Pet care experience
Hello! I work as a research assistant in Baltimore, MD. I am gone during the day but can do drop ins at night or in the morning before work. Due to my work hours I only accept clients with CATS. As of 04/01/2024 I will be also be fostering cats! Message me for more information about who I currently have and info about their health/temperament etc :) Living situation: I live in a house with my partner Harrison, border collie puppy, cat, and my guppy fish tank. I can board cats and small pets (fish, rabbits, reptiles, etc). We use a pet gate to separate the dog space from the cat space. If your cat is not comfortable with dogs they can have free range of their bedroom, the basement, and a few extra rooms. They will also have the option to explore the living and kitchen rooms while always having a place to retreat to while they get used to our dog, Niko. --- A little about me: I grew up with animals (dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, parakeets, cockatiels, fish). I have owned, walked, and cared for dogs of a range of sizes and personalities. Giving pets medication is also not a problem. I have had plenty of practice applying eye creams and eye drops, as well as sneakily giving pills (via cheese, treats, pill pockets, etc).
Reviews
We highly recommend Kelsey! Our two young cats stayed with them for 7 nights. Kelsey sent daily updates with photos, and even a video towards the end of their visit. This was our first experience with Rover, so I was a little nervous. Before the booking, Kelsey invited us to her home to see where the cats would be staying and to meet her partner and their pets. It set my mind at ease, and I'm so glad we decided to book with Kelsey. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Kelsey, Harrison, and Simon!
Kelsey and Harrison were amazing! My cat tends to be incredibly shy. She hid under the bed for a few days. However she warmed up quite a bit towards the end of her stay. I will definitely be booking with Kelsey again. I could not thank you enough for everything!
Kelsey and her partner were wonderful care givers to our two kittens. We received a daily report and the pictures she provided showed our girls were expanding their horizons so to speak and were doing well. We will definitely use Kelsey again.
Kelsey did a wonderful job watching our 2 kitties. She was very professional and diligent. Wish you were gonna be around here longer but best wishes in your new endeavors out east in Baltimore.

Safety, trust & environment
Cats and small pets who stay at my house can have the luxury of their own room or share the house if they are comfortable with my adult cat and border collie.
Home
Information Kelsey S. would like to know about your pet
I like to have instructions written for me so I can follow a routine that your animal is comfortable with. And to know any potential problems or behaviors that may occur, such as if your dog chases bikes or is uncomfortable around strangers or how they interact with dogs they may encounter on our walks. Your cat must be vaccinated before boarding!
A typical day
On walks (if allowed) we will explore neighborhoods and parks. I do daily training sessions with my cat and then play time, which I can do for your animal as well.

Availability
My work schedule is semi-flexible so I may be able to go in later/go home earlier depending on your pet's needs. For my pets, I start the day with a walk, training session, and breakfast before heading to work. Then I come home for another walk (my cat LOVES rolling in the dirt), and finish the night with a play session and dinner meals. My partner works from home, so if you board your pet with us they will receive cuddles all day long :)
