Safety, trust & environment

I have one dog of my own, Sam, a friendly yellow lab. Because of my schedule, I’m only able to accept in-home boarding or daycare in my home from Thursday through Sunday. I’m happy to answer any questions and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone.

Information Kelsey S. would like to know about your pet

Since I have a dog of my own, I’ll just need to know if your dog gets along well with other dogs. Please also let me know about any behavior concerns or special needs your pet may have so I can provide the best care possible.

A typical day

I’m happy to take your dog on walks around your neighborhood and spend quality time playing with them. Whether your pup loves fetch, tug-of-war, or other fun activities, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. If your dog enjoys playing with other dogs, they can also have supervised playtime with my dog.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m currently in nursing school and looking to walk and watch dogs on the side. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. While I stepped away from using Rover for a bit, I’ve been a longtime Rover user as a pet owner and am excited to be back offering care. I’ve fostered dogs in the past and am comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience. I can help with walking, feeding, administering medications, and following any special routines your dog may have. Being in nursing school has made me very attentive, responsible, and detail-oriented, especially when it comes to health and safety. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’d love the chance to help care for your furry family member!

Kelsey was great! She met us for a quick meet and greet to meet Joey before the drop-in date. That was very helpful. Kelsey communicated with us during the drop-ins and sent us a few pics of Joey! Thanks so much!

Kelsey was very communicative, which is super important to me. She also took lots of great pics and worked very well with a complicated high maintenance dog with some behavior issues. Special bonus for that!!

Kelsey has had a love for dogs since she has been little. As a child and adult she has taken care of many dogs either through ownership or babysitting. Dogs trust her and obey her due to the kindness and discipline she shows them. Kelsey has babysit our dog on numerous occasions and even spent periods training her to obey some commands. She would be an excellent dog caregiver.
