Safety, trust & environment

I have lots of animal experience and am comfortable with many types of animals and their temperaments. Working at the vet taught me how to gain the trust and comfort anxious animals. I’m well versed in animal body language and know when not to push their limits.

A typical day

I love to go on walks! I enjoy playing fetch and tug of war with dogs too! I have cared for a variety of dogs with different energy levels, so I am good at determining the correct activities they need.

Lots of animal experience!

Pet care experience

I have had pets such as reptiles, horses, cats, dogs, chickens, and rabbits my whole life, so I’m familiar with lots of animals! I worked as a veterinary assistant at a local animal hospital for 1.5 years and was a kennel assistant for 2 years. I have taken care of and administered medication to animals of many different levels of care. I’m currently working as a fine gardener and would be happy to look after plants as well!

Kelsie is always so reliable and professional! Really great with our very senior kitty that requires medication and lots of attention.

Kelsie was marvelous and our cat loved spending time with her. We appreciated her flexibility when our plans kept changing and that she came for a previsit. She also took the time to ask us about his veterinarian in case of emergency. Will call on Kelsie again!

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.
