Pet care experience

Responsible, Professional, & Caring

I have been taking care of pets since I was in high school, family and friends have relied on me to watch their house and their pets in times of need. I am an animal lover at heart and am happy to provide owners peace of mind while away. I work best with a clear set of directions to follow for your pet or pets, since every animal is different and has different needs. Although I have my own pets, I will not have them in contact with your animals.

Our 2nd time having Kelsie do a home stay with our GSD, Tigger, for a week +. She took great care of our pup and home while we were away! We look forward to working with Kelsie again in the future.

Kelsie was fantastic with our dogs- very communicative, we got photos every day, and our house was spotless when we returned to happy pups. Would definitely recommend.

Kelsie takes excellent care of my dog, Allister. She has house sat for me numerous times. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and communicative. Thanks again Kelsie!

Kelsie took great care of our home and our German Shepherd, Tigger, while we were out of town for 6 days. We will be booking her again for sure. Tigger can’t wait for us to go on Vacation again!

Kelsie was so helpful for stepping in to stay with our dogs over a holiday. She was awesome with communication and seemed very comfortable with even our old dog who needs some extra support now and then. I hope to hire Kelsie again in the future!

Schedule

I currently work full time in downtown Tacoma. Since I work locally I am able to provide care on my lunch break in addition to mornings and evenings, if necessary. I am available weekends as well. Most Thursdays I work fully remote so I am available for drop in visits throughout the day!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Kelsie can host up to 1 drop-in per day
When house sitting, I love to know the specifics! For example, what time(s) to feed your pet(s), what times they usually go potty, how active they are, how well they sleep and where they sleep at night
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
