Availability

Currently in office part time, I can move things around and spend time with them during work breaks to care for your pet/s in the best way they need, whether that be some cuddle time, potty breaks, walks, playtime, etc. I understand all dogs have different needs and schedules and I will do my best to accommodate that. Please understand my schedule could change and I will update you if I am facing more working days away from home! During my down time, I can love on your little (or big) furry family, take them for walks, rides, dog parks, beach time, really just spend a ton of one on one time with them! Depending on your needs and comfortability, I am more that happy to stay over night to keep your animals company, I can come back next morning, or they may stay at my house.

Information Kelsi S. would like to know about your pet

I think it is imperative to know a few things: 1. What does your dog like to do? 2. What is their feeding schedule? Are treats allowed? 3. What is their potty routine like? EX: They go 3 times a day like clockwork, they get nervous for the first day or so and have trouble going, they will let you know when they want to go out etc. 3. Do they have any special needs, allergies, or quirks I need to know about? 4. How is your pup in public? Are they allowed in dog parks? Do they have anxiety or are the testy with other animals? 5. What are their commands? Are they working on training? Please feel free to add anything else. The more I know about your home/ animals, the better I can take care of them!

A typical day

Just like people, animals like and dislike different things! I am interested in what YOUR animal/s like! Do your pups want to go on walks or would the rather go to the beach and swim? Is fetch or tug of war their game? Is your cat super lazy but really likes to cuddle? Or is your cat the adventurous type with a stroller? As far as entertaining goes, I tailor what we do based on your animals pawferences (that was a stretch).

Pets

Hello, it’s me you’re looking for!

Pet care experience

I’m 26 years into caring for animals and I plan to be doing it for at least 26 more! I have had animals all my life. Growing up, our family revolved around them. They weren’t pets, they were siblings! I have done rover in Hawaii for a few years (see reviews) and have recently relocated to the area. I will treat your animals as if they were my own. I can and have done MANY overnights, weekly watches, and sits. All have included: walks, dog parks, cuddles, treats, sticking with their schedule/ routines, some administering medication— you name it, I’ve probably done it! Some background: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, snakes, geckos, and even a chinchilla! I’m very good about updates with your home and pet! Who doesn’t love a good pet photo session? And I know you want a nice, clean home to get back to, without any worries. I can and will provide that! Throughout the years I have I nannied, house sat, and watched pets consistently (11 years I have charged for this service). There’s no one more dependable, trustworthy, and loving out there. My goal is to always leave things better than how I received them and I’m so excited to apply that to you, your home, and your furry family.

Kelsi is amazing. She took such good care of our dogs and our house and truly went above and beyond. She loved on our pups and made accommodations for them so they would feel at home.
