My dog is what love looks like.

Pet care experience

I've been dog-sitting since my teenage years but took on the role more regularly to make money in college (and bank a few extra puppy snuggles since we couldn’t have on-campus pets). After moving to Charlotte post-college I was able to establish several great relationships with cute pooches and their parents. Since relocating back to CT I'm looking to add some more furry friends for me and my dog Chester McFly. Currently, I work my full-time job at night so my days are free to care for your four-legged friends. I have plenty of experience with puppies and dogs of all ages and sitting for as many as four dogs at a time so there isn’t really a situation I can’t handle. My dog is the most important part of my life and I understand the feelings that come along with entrusting your best friend to someone else. I can promise you that I will give your dog the same type of love and attention that I give my very own!

Kelly is THE BEST DOG SITTER EVER! She watched our two corgis from when they were pups until she moved away (and we all cried about it). We would hire Kelly to come stay at our house with our dogs while we were out of town, which was almost monthly for about 2 years. Kelly was always on time, took great care of the dogs and our house, would send pictures and updates, and we would come home to happy, tired pups. She always abided by the notes we left for the dogs, was respectful of our home, and loved the pups like her own. We allowed her to bring her dog Chester with her, and he became our dogs best friend too!

Kelly was my favorite dog sitter of all time. I can't say enough great things about her. I was so sad when she told me she was moving. (still haven't found anyone as good since) I've had many dog sitters throughout the years, but none that were as caring as Kelly. Kelly starting sitting for me when I first got my dog, Foxy. So as a first time pet owner I was very apprehensive in general of who I would leave her with. But after getting to know Kelly and seeing how much she genuinely cared for my dog, I was put at ease immediately. Kelly isn't the kind of person who is just going to walk your dog for two seconds and leave. She spends time with the dogs she sits for, loves them, and really cares for them. I would get updates all the time and pictures of my baby. Even the occasional "see Foxy is so relaxed she is actually taking a poop for me" text...if you have a nervous dog you know what I mean ;) When Kelly would sit for Foxy she would stay at my house. My dog gets very sad when I go away, and I didn't want to make her feel even more out of sorts by putting her in a kennel or leaving her alone at night (both of which would have made her miserable) So Kelly stayed at my place to watch Foxy. This made it easier on me and Foxy knowing that she was in an environment she was used to. Kelly is just flat out awesome, completely trustworthy, and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. You will feel at ease knowing that your pup is in her care.

Kelly is an excellent sitter and friend to my little Cody. She watches Cody almost every time I go out of town for business (roughly 2 or 3 times a week). I love when Kelly stays at my house because I never have to worry about how my little guy is doing. I'm a bit of a helicopter parent but Kelly is always sending my pictures of my pup, even in the 1st person like he's talking! She's very flexible with her schedule and is really there whenever I need her! I cannot recommend anyone more highly, I can only hope that Kelly's new business doesn't take her away from Cody!

Information Kelly M. would like to know about your pet

All I need to know about your dog is whatever you think I need to know to make him/her feel right at home with me. Whether that is treats they enjoy, games they like to play or walks they enjoy taking, I’m here to be their temporary best friend while you’re away. I don't have any preferences about breed, I'm a fan of all dogs!

A typical day

I have a puggle named Chester who enjoys nothing more than snuggling, sleeping and dreaming of the next time he gets fed. I've been trying to make him a play dog for months but he's just not into it. That's great for your dog though because it means I’m always fully energized and willing to play endless games of fetch. I know how important routine can be for a pet so if there is a specific walk he/she likes to take or certain bushes they fancy for doing their buisness, just let me know and I’ll make sure we hit up all the hot spots. As a puppy parent myself I understand the constant need to confirm my baby is happy and healthy so I'll text pictures and updates as often as you'd like!
