Availability

During the week, I have the option to work from home a few days, so I can be flexible if your pup needs someone there throughout the day. For long-term boarding, I can’t promise to work from home forever, but we can make a plan together on how to best care for your animal. On weekends, I’m very available!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an animal-free home, so your pup will have all the attention to themselves. While I don’t have a backyard, I’m just a short walk from public parks and outdoor spaces where your dog can get some fresh air, and even pal around with other dogs at the dog park!

Information Kelsey S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any behaviors or circumstances that may require additional/specialized care. I will do my best to meet you and your pet's needs!

A typical day

I am so lucky to live near several open spaces so I love to bring pups to the Esplanade or the Boston Common several times a day. Inside, I am happy to continue your training or even attempt to teach an old dog a new trick! With all the mental and physical activity, we usually end the day with some TV watching and couch lounging.

Lifelong Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I grew up in a house full of pets (plus a rotating cast of foster animals), so I’ve seen it all- energetic puppies, sweet seniors, and pups needing a little extra patience. I previously thought I’d pursue veterinary medicine so I’ve spent many many hours volunteering at shelters and clinics, and even though I ended up pursuing a career in biotech I’ve never been able to shake that love for animals. Since full-time pet ownership isn’t possible for me right now, I get my “dog fix” by giving other people’s pets all the belly rubs, walks, and care they deserve.

Kelsey was so great with my pup! She was also really flexible with times etc. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!

Kelsey took amazing care of my dog Juno while I was away! She sent lots of photos and updates and I always felt confident that Juno was safe and well-cared for. I would definitely recommend her!

Booking with Kelsey was a 10/10 experience! This was our first time using rover, so we were hesitant/apprehensive about it. However, Kelsey made the entire process seamless and alleviated any worries we ever could have had! I most appreciated how responsive she was to messages. Our pup came home tired, but in a great mood-all good signs of quality care:) Will try to book again if/when we are ever out of town and need a sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
