Pet care experience

Home of an avid animal lover <3

Hi, my name is Kelsey! I am an internal security professional who works from home and have had pets in my home since the day I was born and always been a huge lover of animals of all kinds! I live in the heart of beautiful Clintonville, 15-20 mins away from most surrounding Columbus areas. There is plenty of yard space for your pups to roam around, but I would be keeping them on leash as it is not fenced in. I have a lot of experience with a multitude of breeds of pups so I can handle small or large breeds! My strive is to create a comfortable and soothing environment for your pup while they're with me in their home away from home. I am happy to send updates throughout the day including photos of your pet and will inform you of our daily activities. :-) I allow dogs to be on furniture (besides my bed, we unfortunately have a full size bed so doggies do not fit 😞), but if you do not allow your pup on furniture in your own home, no worries! I have dog beds in my house and other cozy areas where they can be comfortable. Just let me know what rules you have for your animals and I will be sure to respect and follow any and all wishes. ***I DO require dogs to be crate trained as I live in an apartment building and I crate dogs while I am away to ensure your pet and my own pet’s safety. Prior to booking boarding requests I require a meet and greet and if stays are more than 3 nights I recommend a trial night to ensure it is a good fit on both ends!*** I will be sure to notify if there will be any other animals present than the ones that are typically in my home, and rest assured knowing all my animals are up to date on vaccines and flea/tick medications. I have decades of experience with animals. Growing up I had responsibilities to help take care of the family pets and have had years of experience of raising my own pets since my early twenties. My pup Kitana has been with me for 5 years and was raised as a puppy solely by me. I have helped other friends with pet watching and training as well. I would be more than happy to take care of your fur baby and can answer any questions or concerns!

Kelsey is SO kind. Her love and care for my cats was apparent from the first video update she sent. She was patient when the cats were being quirky and she went above and beyond to ensure their routines were followed and they were as happy as possible. I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for everything, Kelsey!!

As always, Kelsey did an outstanding job with my kitties checking in on both of them twice a day administering oral meds to my one kitty that has seizures. It is such a relief when traveling, knowing they are being taken care of so well. thank you again Kelsey for wonderful service!

Kelsey was amazing with my cat Chester! He's usually very shy and doesn't take well to strangers but was immediately friendly with her. I can tell he had a good time and enjoyed seeing her every day!

Kelsey was so caring and communicative when taking care of both our dog and cat. Her videos and pictures allowed me to enjoy my time away from home even though I was really missing my furbies. I would absolutely hire her again!

I love being in the area I live because I can safely take your pup for walks and Park of Roses is nearby to go and explore. There are plenty of toys in my home for the pups to play with and being home all day it will be easy for me to give a lot of attention and love.
