to, and she was amazing at taking care of my fur babies. She offered to take care of them whenever we planned a two week trip to Canada, knowing that one of mine has medical needs, and she must get 2 shots each day. I think they were more sad to see her leave than for us to get back home!! She knows what she is doing with animals, and she knows how special a pet is in the family.

Kelsey is awesome! I have 2 dogs that she takes care of when I am away. She’s very flexible and they definitely get their exercise in when she’s around. One of my pups has a bit of an attitude, but Kelsey seemed like a natural and my dog got used to her right away- after a little barking and some sniffs! She’s a great dog sitter and a great caregiver! 14/10 in petsitting!

Kelsey is such an amazing caregiver for our animals. My little pup gets so anxious when I leave, and he does terrible in boarding facilities. Kelsey is the first person that he has really warmed up to, and he gets so excited when he sees her, which just puts my mind at ease when I'm getting ready for a trip! Knowing that she has so much vet and animal experience also gives me a piece of mind to know that if anything happens, she knows exactly what to do and how to help! I already recommend her to my friends in town when they need a sitter. She is the best!

I would like to know if your dog is timid or aggressive so I can use extra time to allow them to be comfortable with me. All breeds are welcome with me.
