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.

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. I am also insured through Pet Sitters Associates with expanded coverage for client pets to give owners an extra peace of mind while pets are in my care.

Drop-In Visits • Sep 06, 2026

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi and how grateful we are to have found someone we trust with our little Baby Kitty, Bee, who is truly our whole world. Leaving Bee is so hard for us so knowing she was with someone who generally care about her and wanted her to feel loved meant more than I can say. Kelsi sent us a ton of adorable pictures and videos, and wrote us updates every evening, which was incredibly reassuring and made us feel so much better about being away from our precious little girl. It was so obvious that Bee was happy, spoiled (in the best ways), and very loved while we were gone, which completely melts our heart. Kelsi even left us the cutest little drawing of Bee with her final note for us to have when we got back. It was such a sweet, thoughtful touch. We are beyond happy to have found someone we can trust with our sweet little Baby Bee and will 1000% be requesting her every single time we need to sit, and I 1000% recommend her to you!

Kelsi is a wonderful person. She goes above and beyond for people and animals. She is incredibly responsible and caring. My dogs and cat absolutely love her. I highly recommend Kelsi to anyone needing help with their furbabies!

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.

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 Wednesday and Thursday 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.

I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and at ease. Before we meet, it’s helpful to know anything that might make them nervous or unsure around a new person—such as hats, sunglasses or certain movements. Sharing these little details helps me approach them in a way that feels familiar, positive, and comfortable from the start.
