Kelsey S. Pet Care Provider in New York, NY 10280

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I’m 29 and work as a Registered Nurse in NYC. Growing up, not only did I have an amazing dachshund, Barkley (who lived to 20 years old!), but I also had a farm and have experience caring for many animals including chickens, horses, cats, and goats!

I rescued my dog, Maddie, 2 years ago and I am OBSESSED with her. She is a 5 year old English Bulldog mix and is ridiculously amazing. Before I rescued her she was abused and used as a breeding dog, so she came to me with lots of health issues and extreme anxiety. I am happy to say she is thriving and has overcome so much. Part of Maddie’s anxiety involves interactions with other dogs. I am working with a trainer (and also studying to become one myself) to help with this, but for that reason I am not boarding pets at my home but will come to yours. Luckily, my partner is a student and has lots of time to watch her while I am away taking care of other amazing animals.

Over the years, friends and family have entrusted their precious pets in my care because they trusted my abilities and knew that I would treat their pets as I would my own. Spending my days with any animal is the ultimate job. As a pet lover myself I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. I want to provide you with peace of mind that your pet is in the best care, as I always want that for myself!

I have been a nurse for humans for 8 years, so I am extensively trained in medication administration and life-saving techniques. After rescuing Maddie I decided that I should also be certified in animal 1st aid and CPR. I am now certified and highly recommend it to everyone!

Side note: I am also a fantasist photographer since having Maddie, or she’s just a fantastic model, but will take as many pictures of your pet for you as you’d like!
