21+ years loving/caring for pets!
Pet care experience
I was a veterinary assistant for more than seven years and have been grooming cats and dogs, professionally, for fifteen years. I've dedicated my life to caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I'm comfortable with cats and dogs of all ages, as well as: fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, reptiles, and some exotics. I am capable in administering medications and am very detailed oriented. I feel that it's much more beneficial, when applicable, for pets to stay in the comfort of their own home as opposed to boarding away from home. I fully understand and appreciate the vast differences between cats and dogs and cater to each species' individual needs. I love my job so much that I often joke that I should be paying to go to work!
Reviews
Kelly was awesome! She went above and beyond to care for our kitties while we were gone!! Our house and the cats area looked fantastic and she even gave them each a little toy. I highly recommend Kelly for your pet sitting needs!
Kelly is great with Willow and Stanley. I always feel confident when I leave them that she will take good care of them . she is kind and gentle with them and She is experienced and knowledge in how to have them feel safe and loved.
Kelly is so good with Willow and Stanley and I know she loves all fur babies . Didn’t worry at all about them with Kelly.
Kelly has been an absolute blessing. She has helped me give injections to my cat over the past six weeks. She is incredibly kind, often brining a treat for Ciri, and helping me to keep my sanity by calming a very anxious kitty.

In addition to feeding your pets, disposing of their waste, playtime, and of course back scratches and belly rubs, I also offer bringing in your mail, watering plants, and curbing the garbage bin. I also offer full service in-home grooming services, ask for more details (small dogs/cats only, rabies vaccination required).
Information Kelly J. would like to know about your pet
I want to know as much as possible about your furbaby! From his/her regular likes and dislikes, to walking routines, feeding schedules, treat preferences, allergies, triggers, anything you can think of! The more I understand about your pet, the better prepared I am to care for them.
A typical day
I try to keep your pets on your schedule as much as possible, whether that means going for a walk before dinner time, or even placing their favorite toy into their kennel at bedtime. I believe that routines help calm anxiety and give them the comfort of security in knowing what to expect.
