Pet care experience

Quiet + cozy 🏠 Hybrid schedule

Hello, I’m Kelsey. In my professional life, I work in the tech world, and my hybrid schedule allows me to be home with the little ones for a majority of the week. During my free time, I enjoy watching movies, getting lost in a good book, and writing fiction. I'm also the proud mama of two sweet rescue dogs, and a Maine Coon. My little family is very used to guests, as we've been doing this since 2016 ❤️ Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions not covered in my profile—I’m always happy to chat!

Super kind and responsive! They sent updates through the time Elias was there. They even shared an extra treat to keep him busy when it was too cold to play outside. I’m happy we found our new place to board!

Schedule

MEET-AND-GREET POLICY: To keep things low-stress and consistent for myself and the animals in my care, I no longer offer in-person meet-and-greets. Instead, I’m happy to do a quick phone or video call and review your dog’s routine, triggers, and care instructions. I’ll also send updates during the stay so you feel totally comfortable.

Pets

A typical day

This is a very peaceful household, so if you have an elderly pet or one that just isn't a fan of big groups, we'd probably be a great fit! I typically only accept one family at a time and my routine is very consistent/calm.

16 to 40 lbs

Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only

Does your little one get along with others? Because I have pets of my own, it's important that everyone feels safe and happy during the stay! Is your fur baby up-to-date with their core vaccinations and flea/tick medication? (These include Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella. For the flea/tick medication, I look for this April through November.) I do require documentation; simply texting a picture will be adequate. How does your pet handle a new environment? I work from home during the day, so I’m best suited for calm, lower-energy dogs who are comfortable relaxing in a quiet space. If your pup tends to be vocal or highly active, I may not be the best fit. The rest—history, triggers, dietary restrictions, medical needs, etc.—feel free to tell me all about!
