Availability

I’m currently on a break from work and have time to care of your dog. I’m flexible and have lots of time. I can also work with shorter drop ins. The fee that I mention is up to 8 hours, I’m also happy to work with shorter time frames and adjust the price based on this. The minimum amount would be $40 for up to 4 hours (half day).

Information Kelly B. would like to know about your pet

Does the dog have behavioral problems? Specific diet? Is it good on a leash? Anything else I should know? I am very attentive and observant, and can read a dog pretty well when I meet them, but I do need some information that only their person can communicate. Please tell me all about your dog's medical needs (I am experienced at giving meds), allergies, and any potential behavioral triggers so that I can make our stay as safe and happy as possible. I am comfortable working with senior dogs and dogs that have medical issues. Communication is key!

A typical day

Drop off your dog in the morning. I will provide a secure, fenced yard for them to play in until your return. My husband and 1 year-old daughter will be home with our dog (Daisy) and cat (Bernice). We have some dog toys available and are open to walking during the day. One 30 minute walk is included in the doggy day care price and additional walks can be added for an additional fee. My home is secure, clean, and puppy-proof.

Pets

Attentive & Active Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Does your dog love to get out on the trail or to a local dog beach but you just don't have the time? Hi, I'm Kelly! I am an enthusiastic and widely experienced pet sitter. My other work is freelance and I am available for you and your pet 99.9% of the time. I love running and playing with active pups, and cuddling mellower ones. Regardless of activity level, all animals in my care receive the same level of attentive and reliable care. Let me tire out your pup so that you come home to a calm and happy pup after a day at work or weekend relaxing. For fifteen years, I've dog sat, housesat, and developed activities to stimulate and engage pups of all energy levels. I have also cared for dogs with special needs, including diabetes, thyroid conditions, and other chronic ailments that require strict dietary restrictions and schedules to maintain optimal health. As an avid hiker and cyclist, I have the calm but active and enthusiastic demeanor to cater to your furry friend. Each walk takes into account how long we have to meet your dog's needs in the best way possible: whether it's a solid hour of fetch or a hike in the mountains. If your dog likes company, I can even bring my dog along so that your pup has a playmate! All walks, visits, and overnight stays reinforce all the rules and schedules provided by YOU, so that when you return your pup is as happy and relaxed as you are! Your pet is your family--and they're my family too! Boarding/dog daycare is ideal if your dog loves other dogs and wants to play for a lot of the day, I have a one year old golden labradoodle named Daisy who is super sweet and loves to have doggie friends come for a visit. She plays chase, fetch, and shares toys with puppy friends that come to play. We also have a cat who tolerates dogs and can be separated if your dog isn't cat friendly.

Kelly was awesome! Sent lots of cute pics during our time away, and we came home to happy pets and a tidy house. We’d love to hire Kelly to hang with our pets again!

Kelly has taken care of our two dogs a couple of times now. We got a sense right away that she was an "animal person" and that our pups would be sensitively cared for. She also has been very responsible and respectful of our home. We are booking her again for our summer vacation.

Once again, Kelly took great care of our rescue dog. We came home to a calm and snuggly pooch. Thanks Kelly!

We felt like our two pups were in great hands with Kelly. One of our dogs is pretty anxious, and Kelly worked with her with compassion and ease. She asked the right questions at the interview, making us feel like our dogs were in good hands. We also came home to a clean house, which is much appreciated. We will definitely ask her if she is available again.
