Pet care experience

Lifelong pup lover and caregiver

Hi! My name is Kelsey and I’m based in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. I’ve been a Rover sitter since March 2024, but have owned and cared for dogs my entire life. I work remotely full-time and have a flexible schedule, so my specialty is house sitting or doggy day care with pups that need company during your 9-5, though I am also happy to provide overnight care in your home or mine! I am an experienced, active, communicative and attentive sitter and look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 7 month old puppy. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for and took incredible care of our apartment. Beyond what we could have asked of a sitter. Highly recommend working with Kelsey!

Kelsey was truly an amazing dog sitter but also took such good care of my apartment. She was communicative, sent regular updates, and also went above and beyond what I would expect from how she took care of my apartment. I would love to use her again as it seemed like Pete really enjoyed her care but also I fully trust her to take care of my space. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Kelsey was wonderful! She was communicative and patient with Virginia's quirks. She also left our apartment spotless. We never like leaving Virginia, but always felt that she was in good hands!

Kelsey is the best! This is our 3rd or 4th time having her stay at our apartment and watch our dog. She always goes above and beyond. Can’t recommend her enough!

Schedule

I am a full-time remote worker with a flexible schedule and during the week can hang out with your pup all day! Mid-day walks and potty breaks are no problem. On the weekends, I am the best fit for dogs that can be left alone for up to 4-6 hours, though spending time with them is my priority.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to do whatever it takes to adjust to your pet’s lifestyle! My goal is to provide the same level of care that you do so that they’re not missing you too much while they are gone. If you have any specific needs, requests, or questions, feel free to shoot me a message.

A typical day

I am game for anything that your pup wants to do! Typically, that includes long walks, off-leash time at the dog park (if allowed), or hanging out and playing at home. I know that all dogs have their favorite things and their little quirks and I’m all ears for everything!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks ahead of time. I am most familiar with medium- and small-sized breeds, but am comfortable with large dogs and puppies, too. If you’d like to book an overnight house sitting booking, I kindly ask that your home is clean and equipped with sheets and a towel for my stay so I can be just as comfy as your pet! For those who are interested in doggy day care or boarding, please be aware that I have two roommates, though I have a room to myself that your pup would sleep in. Additionally, my apartment is located up three flights of steps, but I can lift small dogs with mobility problems.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
