Safety, trust & environment

I'm very particular about my own pets' care. I understand the nuances in the types of attention that your pet(s) need. I'll respect your routine and instructions. When in doubt, I'll reach out!

Information Kelsey T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your pet prefers! Do they have a special name? Do they like a certain type of treat? Will your cat be happier if I leave them alone? Should I try to find them? What's that perfect scritches spot? Behind the ears? By their tail? Belly?

A typical day

I love to learn your dog's favorite walk route! Unless you specify a route, I let the dog, or more accurately their nose, take the lead. If I'm dropping in, I'll check for any toys to play with and provide the best scritches! If they want to be outside, I'll give them as much time as they'd like.

Pet care experience

"Do you baby sit human children, too?" -Things my clients say at free meet and greets. I've cared for a variety of animals - from chickens to bulls! I've been an average pet owner and sitter (dogs, cats, hamsters and fish) for most of my life and professionally since 2021. I have volunteered at many rescues including CatNap in La Grange Park, Erin's Farm Sanctuary in Hobart, IN, and PAWs Chicago. My time at the sanctuary gives me a unique perspective and courage to work with any animal! No matter your pets behavior, I can adjust my approach to their needs. I have the patience to sit with a shy pet until they are comfortable and the energy to run around the block with an excitable pup! I even love a cranky kitty and have experience providing oral medication to VERY hissy cats. My hands are typically covered in scratches from socializing the most fiesty shelter cats. 😹

Kelsey does a wonderful job with my kitty who is a little shy with visitors. She is the first person I call when I go out of town.

As always Kelsey did a great job. Our cat loves her, and it puts our mind at ease knowing she is being well taken care of. We will be using Kelsey again.
