Pet care experience
*Independently Insured by PCI* Hello! I am Kelly, living in the Quincy area! I was in IT in the Biotech industry, but was recently laid off. Currently taking a long break to do things what I’ve always loved doing, being with pups and kitties!! I've been around dogs and cats my whole life and I have over 8 years of experience with my own dogs (7 with my cat). I've also had pet hamsters, rabbit, and ducks growing up! Animals truly make me happy! I have also been working with a balanced trainer with my dogs for 3 years now. I have 2 Shibas of my own + a tabby cat! My home in Quincy comes with a good-sized fenced yard where dogs can play and enjoy the sun. I avoid dog parks for safety reasons. For shy or reactive pups, I prefer quiet neighborhood walks or hikes at scenic spots like Blue Hills, the beach, or Castle Island (weather permitted).
Reviews
Repeat booking. Kelly is wonderful and very communicative while pet sitting. My normally very standoffish cat likes her better than me lol.
The dogs love Kelly and she does a great job of sending fun, informative updates with cute pictures!
Kelly was great!! It was so nice knowing Freddy had some company while we had a late night out. She was super responsive and would 10/10 book again! Thank you so much Kelly!!
Kelly is amazing. You can stop looking for any other pet provider now. You've come across the profile of the absolute best. Kelly helped my three fur friends for a week while I was traveling. She handled some situational difficulties like an absolute pro. I immediately gained piece of mind while I was away from my pets.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and happiness are my priority. I have a spacious fenced in yard where your pup can frolic and enjoy a secure environment for playtime. Your pup will receive continuous supervision. While my own dogs are accustomed to crate training and are crated during brief periods when I can't be present (such as cooking, bathing, eating, or running errands), I understand not all dogs prefer crates. In such cases, I have an extra room in my home dedicated for the pups!
Information Kelly L. would like to know about your pet

A typical day
We will go on walks around the neighborhood! We can also play in our fenced in yard, with my dogs, playing fetch or tug We can also do some basic training to exercise the mind (down stays, place, crate training, door manners, etc) Please note, I am not a professional trainer. Happy to refer you to a trainer I trust if interested! I provide at least 1 hr of exercise for the dogs (a combination of play, lick mats, fetch, walks, interactive toys, training)

Availability
I believe in structure, because dogs thrive on predictability! It reduces anxiety and builds confidence in dogs. Please let me know your pup's routine and I will stick to it. I carefully schedule appointments when I have ample availability throughout the week, allowing me to give your pups the attention they deserve!
