Right now my focus of pet care would be on your pets! I do not currently have any pets of my own after losing my Coco. I am currently preparing my house to be better suited for whatever next pet I get. I work as a nurse overnights so I currently work 3 nights a week, leaving me with 4 days each week for assisting with your pet needs! (:

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to listen and learn what ever is best needed for your pet. Before meeting your pet, please just let me know any specific details and I will try and ask anything else I may think important. I spent many years developing the skills to take care of my Coco as she aged and needed more detailed care for various conditions so I am happy to learn that for your pet.

Information Kelsey S. would like to know about your pet

Before visiting I would love to know any specific behaviors, quirks, or just general things your pet does or does not like. I know pets have personalities just like humans so I would love to discuss with you exactly what your pet may need from me.

A typical day

A typical day could involve whatever your dog needs! I am happy to try and accommodate different types of walks (more focus on just getting them out, more focus on getting them exercise, etc) or different types of engagement for any drop in visits.

Dog lover with senior experience

Pet care experience

I got my pup Coco when she was 1 years old and took care of her and her detailed needs until she passed at 16.5 years old. I have experience from her with medication administration, detailed care for leg healing, ear cleaning, skin care, and more. I have also spent time with various family and friend's dogs. I have spent time with a wide variety of breeds assisting with a family friend who fostered. I am bringing myself to Rover to hopefully be able to spend some time with dogs while I can not have a dog right now in my own home.

Kelsey is without a doubt one of the kindest, most caring, and empathetic people that I know. She is a loving friend, partner, and caregiver as a nurse. Her bond with animals is something I find truly extraordinary about her, the level of devotion and care she demonstrated to her dog, Coco, truly shined. When Coco became sick she did not hesitate to nurse her to health, when she had mobility issues she helped her walk, and throughout it all she showered Coco with love, affection, and the best treats money could buy. Coco was truly blessed to have Kelsey in her long life, as I think all are who cross her path. As a caregiver I know she'll demonstrate the same level of care, love, and responsibility she did with her own dog of 16 years.

Kelsey is a fun, caring, and great person. I honestly trust her with my life. She's so incredibly loving of animals and attentive to their needs. This is who you want to trust with your pets ❤️

Kelsey provided excellent care for my senior dog. Very responsive to their dietary needs and slower pace. She responded to communication timely and was easy to work with.
