Best Friend to All Animals

Hello! I am so excited to meet your furry friend. A lover of all animals, I have had pets my whole life (including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and goats!) In my professional life, I have three years of experience working in a rescue setting (I understand animals from this background- shyness or aggression issues welcome), and one year of experience in a vet hospital. Aside from that, I have plenty of personal experience- with cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies. My own void kitty (black cat) is 14 years old with kitten energy and is the queen of my house. As she deals with thyroid issues, I am comfortable administrating medications. I additionally live with two sassy Shiba Inus so know how to wrestle a stubborn dog is needed! I LOVE senior animals and while I haven't given cats insulin in a long time- I am willing to relearn.

Safety, trust & environment

My time with your animal is 100% with your animal- no distractions. I am willing to do whatever you need for them! Toss a ball, feed treats, talk a walk, send photos, reinforce training- you name it! I also am familiar with senior care and some special needs such as mobility assistance.

Great communication and feedback on how the job is going. She cared and played with our sweet kitty and sent us tons of pictures and updates. Would book again.

Kelsey was an amazing sitter for our dog while we were away! She was great at communicating, expressing any concern she had, and updating with lots of pictures. We were able to enjoy vacation while knowing our anxious dog was in great hands and being cared for so well

You will not ever meet a bigger animal lover than Kelsey. Before Kelsey moved back to Seattle, she took care of our cat, three dogs, and fish for about five years. If you are like us and only want to leave your pets with someone that is going to love them as much as you do, then you will not find anyone better than her. Over the years Kelsey became a member of our family, and we have not been able to find anyone like her since.

Kelsey has helped with our 3 cats and 3 dogs we have had over the years. She loves animals and it shows through her patience and gentleness. She reads a lot about animals so she is very knowledgeable about many aspects of animal health and care. Since she enjoys animals so much, she spends a lot of quality time with them - playing with, brushing them, and petting them. I think animals can sense her comfort and gentleness so they trust her. I have complete confidence in leaving my beloved pets in her care.

Please let me know any personality quirks, special needs, medication needs, and food routines before a drop-in or visit. I also like to know their favorite calm-down methods (petting, cuddling, alone time, words of validation, etc) or best loved toys. Want lots of photos? Let me know! Please note- at this time I cannot accept any recurring visits. Thank you for understanding!
