Pet care experience

I have owned multiple dogs for my entire life. My first jobs in middle school were always house and pet sitting. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, so I am very comfortable in any situation. I am open to any special requests that you may have for your dog to make his/her experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I'm happy to schedule meet and greets with you and your dogs! My Boston Terrier, Luke, is my best friend and he gets the star treatment of long walks, treats, couch lounging, and snuggling. I would give the same to your friend! Luke is energetic and friendly so your dog will always have a playmate. My boyfriend, Eric, lives with me and is my right-hand man when it comes to dog sitting! He loves them as much as I do and supports me letting them run the house. He's a key part of helping me manage dog introduction and build a friendship between Luke and our visitors. We are truly a dynamic duo and will make sure that your pup stays safe, healthy, happy, and loved! I am athletic and love to be outside so if your dog would like a run or a game of fetch, I can make that happen. I live right down the street from the Shirlington Dog Park and would be happy to take your dog, if that's something you are comfortable with. If dog parks aren't your thing, I live in The Arlington (a large, dog friendly complex of townhouses) , which is a mile walk from Shirlington, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for long leashed walks and exploration of grassy areas. If you'd rather me stay at your house because it's easier for you and your furry friend, I'm happy to do that as well! My schedule is pretty flexible and I don't really need to be home for anything other than Luke. If I can bring him, that'd be fabulous but if not, I can generally find someone look after him in my absence.

Very responsive and professional! My pup was well cared for and happy, they even took him to the dog park. They were very friendly and flexible with our schedule as well. We will be using their services again for our pup!

Kelsey and Eric were great!! We went abroad for a week and a half and were nervous to leave our pups because they have separation anxiety. But, they were in good hands while we were gone. Infact, we think they miss Kelsey and Eric. Thanks guys!

Kelsy watched our 2 pups while my husband and I got married in Mexico. She were so great at taking care of the dogs and made us feel so secure about leaving them and being out of the country. We got regular updates and pictures. Will definitely use Kelsy again and would recommend her!

Kelsy and Eric took amazing care of Cooper! They treated him as if he were their own and I couldn't be more grateful. Cooper had a blast playing with Luke and I will definitely reach out to Kelsy in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Cooper! I would highly recommend Kelsy and Eric to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Information Kelsy C. would like to know about your pet

1) Is your dog crate trained? 2) How long can he/she be comfortably left at home alone? 3) Is your dog prone to chewing? 4) Does your dog bark when left home alone? (NOTE: PLEASE ANSWER HONESTLY. I live in a condo. My neighbors do not react well when I host a dog that barks, especially when I leave in the morning, and I am the recipient of the consequences for that. If your dog barks when you leave or when crated, my home is not a good fit. However, I would be happy to watch your pup in your home so that everyone is happy and comfortable!) 5) Does your dog have separation anxiety? 6) Would your dog be okay to be brought to the dog park? 7) How is your dog with other dogs? 8) How is your dog with children?

A typical day

To name a few: walks, runs, dog park, fetch, lounging, treats, sitting outside on my patio.
