Kelsey at golden hour on a rocky beach, holding her book The Silent Revolution

Kelsey Elizabeth Jaronik · Long Beach, California

I walk dogs, love cats,
write books, look for magic,
follow the light —
and help others remember theirs.

I'm a Lightworker with a Leash and the author of the Second Cloud Collection. This is one world — animals, healing, mental health, magic, and the slow work of coming home to your own light.

The Chronological Weave

A life, told in the order it taught me

Trust is not given through credentials. It is earned through honesty and lived experience. This is the honest shape of my life — the struggle, the experience, and the light I learned was still there all along.

Getting my love from puppies since 1981

An animal never asks you to be anyone but exactly who you are in this moment.

Healing is not something I studied. It is something I have practiced, most of my life.

Animals were the first to reflect my light back to me — even when I couldn't see it myself.

Functioning and living are not the same thing.

Free from opioids — still learning how to live.

Learn out loud. Share what you find. Keep asking better questions.

I wasn't brainwashing myself. I was reprogramming.

I don't share these tools from the other side of the work. I use them with you.

KLouWags · Long Beach, CA · Since 2009

Dog walking & cat sitting

KLouWags is my Long Beach, California pet-care business, established in 2009 — seventeen years of hands-on, on-leash, in-the-sun work with animals. Today I offer scheduled dog walking and drop-in cat sitting and cat visits, plus simple home check-ins while you're away.

  • Dog walking
  • Drop-in cat sitting & cat visits
  • Home check-ins — mail, watering plants
  • Puppies, seniors & anxious animals

No overnight pet sitting. No boarding. Not housekeeping or full house-sitting — just dependable, loving care while you're away.

Roll Call

Every face, every wag, every purr

Meet some of the sweet souls I'm lucky enough to walk, visit, and love on daily. Take a scroll, say hi, and let their cute faces be a little glimmer in your day — raising your frequency one adorable face at a time.

The Heart

What is your Second Cloud?

Your Second Cloud is your soul — the truest, brightest part of you. Underneath the conditioning, fear, old stories, pain, and expectations we accumulate through life, there is still a core self, a light. The books invite you to uncover it, reconnect with it, and discover what was there all along: you are the Second Cloud. And when you unlock your own light, you give others permission to find theirs.

Energy is everything

What we carry, we become. What we tend, we grow. Every thought, breath, and touch moves the field we live in.

We each have our own light

No one can illuminate it for you, and no one can extinguish it. The work is simply to stop hiding it from yourself.

Healing is possible

Not as a destination, but as a direction. I am proof, and so are the animals who have walked beside me.

We are all one

Human and animal, wound and wisdom, you and me. The separation was always the illusion.

Kelsey with her dog — the Lightworker with a Leash

One light, rippling outward

When you unlock your own light, you give others permission to find theirs.

Your light is how we change humanity.

The Second Cloud Collection

Books to guide you back to your light

Your Second Cloud is your soul — the truest, brightest part of you. These are invitations to self-discovery and reflection, not instructions on what to believe. Take what helps. Leave the rest.

“Hi my name is Hiccup and I am a 20lb black and white miniature schnauzer. Ms. Kesley is my bestest friend and I’ve known her almost my whole life! I met her when I first moved to California and we connected instantly. We have had 11 years of adventures, walkies, belly rubs and solved all the problems in the universe. I trust Ms. Kelsey with my whole heart. Don’t tell anyone but she once confessed to me she was mostly dog too but in a human suit. Anyway you’d be so lucky if you had a friend like Ms. Kelsey. Ans I’ll be smelling you later. P.s. my mom said to tell everyone she is a helicopter mom and would only trust her precious son (that’s me!) to Ms. Kelsey.”

“Kelsey is amazing! She is dependable, kind and patient, and gives our 15 year-old Blake all the love in the world. He is a tough pup to handle (he is aggressive with strangers). She was graceful and patient with him and earned his trust quickly. Now he will run to her, especially when she has a treat in hand! We feel so fortunate that Kelsey is part of his life. She also introduced her Brave Butter to us and it has made a noticeable difference in his quality of life. We highly, highly recommend her for your furry friends!!”

— Adrienne, KLouWags Pet Care
★★★★★

“Kelsey is honestly so amazing. She has saved our sanity at two different times, once when we got a puppy and then again when we had a baby. She is so sweet and kind to our dogs. She also beautifully understands each of our dogs needs; she plays with our high energy dog and is very gentle with our anxious dog. Working with Kelsey is a no brainer! 10000/10.”

— Chelsea, KLouWags Pet Care

“We are Cody and Connor. Kelsey took great care of us while our dad’s were away. She spent lots of time with us and gave us lots of love. She was great. Can’t wait to see her again!”

