Meet Kelsea

Hey there! I’m Kelsea — a lifelong animal lover, marketing professional, and part-time photographer who recently relocated to Seattle from the NYC/Connecticut area.

For the past 15 years, I’ve built my career in marketing and advertising while pursuing creative work on the side. As I get settled in Seattle and explore different neighborhoods, I’m offering pet and home care for local residents.

Pet sitting has been one of my favorite side gigs — it gives me the chance to spend time with animals (aka the best roommates ever) and helps someone out while they’re away, giving them peace of mind.

I’m responsible, communicative, and tidy, with my own car for easy travel to your home. Whether you need someone to keep your pets company while you’re away or look after your home, I treat every space and furry friend as if they were my own.

Let’s connect — I’d love to help make your time away worry-free!

Praise from Pet Parents

  • “From our first Zoom meeting, Kelsea was warm, enthusiastic and organized. Kelsea was using the 3 week sit at our home as a landing pad for a cross- country move and we could not be more pleased to be her host! She communicated with us several times before arriving and was able to meet us for an in person walk through the day before. During the sit Luna had a few minor tummy issues and was sensative to loud noises (fireworks). Kelsea did a great job or reaching out with questions, asking for guidance and at the same time presenting a a confident caretaker for Luna making us feel calm, knowing that Luna was in good hands. With our permission, Kelsea also took Luna for a couple of hikes and sent us photos! We arrived home to a clean and tidy home. We highly recommend Kelsea and now that she's here in the PNW, hope that we'll get to have her sit again or even go for a stroll around [the park]! Welcome to you[r] new home, Kelsea!”

    - Ed & Lisa, Pet parents to Luna 🦮

  • “Kelsea is extremely reliable and professional. She watch my two senior kitties and I could tell she really cared about them. One of my boys (Tank) is on the spicier side and even he was a fan (that says a lot)! I would recommend her to anyone that need a house/pet sitter.”

    - Katy, pet parent to Jinx and Tank 😻😻

  • “Kelsea was a wonderful sitter, and took fabulous care of my two kitties as well as my house. The plants were watered, the house was clean, and the cats enjoyed her loving company! I would love to have Kelsea stay at my home with my munchkins again in the future!“

    - Jorie, pet parent to Katy and Dallas 😻😻

First, I’ll have you submit a request for pet care via the form below, and then we’ll schedule a pre-meet me via phone, FaceTime / Zoom or in-person meeting so we can get to know each other and make sure you and your pet(s) are comfortable with me (and vice versa). If we agree we’re a match, we’ll (re)confirm the dates and align on the time for my arrival and departure. During the stay, I’ll keep you informed of your pets well-being with pictures and updates.
