Pet care experience
I have had a dog since coming come from the hospital. First a chow-chow and then goldens. I have been pet-sitting for friends and neighbors for years, and used to help out with golden retriever rescue and other rescue and foster groups (including for other animals). Also, throughout childhood my family helped socialize puppies for breeders, often taking care of multiple puppies at a time for about a week in our own home - my responsibility was to care for the puppies, especially at night.
Reviews
Kelly took great care of our shiba inu, Hana, while we're out of the country. Hana actually fell ill and Kelly took her to our vet and then to the hospital for needed medical attention. She kept in good communication with us throughout and it was very reassuring to us that she could handle care for Hana till we returned from our trip. Hana was bright and happy when we picked her up after almost 3 weeks.
Kelly is simply awesome. She took great care of our 1.5 years old, high-energy Golden. Working with Kelly was very pleasant. She always responds to my messages promptly, answers my questions patiently. She'd work above and beyond when there were obstacles. I deeply appreciate Kelly taking care of our Golden that helped the rest of my family having a great holiday trip. Strongly recommend!
Kelly was awesome and super sweet. My pup loved being at her house and playing with her dog Dillon. He was so happy while he was there and when we got home he slept for a day. Kelly is very good and trustworthy with your pet. Highly recommended!
Kellie is just wonderful! When we got home, other than eating us alive (they all do when you're gone), our pets were obviously well cared for. Our house was in wonderful shape. Kelly knows how to take care of a special needs dog who needed diabetic shots twice a day and a regulated feeding schedule. She cared for our house as well. We had asked her to stay the night due to our diabetic dog's feeding needs and of course by being there, the dogs were not lonely. We can't say enough about Kelly and would highly recommend her.

Information Kelly D. would like to know about your pet
I prefer friendly/non-aggressive/non-destructive dogs. Also to be informed about their reaction and behavior towards cats (that way I know if I need to separate my cat).
A typical day
I take my own dog on 4 mile hikes through nearby trails on an almost daily basis (weather permitting). Any dog I take care of is welcome to join these walks, which are able to be shortened if necessary.
