Pet care experience

Your Dog’s New Favorite Friend

I grew up with a dog in the house. While I don’t currently have a pet. I’ve spent years caring for dogs for friends and within my close friend group, and I’ve become the go-to dog sitter when someone needs help. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own energy level and routine, and I take the time to follow instructions closely so your dog stays happy and comfortable.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 22, 2026

Kelsey has been such a good dog walker/dog sitter for Millie. When your dog runs toward your dog sitter and is visibly excited to spend time with them, you know you have a good one! And Kelsey is that! She is super flexible and takes great care of Millie! Will definitely be using Kelsey again!

Kelsey was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Honey and Machu! She was always punctual, took the time to play with them, and made them feel comfortable while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

Kelsey is a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. She has watched my dog Odin while I was on several long weekend trips away. Highly recommend.

Kelsey did an excellent job taking care of our dog Bailey. She was reliable, communicative, and so caring with him. We felt completely comfortable leaving Bailey in her care and would highly recommend her to anyone using Rover.

Kelsey has cat-sat for me multiple times, ranging from single-day visits to a full week of care. I have an 8-year-old cat, Birdie, who is quite shy, timid, and very particular about her routine. Kelsey is always incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive with her, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. Birdie is comfortable with Kelsey, and I’ve never had a single issue while she’s been in her care. I would absolutely recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care based on the service and each dog’s individual needs. For walks, I focus on safe, enjoyable exercise, matching the pace and distance to your dog’s energy level while reinforcing good leash behavior and making sure they get plenty of sniff and movement time. For drop-ins, I handle potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, while keeping your dog’s routine consistent and stress-free. I always make sure fresh water is available and that your dog feels comfortable and cared for during each visit. For doggy daycare, I provide a calm, attentive environment with structured play, supervision, and rest time as needed. I prioritize safety, positive interactions, and making sure dogs feel secure and engaged throughout the day. Across all services, I’m reliable, attentive, and focused on clear communication, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in great hands.

A typical day

I keep things fun and tailored to each dog! That can mean walks with lots of sniff breaks, games like fetch or tug, playtime with favorite toys, and plenty of pets and belly rubs. I balance activity with downtime so dogs stay happy, relaxed, and well cared for while we hang out.

I like to know your pet’s routine, energy level, and personality ahead of time, as well as any feeding instructions, walking preferences, or special needs. It’s also helpful to know how they do on leash, around other dogs or people, and if there are any quirks, fears, or favorite toys or treats. The more I know upfront, the better I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy in my care.
