Safety, trust & environment

I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and needs, whether in my home or the client’s. In the client’s home, I maintain the pet’s regular schedule—feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific instructions, while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, I offer a clean, pet-friendly space with supervision, enrichment activities, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like family and prioritize their well-being, safety, and happiness at all times.

Information Kelsey S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know your pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical history, behavior, and any special instructions or preferences. Understanding their likes, dislikes, and any anxieties helps me create a comfortable and safe environment tailored specifically for them.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level and preferences to ensure they stay happy and engaged. This may include walks, playtime with toys, training sessions, interactive games, or simply relaxing cuddle time. My goal is to provide a positive and enjoyable experience for every pet in my care.

Pets

Loving Care, Vet-Trained Hands

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover with two Labrador Retrievers of my own. I have over 11 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including six years at a kennel that provided boarding and rescue services, and five years as a veterinary assistant while studying to become a licensed veterinary technician. I’m currently continuing my education in veterinary technology. Caring for animals is truly my passion—they mean the world to me. You can feel confident knowing your pets will be in loving, capable hands while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can stay connected with your furry family members during your time apart.

Kelsey was great with our pups! Our one dog had a health issue leading up to her stay and she was very understanding and helpful with his care and medication. She kept us posted on how he was each day and there were any changes!
