Meet Kelsey — Owner of Sunny Spot Pet Care, Registered Veterinary Technician & Professional Pet Sitter
I bring a deeply rooted background in veterinary medicine, professional pet sitting, and animal care, along with a calm, attentive presence that animals naturally respond to. As a Registered Veterinary Technician with 7+ years of hands-on experience in clinical and home care settings, I’ve worked in urgent care, mobile veterinary services, and held leadership roles within a high-volume cat rescue.
Throughout my career, I’ve supported animals through every stage of life—from routine wellness visits and client education to surgical support, neonatal care, senior pet support, and end-of-life care. My experience has given me a strong foundation in fear-free handling, patient observation, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health, allowing me to respond thoughtfully and proactively to each pet’s individual needs.
In addition to my medical training, I’m certified in Animal Reiki Level 1: Let Animals Lead®, a gentle, presence-based practice that honors each animal’s comfort and agency. This approach helps create a calm, grounded environment during visits and allows animals to engage on their own terms.
Above all, I believe every pet deserves to be treated as an individual. Whether that means offering quiet companionship to a sensitive cat, keeping a playful dog engaged and fulfilled, or maintaining a steady routine for a senior companion, I approach each visit with patience, respect, and genuine care.
My goal is to provide experienced, compassionate care that gives you peace of mind and helps your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in the place they know best—home.
When I’m not caring for pets, you’ll often find me exploring all that Denver has to offer. Originally from Indiana, I now proudly call the Baker neighborhood home and enjoy being an active part of the community. I serve on the Baker Historic Neighborhood Association Event Committee, where I help bring neighbors together and support local events.
In my free time, I love discovering new restaurants, trying local Colorado beers, and spending quality time with my own crew of cats. Being part of the Baker community and building connections with fellow pet lovers is one of the things I enjoy most about living in Denver.
Meet the Home Team
Behind Sunny Spot Pet Care is a very important feline support staff! Kelsey’s home team includes her own beloved cats, each with their own unique personalities, quirks, and stories. Living alongside senior pets, special needs cats, and rescue animals has deepened her understanding of compassionate, individualized care and the importance of helping every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
Finnegan
He’s an 8-year-old foster fail who came to the shelter where I worked as a tiny kitten. He is blind and has cerebellar hypoplasia, which gives him the sweetest wobbly little bounce whenever he gets excited.
RowBoat
A 5-year-old tripod with an adventurous spirit and a joyful outlook on life. He loves exploring his surroundings at his own pace and soaking up the sunshine from his favorite spot in the catio.
Tuna Fish
An 11-year-old queen of the castle who carries herself with quiet grace. She can be shy at first, taking her time to warm up, but once she trusts you, she’s a loyal friend for life.
Walter
A 15-year-old with a heart of gold and a deep love for cuddles. He enjoys meeting new people and soaking up affection, bringing a gentle, sweet presence to everyone he meets.
