Pet care experience

Works from home & flexible schedule

I have adored all animals ever since I can remember. Being born and raised on a farm I have taken care of many types of animals. I have one loving dog, a golden-doodle named Sadie. I am familiar with taking care of dogs with special needs, special diets and those who need physical therapy. I also have experience with dogs who are partially paralyzed. One of my favorite activities includes taking my dogs on walks through local parks and towns. My experience with your pet is handled as if it was my own. I understand that each household will have their own request and I am more than willing to make your experience with me the best that I can.

Kelsey was the absolute best!!! We were visiting the North Carolina area and needed someone to take care of our fur babies overnight. Kelsey accepted our request at the last minute. They adjusted well to her mild manner nature. Our fur babies came back relaxed after making a long trip from Arkansas. Thank you Kelsey. You are an angel.

5 stars just isn't enough for Kelsey! Thanks to her taking such good care of our boy, Duke, I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry. She was great to work with on all levels. I appreciate how well she communicated, and how she sent photos and videos throughout the week. Our next trip will be booked based on Kelsey's availability!

Kelsey and her husband are a rare find! They took wonderful care of our pup from beginning to finish. We would definitely recommend them without hesitation.

Kelsey was great with our 9 month old hound dog mix! She sent pics and a video. She answered questions quickly. We will absolutely use her again!

Kelsey took great care of Murphy & I especially appreciated her flexibility to keep him an extra night when my flight landed in Raleigh instead of Roanoke. I enthusiastically recommend her.

Schedule

I work from home which gives me flexibility. I am available for morning, lunch time, and evening potty breaks during the week. On the weekends my schedule is flexible so more of my time will be spent directly with your pet! I do live on a farm where your fur baby can spend time getting their zoomies out :) We will be adding a fully fenced back yard soon; it’s on the honey do list!

Safety, trust & environment

I consider pets to be a huge part in a family! I am more than happy to accommodate to your pet and your households needs and wishes, whatever that may be. Please let me know any expectations you may have in regards to daily feeding, diet choice, exercise, play time, exposure to other pets or humans, etc.

Pets

A typical day

I believe that each pet has its own activity that it absolutely loves! My goal is to entertain your pets with all of its favorite things. May it be going for a walk, playing fetch, going to a dog park or endless belly rubs on the couch, I’m here to provide that! With my own pet I love to change things up from hiking, walks at local parks, and playing with other pups. Sadie is friendly with other dogs and is alway happy to welcome a new friend, only if you and your pet are okay with that. We’re easy going so let us know your preferences!
