About Me
My name is Kelsey Mathouser. I have had this business since 2011 but I have been pet sitting for much longer for neighbors and friends. I am 27 years old. I have been living in New Hampshire since I was three years old, which is also the same age that I started riding. I started riding under Kim Meyer from Star Lit Hollow farm. I have competed and participated in 4H since I was young. I went to Exeter high school. I attended the Seacoast School of Technology, where I studied animal and plant science and got my certification of completion. I was a part of FFA (Future Farmers of America). I was one of the chapter officers. I participated in leadership seminars. I studied Liberal arts at Great Bay community college for two years. I worked as a dog groomer for a year out of a small business in Exeter. I went to Oklahoma horse shoeing school where I got certified in barefoot trims. I also worked as a groomer and kennel staff at Continental Boarding, a huge dog boarding and play facility in North Carolina.

My name is Karolina Gilmore, but most people call me Karly. I am 21 and have lived in Exeter my entire life. My mom has always owned Standardbred racehorses as a partnership with my uncle. He has a large horse farm in Exeter that I spent most of my childhood at. My mom started me with riding lessons when I was 5. By the time I was 8, she bought me my own horse. I spent my childhood years learning various disciplines and showing in 4-H all over NH. I ventured out into the hunter jumper world when I was 16 and also showed in eventing. I have always owned my own horses and have taken complete care and responsibility for them myself. I have always had my own dog and cats as well. I grew up around various farm animals and pets and have always had a soft spot for any animal. In high school I went to the Seacoast School of Technology's animal and plant sciences program for 2 years. Through that class, I competed in the FFA both locally and Nationally for 3 years. I have spent the last 6 years taking care of 2 horse and 2 miniature donkeys for a client in Kensington. I also have worked off and on at Yorkfield Farm for Jessica Elliot as a fill in barn worker. I also work Fri-Sun as a CNC machine operator at Sig Sauer. I currently have one older horse, a two year old pit mix, and two cats.
