New grad animal-lover

Pet care experience

Whether it was reading books about animals in the library with my twin sister in grade school, playdates at friends’ houses who had dogs and cats, or “Dogs on Call” events at college, having animals in my life was always important to me. I wasn’t able to have any pets growing up because of a small house and my dad’s allergies, but once my aunt got a dog, I found myself helping out however I could, including stopping by the house to give her bathroom break while my aunt would work, jumping at the opportunity to help bathe her, and watching her while her and her kids were on trips. I loved being able to help raise and love her from the time she was a puppy to when she passed. That same aunt got another energetic pup as the pandemic unfolded, and she’s been a tremendous source of joy and normalcy, from the routine her needs require to the loving spunkiness she brings into our lives. I knew that if I was able, I wanted to have a furry friend of my own once I got to college. Luckily enough, one my roommates brought her two young cats with her, and I’ve been helping watch them when my roommate is not around. They’ve also helped a lot with routine and destress! Though I don’t have a dog of my own yet, I aspire to become a full-time dog owner once I graduate college (really soon!), get settled with a job, and have the time to devote the continuous love and attention they deserve. In the meantime, I look forward to helping love and support your pets however I can!

Kelsey was great with our puppy Riley!!. It was our first time leaving him with someone he didn’t know and he was very comfortable with her. We will definitely use her again.

Kelsey is a wonderful person with a huge heart. She has watched and been around my two dogs for over 15 yrs. She is very responsible and would give the best care for your pet. I have fully trusted Kelsey with my dogs and know you would be lucky to have her also !!!!!!

Kelsey was such a great sitter! I was out of town for a week and she would send me updates & pictures when she went to go check in on my dogs, which I really appreciated! She was very respectful and my dogs were very well-taken care of :)

Safety, trust & environment

I can take your dog(s) for bathroom breaks every few hours and can take them for several walks a day depending on energy level; I am also open to taking care of puppies! My specialty is small to medium-sizes dogs. Additionally, I am comfortable with cats and can keep them company, feed them, and clean a litter box as needed.

Information Kelsey W. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog do well being around other animals and dogs? Does your pet have anxiety or get anxious during bad weather? Does your dog like to go on walks, or mostly stay at home? Does your dog take any medications or have any special cares I should know about?

A typical day

I love to spend time outside, so we will do lots of walks and playing in your yard, a nearby green space, and/or the ample walking paths in and around Madison! We will also lounge outside and take advantage of the gorgoeus weather, weather permitting. If your dog loves to swim, we will make use of the lakes around us.
