NJ Dog Walker & Friend!
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Kelsey! I loved my own dog for 10+ years until she moved to England and became an heiress (seriously it's a great story). Now, I love on other people's dogs! I've had a lucrative, though impromptu career as a house and dog sitter since the age of 13. - My first experience caring for someone else's pets were the summers over high school. My neighbors went on long road trips and I would feed their cats and Black Lab, Dutch, clean the pool, and water their plants. - I fell into dog sitting again in college when my mom's friend planned a 5-week vacation to Italy. Since I was on summer break, she asked if I would be interested in staying at her apartment in DC and care for her Black Lab, Missy. I enjoyed two summers with Missy until I moved to PA for grad school. - During grad school, a supervisor asked me if I were interested in watching his Labradooodle, Nessie, for two weeks while he traveled to Amsterdam. - A couple months later, a friend had to travel overseas for work. Since I was still in grad school and it was summer break, I stayed at her house and spent time with her Terrier mix, Charlie. Basically, if you have to travel out of the state or country and want your dog to continue to enjoy the comforts of home, I am your go-to girl.

We are not able to welcome dogs into our own house at this time. However, I can visit your dog in their own home where all of their favorite toys, sleeping spots, and food is!
Information Kelsey S. would like to know about your pet
I have experience with large and small breeds. I would want to know if a dog sheds, is prone to biting/scratching, barks, and how well it gets along with other dogs. Not that these are non-negotiable, just good information to be aware of! All dogs have their quirks - I once watched a dog that was TERRIFIED of water and literally never had a bath and another that I had to cross to the other side of the street if another dog was coming along. The
A typical day
I love walking dogs outside to get fresh air! Tug-of-war and fetch are favorite playtime activities. Cuddles, brushing, and petting for when we're ready to relax.
