Will walk and cuddle you pup!

Pet care experience

I am a full time professor at a local university and a life-long dog lover! My 15 year old German Wirehair Pointer Harriet and I love other dogs. She loves to play but know when to back off if another dog is shy or threatened. We love to go on walks down by the Missouri River and on lonely gravel roads. We will occasionally frequent the local dog park. I would prefer to bring Harriet along if you would like me to sit at your house (we are a package deal). She sleeps all day and never makes a mess. She has gone with with me on many pet sitting adventures and does well. Finally, I have looked after dogs, cats, and even turkeys for over 20 years and absolutely love it. I can't believe I can get paid for looking after dogs! You can rest assured that your pup will be loved and exercised while you are away.

Jessi had another great stay with Kelsey. We knew she was in good hands so did not worry while we had a getaway. Thank you so much Kelsey for taking care of her so well.

Kelsey was so great!!! Our pup loved her so much and was worn out from hiking and playing when she got home. We will definitely use her in the future and will refer our friends and family to her. She was so easy to work with and very responsive. Thank you again Kelsey!

Kelsey was a great sitter for us. Very prompt and professional with communication and most importantly, she took care of our girl just like her own. As a bonus, her sweet dog was a friend/playmate for ours so she had lots of fun and attention. I would recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a reliable, animal loving sitter. I did not worry while we were away and she sent me pictures of my girl so I could see the fun and attention she was getting. We will be happy to book with her again, thank you so much for taking care of Jessi just like we do.

I am a veterinarian and have known Kelsey Stevens for 5 years. We were colleagues at the University of South Dakota. Not only did I interact with Kelsey in our professional setting, but I visited with her numerous times at her farmstead outside of Vermillion, SD. I would take my two Irish Wolfhounds to visit her and her dog "Harriet". What a great place for dogs! Kelsey basically created an acreage where all dogs were welcomed... not only outdoors, but in the house! My Wolfhounds loved her! She is very responsible and understands dog behavior and their emotional needs. Further, she has a medical background and is very capable of assessing any health issues that may arise with any animals in her care. I would never hesitate to have Kelsey take care of my very valuable Wolfhounds, and am sure she would provide that same level of care to any dogs in the Rover.com program! I wish that she still lived here in South Dakota... I need a dogsitter!
