Pet care experience

Expert care from head to toe-beans!

I have been a dog owner since before I could walk, and have always seen my dogs as members of my family. In addition to growing up with dogs, I have also raised several litters of AKC registered Golden Retrievers, so I truly know how to care for every aspect of a dog. I have the knowledge and experience to care for any breed - from large & high energy to small & anxious… I am confident caring for all. I am very educated in breed specific traits and understand that every breed comes with specific needs. I am also willing to accommodate most unique needs you may have; whether your dog needs to be fed away from any other dogs/people, needs daily medication or even if you need me to reinforce a strict training regimen while they are in my care. I am confident in my ability to meet any level of care required. So whether you’re looking for an easygoing home with kids to snuggle your family dog while they’re away from you, or a knowledgable caretaker who knows the importance of stability and regimens; we surely will be the perfect fit!

Kelsey and family loved on our sweet Johanna! She was well cared for and we received regular updates. Pickup and drop off was easy and smooth.

We absolutely loved Kelsey! She was fantastic with Bentley. Kelsey sent us pictures and updates, took him on walks, played and snuggled him. I never had to worry about him and knew he was very well loved and taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey again!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large cozy house with plenty of space to run around and play! There’s a large fenced in backyard to run around in! Our dog has free range of the house, but we have the ability to keep dogs and children completely separate when needed (via baby gates) and are willing to enforce any home rules to ensure stability. I have 3 well behaved children who are adequately trained on appropriate ways to interact with animals. I also have an adorable mini goldendoodle named Arlo who just might be the most lazy & well mannered doodle out there! I was a school nurse before becoming a stay at home mom and my husband is a doctor, so we have a very medically trained and safe household!

Pets

A typical day

I believe mental stimulation is just as important for dogs as physical stimulation. We have a wide variety of mental stimulation available for dogs in our home including puzzles, squeaky toys, bones and lick mats. We also have a big backyard for running around and playing with the ball. We love going on walks and live right next to a school where we often go to have off leash exercise in the empty field. If you are okay with your dog riding in cars we also love to take drives to the local coffee shop for a treat!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or unique requests. We can typically accommodate any needs but it’s best to check ahead of time just to be safe! *Due to having young children in the home reactive dogs or high risk breeds will be taken on a case by case basis; if we can make it safe for everyone then we would love to have them!
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.
