Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted care for dogs & cats!
Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and can't imagine life without them. Twice a week I volunteer at a local dog rescue, which keeps me sharp on handling dogs of all ages, temperments, and needs. I also share my home with cats, so I understand feline routines and personalities just as well as I do dogs. From playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I am able to offer an energetic walk or a calm, reassuring visit to your pet's day. I bring genuine love, attentiveness, and real hands-on experience to every walk and drop-in.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets thrive with a consistent routine and am able to follow instructions closely for feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, medications, brushing, and any other custom and daily care. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and body language so I am able to recognize when something seems out of character or when they need a different approach, committing to always notify the owner for follow up. I never force interactions or activities- for example, if a dog is not interested in a walk, I will adjust and find an alternative way to keep them engaged and comfortable. Above all, I prioritize a clean, safe, and low-stress environment where both cats and dogs feel secure and well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Kelsi is a kind, responsible and well-trusted pet owner and care giver to both cats and dogs. She is compassionate and careful with pets and always makes sure she understands the care they need. She is a super dog walker and can take dogs for long or short walks. Kelsi has a special connection to animals and forms a bond with each animal she meets. She is familiar with dispensing medications and recording treatments accurately. I would trust Kelsi with my own dog and know he would be in good hands with her. I would highly recommend her if you would like someone who would love your pet as much as you do!
I’ve had the privilege of volunteering alongside Kelsi at Houlagans Rest, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly reliable, always punctual, and one of the most detail-oriented people I’ve ever worked with. She puts her whole heart into everything she does and never cuts corners. What really sets Kelsi apart is her ability to read dogs and understand their individual needs. She’s exceptionally in tune with their body language, energy, and comfort levels, and she’s always an advocate for them. The dogs are lucky to have someone who pays such close attention to what they’re trying to communicate. I trust Kelsi completely with animals, including my own. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely devoted to the well-being of your pets, you won’t find anyone better.
Kelsi has always been so loving with my little Chiweenie, Dolly. Not only does she remember Kelsi, but she genuinely gets excited when she sees Kelsi which says everything about the care and love she receives . I always know Dolly's in the best hands with her. Kelsi's love for animals has always been evident and you can immediately see the special connection she has with them. She's dependable, responsible, and takes a personal interest in every animal she cares for. If you're looking for someone who will provide excellent care, lots of affection, and will treat your pet like family, Kelsi is the perfect choice!
I have a Rottweiler who is 4 years old, 130 pounds, and honestly kind of a lot! He is super playful but takes a minute to warm up to new people. So, I was a little nervous the first time I left him with Kelsi, but she won him over almost instantly, with treats in hand! He's not an easy dog to handle, but she handled him like a pro, and even tolerated him drooling all over her. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and isn't just going through the motions. Bringing treats along wasn't something she had to do, but it's exactly the kind of thing that shows how much she cares. I trust her completely with my dog, and honestly, she's just a great person too, reliable, warm, and easy to trust.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a consistent schedule and enjoy planning my days around the pets I am caring for. I volunteer at a dog rescue on Monday and Friday mornings and have a few standing commitments on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and am committed to maintaining each pet's individual or household routines. I am very reliable, thrive with structure, and always make sure the pets in my care receive the attention and consistency they deserve.