— Richard and Josh, KLouWags
★★★★★

“Kelsey has been taking our dog for walks for about a year now and has been phenomenal! I moved to a new part of town and it took a while for our dog to get adjusted to the new home and he was having some separation anxiety when we would leave for longer periods of time on the weekends. I ran into Kelsey by chance on 2nd street and just finished praying about needing a dog walker for our dog, and not even one minute later did I happen to run into Kelsey who just finished her dog walks for the day in my neighborhood. She handed me a business card and the rest is history. Kelsey has been very flexible with our schedule and comes to our home right on time to take our dog out and care for him. We actually ran into multiple people in the neighborhood who mentioned to us "Your dog walker REALLY loves your dog!" It brought us great joy to know that Bugsy was well cared for. Kelsey is also very trustworthy as we have given her access to our home while we are away and have never had any issues. She's very kind and loves our dog. Anytime we mention it's a Kelsey day, Bugsy's ears perk up and his little tail starts to wag. He really loves her and we are also incredibly appreciative of her professionalism, flexibility, and top-notch care for our fur baby. Thank you, Kelsey!”

— Scceja, KLouWags Pet Care
★★★★★

“Kelsey does a great job tending to my sweet senior girl Addie. She gives her lots of love and attention when I can’t be there. She always shows up on time and sends me an update on how things went. Would highly recommend Kelsey for your baby!”

“This stuff is simply amazing. My dog is so afraid of fireworks and this product calms him right down and helps him get through the Fourth of July very easily. I take it myself for my aches and pains, and it helps me sleep better.”

— Peter Bagoye, Brave Butter
★★★★★

“I have 3 puppies Bacon, Hamm and Seabass. Hamm and Bacon are Westies. Hamm has been dealing with skin allergies. I purchased my first Brave butter after I shared the hard time we were hair with Hamm’s allergies. I gifted this brave Butter and I noticed his skin was healing. We noticed his skin was healing little by little. We couldn’t happier with this amazing product. Thank you so much for creating these awesome products.”

— Alex Diaz, KLouWags
★★★★★

“Kelsey- Is awesome!!! I have the three puppies!! All very different they are all terriers. They absolutely love her and know when she’s coming. They greet with love and hugs. We know this because Hamm isn’t the dog that wants to held but he lets her her hugs and kisses. Bacon is head strong and loves to touched an hugged and oour rescues Seabass well he never really knew love and how to express it. He shows her love and is because he trust her and we trust her. We love the attention to detail and how much she cares for my boys. Always willing to pivot when needed. We are so happy with her.”

“Koji was already a senior by the time we found Kelsey, and I wish we had found her years earlier! She took amazing care of him when I had to go out of town and her brave butter helped tremendously with his arthritis pain and the anxiety he had as he became more frail. I wouldn’t have trusted Koji with anyone else! I live in Arizona now, and not having Kelsey here for my new dog Whiskey is so sad.”

— Sonnjea Blackwell, KLouWags Pet Care
★★★★★

“There are no words for how amazing Kelsey is… Dobby and Bella love her so much (even though Dobby tries to play cool about it)… and the most important thing for me is that SHE loves them so much… I could never trust anyone who didn’t love my babies that much to take care of them… she always says “YES” - even when it’s last minute… not sure what I would do without her 💜”

Connected Hearts & Paws

Raise their frequency. Raise yours.

Because we’re all connected.

Seven simple practices for intentionally connecting with animals, nature, and yourself. These are invitations based on my own personal practices and beliefs — not medical, scientific, or veterinary claims.

Heart to Heart

Place one hand over your heart and, if your animal is comfortable with touch, gently place your other hand near or over their heart. Look into their eyes and take a quiet moment together.

“Our love ignites each other’s love and helps it grow. You are safe. You are loved. We are connected.”

Tell Them Who They Are

Animals hear our energy as much as our words. Get excited about them. Tell them they’re beautiful. Tell them they’re a good boy, good girl, good baby, or whatever loving words are natural to you.

“You are beautiful. You are loved. You are safe. I’m so happy you’re here.”

Let their joy raise yours — and yours raise theirs.

Greet the Animals Around You

Connection doesn’t stop with the animals who live with us. Notice the bird on your walk, the squirrel in the tree, the bee visiting a flower, the butterfly passing by, or even a moon jelly floating through the water. Say hello. Acknowledge them.

“Hey, buddy. May you have enough food, shelter, and love today. May you always be protected. Thank you for everything you bring to this world.”

Walk With Intention

Turn an ordinary dog walk into a few minutes of connection. Put the phone away when you can. Notice what your animal notices. Feel the air. Look at the trees. Listen to the birds. Let them sniff.

For a little while, there is nowhere else either of you needs to be.

Connect Through Nature

Stand near the ocean, a lake, river, tree, garden, or another piece of nature that makes you feel grounded. If your animal is with you, share the moment together.

“Thank you for holding us. We are connected. May we flow together. May our energy add a little more love and light to this world.”

Love Through Touch & Presence

When an animal welcomes affection, slow down and really be there for it. Hug them, kiss them, scratch their favorite spot, sit beside them, or simply let them rest against you.

“You’re safe with me. You’re loved. You matter. I’m right here.”

Sometimes raising the energy of a moment is simply making another living being feel deeply loved.

End With Gratitude

Take a moment to thank your animal — or any animal who crossed your path that day. Ask yourself: “What did this animal give me today?” Maybe it was laughter. Comfort. Movement. Patience. Presence. Companionship. Or simply a reminder to stop and notice the world.

Then send some of that love back.

We raise one another. We heal beside one another. We remind one another to be present. And through love, we remember that we’re all connected.
