Top-quality care for your pet!

Pet care experience

Certified Veterinary Technician looking to provide top-quality care for your pet! Current CVT with both education and hands-on training with 8+ years of experience to ensure proper animal care. Looking to provide care in my loving home where your pet will get all the attention they deserve! Our home has ample space, including a fenced-in backyard, to provide plenty of room to play! I currently work partially from home and partially on-site, pending my caseload. My significant other, Rob, works remotely (from home) so providing care is usually easy to fit into our routine! We try to maintain the same schedule you do at home to ease the transition as well as reduce stress. I treat all visitors as if they were my own! I encourage you to bring their kennels and food with, along with any special treats or toys to help their stay be as stress-free as possible! ***Rob is now offering Dog walking! Check out our services page!

Kelsey and her family take such good care of our dogs that I never have to worry. Our dogs are very comfortable with them and Kelsey provides some photos and updates through the stay which is very appreciated! Thank you!

Buddha loves Kesley’s home. Our anxious boy came back nice and relaxed after a 6 night stay. He was well taken care of. Would highly recommend this sitter!

Information Kelsey H. would like to know about your pet

Please have pets up-to-date on required vaccines and recommended healthcare preventatives (ex: flea/tick prevention) if planning on having them stay with us! If pet has medical condition, please provide short medical history.

A typical day

Before any pet's stay, I prefer to schedule a "meet and greet" to make sure they seem comfortable not only in my home, but also with our pets as well as everyone who lives here. If all goes well, then their stay is booked! When any pet is here, I try to keep on schedule with their normal routine as closely as I can by trying to accommodate my schedule as best I can. Pets are usually fed in the morning between 7:00-8:00AM and then at night between 6:00-7:00PM. If on any medications, medications will be given as prescribed (If medication needs to be given with food, feeding times are rearranged accordingly.) Pets are let outside to play in the yard/taken on a walk 3-4 times a day, usually every 4-5 hours unless needed more frequently. Unless pets are normally kept in their kennel during the day, they are left out to rule the house when myself or Rob are at work for the day. Pets are never left home alone for more than 8 hours at a time. When pets stay with us, I encourage owners to bring their favorite items from home with; such as their dog bed, any toys, and of course their favorite treats! We love to spoil any pet that stays with us and make sure they feel like they're on vacation- just like their owners!
