Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life — I have two cats of my own and have fostered animals for years, so feeding, walking, cleaning, and giving attention is just part of my daily rhythm. I work weekdays from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., which gives me flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I love building pet care into my routine because spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routine with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and walking routines exactly as provided. I make sure pets get plenty of love, play, and calm companionship to reduce stress while their people are away. I also keep things tidy — cleaning up after pets, scooping litter, and sending regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I aim to make the experience as smooth and comforting as possible for both you and your furry family.

Information Kesley U. would like to know about your pet

I like to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs — such as dietary restrictions, medications, favorite activities, or things that may cause stress. This helps me provide care that keeps them happy, healthy, and comfortable.

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality! With dogs, that might mean walks, playtime, fetch, or gentle cuddle sessions. With cats, I enjoy interactive toys, feather wands, and cozy lap time. My goal is to keep pets happy, stimulated, and comfortable while their owners are away.

Loving & Experienced Dog Caregiver

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Kesley — a lifelong dog lover with years of experience fostering and caring for pups of all ages, especially seniors. I’ve fostered dozens of dogs over the years, many needing extra patience, medication, and gentle companionship. I know how to spot the signs of discomfort, provide a calm presence, and make your dog feel safe and loved. Whether your dog is a playful pup or a slower-moving senior, I’ll follow their routine closely and treat them like one of my own. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates so you can travel worry-free. I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles, freshwater/saltwater fish, and houseplants if you have other household needs while you’re away. 🕐 I live in downtown Ventura and work Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., in Santa Barbara, so I’m available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnights depending on your schedule. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your dog and learn how I can help!

It was our first time leaving our dog with someone we didn't know, and Kelsey was amazing. She quickly found the right approach to make our dog feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. We could tell our dog felt special and was in great hands. We highly recommend Kelsey and would happily trust her again!

Kesley was the best! She listened to any/all instructions and truly spent quality time with my pup! She made it easy to relax while away!

Kes was an excellent dog and house sitter, I highly recommend her. We have spirited, high maintenance puppies that get into all sorts of trouble, and she managed them expertly. She was communicative and provided lots of check-ins, photos and videos of how things were going. We are so grateful to her and will definitely try to book her again in the future.

Kelsey was an absolute dream! I am so glad we found her! The girls (Pia and Lucy) had an absolute blast with her. She had excellent communication and went above and beyond taking care of our home. Thank you, Kelsey! Until next time 🤍
