Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer care in your home where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I always follow your instructions closely, respect your space, and treat your home with care. You can trust that your pet will be loved, safe, and well looked after while you’re away.

Information Kelsey R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs ahead of time. I have had senior dogs and nervous dogs before. As long as I am aware of anything important, they will be safe with me. If your dog tends to pull on walks, I prefer a heads up on that. I am strong, but that is always good to be aware of!

A typical day

I love getting outside with dogs! Going on walks or playing fetch is so nice especially when the weather is good. If your dog is more relaxed, I am a professional cuddler. As long as you communicate your dogs needs, I am sure I can provide.

Pet care experience

As a performer who travels the world by sea, I know how comforting the love of an animal can be and while I’m away I miss that connection so much! I have loved, snuggled, and pet animals around the world and while I’m back on land I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same attention! I’ve had dogs my whole life and grew up in a home full of furry friends. My parents volunteer with Duo Dogs, so our house has always been a revolving door of puppies and big dogs alike. Two of our English Labs are especially sensitive to fireworks and thunderstorms, so I’m no stranger to calming anxious pups with patience, love, and a gentle hand. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a game of fetch, some cozy snuggle time, or maybe it’s your turn to get out and see the world, I’m here to keep your pets happy and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is wide open during my time home-so don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s set something up!

Kelsey did an amazing job house sitting for our two adult pups! She sent great pics and they looked so relaxed and very well cared for. Would absolutely recommend!

Kelsey was absolutely phenomenal as both our dog sitter and house sitter while we were in Alaska. She provided frequent, detailed updates about our pups, along with the sweetest photos and videos that gave us so much peace of mind. She was especially attentive to our older dog, asking thoughtful questions to make sure she was providing the best possible care. She truly went above and beyond—not only caring for our dogs with genuine love and attention, but also taking great care of our home. After a storm passed through, she checked everything, handled anything that needed attention, and made sure everything was in great shape. She even had the house clean for our return, took out the trash, and did the laundry, which was such a thoughtful surprise after a long day of traveling. Knowing Kelsey was there allowed us to fully enjoy our trip because we never had to worry about our dogs or our home. We completely trust her, couldn't have asked for a better experience, and will absolutely book her again for any future pet or house sitting needs. Highly recommend!

Kelsey was an awesome sitter for our dachshund! Dependable, responsible, and a very sweet person! Kelsey spent a lot of time with Sage and kept us updated with pics and any concerns/issues. Our house was just like we left it as well. Kelsey is a gem and I would definitely rebook with her!!
