Safety, trust & environment
During our meet and greet, we can discuss all the ins and outs of your pets needs! Depending on the service, how I care for your pet in your home is variable. Dog walking includes 25 minutes outside, and 5 minutes inside for a little time to refresh their water, and playtime, or cuddle time, depending on what your dog is feeling! Cat visits inside, I tend to go by what one communicates during our meet and greet. Usually it will include cuddles, water refresh, and/or playtime. I will always take my shoes off, and double check to see if I locked your door correctly! :)
Information Kelso A. would like to know about your pet
Before spending time with your pet, I would like to know of their general behavior around new people, new animals, any allergies or health concerns they may have, if they are friendly around other pets, any negative triggers, and what they spend most of their time doing on a typical day! I do not have any breed preferences, age, or size restrictions!
A typical day
I will give all the good pets, belly rubs, and be more than happy to receive some good face licks or purrs back : )

11 Years of Trusted Pet Care
Pet care experience
Your pets deserve more than just a sitter; they deserve someone who genuinely loves them. I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals, and for more than a decade I’ve turned that passion into a profession as a dog walker and cat sitter, while volunteering at local shelters along the way. I’ve cared for every personality under the sun including the shy ones, the wild ones, the velcro dogs, the aloof cats, and I love them all. What sets me apart? I treat every pet like my own. Not as a catchphrase, but as a promise. Accommodating each pet’s individual needs comes naturally to me, and every animal I care for gets the same love and attention I’d give my own. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, you’ve found them. I hope to meet your pet very soon!

Reviews
Kelso A. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Kelso made me feel at ease while watching my chihuahua, Selena, while I was out of town. I was very nervous having someone new come in that I didn’t know seeing as my ex always watched my dog for me in the past. This was my first time hiring someone. She gave me updates with pictures and videos that I loved! Great communication throughout the stay. Selena enjoyed her company as well and I will definitely use her in the future as long as she is available! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone I know looking for a sitter. Thanks kelso!
Kelso was great with our dog, Arlo! He takes a minute to warm up and Kelso was so sweet with him!
Kelso was absolutely incredible taking care of my doggo child who can be a handful, I completely felt at ease with my dog son in her care! She kindly gave me updates, pics, video, and even got him his first pup cup which he loved! She administered his AM & PM meds without missing any, gave him his special meals, and was able to handle his dog reactivity on walks & keep my boy safe & other dogs safe as well. Cookie was even sad to see her go as he made a new bff, and he’s a picky lil guy. She’s super easy going and down to earth, I will definitely be rebooking the next time I need a doggo sitter & will be recommending for any friends who need dog sitters too!! 🙏🙌👌💖💖💖💖💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🐶☺️🤩
