Pet care experience
Love Beyond the Leash
I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for animals, and being around pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, and when I didn’t have one of my own, I was the person friends, family, and neighbors relied on to care for theirs. My experience includes caring for both large and small dog breeds, each with their own personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also cared for rabbits and horses and spent several summers on a farm, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and teaching me the importance of patience, consistency, and responsible care. In addition, my brother is a professional dog trainer, which has given me valuable insight into dog behavior, communication, and positive handling techniques. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve learned practical skills that help me understand dogs and create a calm, safe environment for them. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and lots of love while you’re away. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else takes trust. My goal is to treat every animal like they’re part of my own family, so you can feel confident knowing they’re in caring, dependable hands.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kersea is one of those people you can tell dogs naturally feel comfortable around. I’ve used her for doggy daycare, drop-in visits, and boarding, and what I appreciate most is that she pays attention to the little things. She notices my dog’s mood, energy level, routine, and personality and adjusts the day around what he actually needs instead of following a one-size-fits-all schedule. During daycare and boarding, my dog gets a good balance of walks, playtime, attention, and time to just relax and be comfortable. With drop-in visits, I never feel like she is just rushing in and out to complete a task. She actually spends time with him and makes sure he is settled before she leaves. The best part is how my dog reacts to her. He gets excited when he sees Kersea and is completely comfortable being left with her, which gives me more reassurance than any review or update could. She has become someone I can genuinely count on when I need care, whether it’s for a few hours, a quick visit, or an overnight stay. I would recommend her without hesitation.
Kersea was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She provided both boarding and walking services, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in her care. She was dependable, attentive, and treated my dog like her own. What really stood out to me was how personalized her care was. She took the time to learn my dog’s routine, personality, and little habits instead of treating the stay like basic boarding. She kept me updated, made sure my dog had plenty of exercise, attention, potty breaks, and downtime, and even shared pictures so I could see how comfortable and happy my dog was. I also loved that her care felt more like a home-away-from-home experience than a typical boarding service. My dog received one-on-one attention and came home relaxed and happy, which says a lot. I would definitely book with Kersea again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and genuinely personalized dog boarding or walking experience!
Kersea was great with my pup! She does boarding and training, and I always felt confident knowing he was in her care. She was attentive, patient, and made sure he was safe, healthy, and comfortable. I really appreciated how well she communicated and how much care she put into making sure he was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Kersea to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for and train their dog.

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. I’m currently pretty flexible, and starting in September, I’ll mainly be available afternoons, evenings, and weekends. My schedule can vary from time to time, but I’ll always keep my availability updated and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they need.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I try to make every pet feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to the routine they’re used to. Every dog is different, so I always ask about their schedule, personality, and any special instructions before I start caring for them. If I’m working that day, I always make sure we get a good walk in before I leave. It’s a great way for them to use the bathroom, burn off some energy, and start the day on a positive note. I usually aim for at least a 30-minute walk. When I get home, we head back outside for another potty break and walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and what they enjoy, our walk might be 30 minutes or it could turn into a longer walk around the neighborhood. Before bed, I always take them out one last time so they’re comfortable for the night. I follow whatever feeding schedule you already have in place, whether that’s in the morning, afternoon, or evening. I know pets thrive on routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like they’re my own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, affection, fresh water, and lots of love. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for—and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.
A typical day
It really depends on the pet and what they enjoy! For dogs, I love going on neighborhood walks, exploring nearby parks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or just getting outside and letting them sniff around and enjoy themselves. If they’re more laid-back, I’m just as happy hanging out, giving belly rubs, cuddling on the couch, or having some relaxed playtime at home. I like to learn each pet’s personality and what makes them happy. Some dogs could play all day, while others are perfectly content being your little shadow. Either way, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while they’re with me.
