I am currently on summer break from work as I am a Special Edcation paraeducator. I am somewhat of a homebody who loves to spend her time reading and taking walks outside. I tend to go to bed fairly early at night so that I'm up early to take care of my own fur baby. This tends to be the same when school is in session as well.

As stated before I have a fur baby of my own. A cat named Phoebe who loves people and getting to know other animals. I love spending time with the animals I take care of whether its walk or play time. Bonding is very important to me. I want your fur babies to feel as safe and comfy as possible when they're with me. There's also nice parks nearby where I live so I can take them to play anytime the weather is nice.

Information Kelsi K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs or meds your pets may have as well as their usual energy levels. Also include any triggers they may have and what I can do to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

A typical day

I will explore the neighborhood so as to let your pets investigate new smells and of course visit the park for play time. For cats I have a cat tower they can play on and lots of toys so that they can play together and hopefully have lots of cuddle time. Also down to hear what your pets typically enjoy doing so I can implement that into their day.

Kelsi was amazing taking care of both my dog and cat. They were very happy pets when I picked them up. She was also very flexible when I needed to add an additional night last minute. She was great at sending pictures and updates along the way. I would definitely book Kelsi again to watch my pets!

Kelsi has pet sat my disabled Chihuahua many times. She is on top of giving her medicine on time, giving regular check-ins with photos, walks, and lots of love. She's gentle, patient, and caring towards my pet. I recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. She's reliable, communicative, and an experienced pet sitter.

Kelsi has been amazing with my rescue Mr Tuxedo, he’s a little shy but loves following people around and likes his space during the day. She was great with his feeding schedule and exercise before bed
