About: Since a I little girl I have loved all sorts of animals. I have had everything from dogs, to amphibians to reptiles! though i have never personally owned a cat, their company has been something i’ve always adored when visiting family and friends. As well as, I have worked with large animal veterinarians for the last two summers learning to care medically and compassionately for all sorts of different species. I am home the majority of the time when not in classes. My classes are few and far in between with lots of time to hangout with your animals and give them the best care. As someone who has owned high maintenance reptiles, I know how to follow relaxed and strict care for all animals. Your routine will be followed accordingly and to the pets benefit!

“Kelly was terrific with my dog Hippo. He stayed overnight for several days and she took excellent care of him. She was an excellent communicator. She took him on walks and adventures, above and beyond. She even took my pet sitting request on short notice when my original Rover sitter cancelled last minute. Finding her was our lucky day! Highly recommend Kelly (and Patrick).”

About: We recently had to let our 11.5 year old Duck Toller cross the rainbow bridge. He and I started everyday at the park for leisurely off leash walks. As he aged and his heart condition progressed, these walks became shorter and slower. We experienced first-hand the delivery of daily medication and the challenges these can pose. I am retired with lots of time and would love to share my park walks with another beautiful dog. I have a car that is set up with car seat cover and lots of chuck-it balls! We have a fully fenced yard with a lovely grassy area. There is also a small “puppy pool” for warmer days. Also sometimes doubles as a giant drinking bowl. There is no other pet at the house now. He/she would have free run of the yard and inside.

About: Booking now for the Fall!! 🍂🍁 Use code COURTG92048 for 20$ off your first booking with me. I've been walking dogs and sitting for cats for years now, so I've seen it all: the zoomies, the guilt-trip stares, the dramatic sighs when dinner is two minutes late. Dogs get walks matched to their vibe. Cats get the respect they clearly believe they're owed 🐈. Meds, anxiety, quirky habits — I've handled it all and I'm not easily rattled. Basically: your pet gets a sitter who has tonnes of experience and will love them more than most. ♥️ I currently work 730-5pm schedule,Monday through Thursday. I can be free most evening and weekends to help you with your fur baby. I do drive and can take them to parks and swim spots. Same routine, same rules, same love they'd get from you. I follow your instructions to the letter, send photo updates, and pay close attention to how your pet is really doing.

About: I have always loved animals since I was a child! I worked as a volunteer dog care attendant with the SPCA for 9 years, and am certified in pet first aid. I also have a background in dog training and have dabbled in various dog sports over the years. Currently I share my home with my pit bull Atlas who LOVES all other dog friends, and my senior cat Kallie. I work from home so I'm able to be with your pet 24/7 during their stay with me! This way they don't need to be alone while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and a very social pitbull who loves to make new friends and play. I can also offer daily walks while your pup is in my care if desired!

“We needed to book a last minute trip and all the doggie daycares were booked. A friend referred us to Rover, and that’s where we found Kelly and William. We met them at a dog park to ensure our dogs got along, and they did. Our dog then spent a week with their family and had a great time. I highly recommend Kelly and William. Their dog Ziggy is super sweet, and their home is warm and cozy. We will definitely use them again in the future.”

Thank you to Gina once again! The dogs were so well cared for and seemed to relax quickly once we dropped them off. I’ve used Gina’s services 2x now, and she’s amazing with each of my dogs and their different personalities and needs. Would recommend highly! I love getting photo updates from their stay, as it reassures this momma!

David and Emma were fantastic with our dog, Stanley. He has quite a few quirky routines and specific needs, and they took excellent care of him and followed everything perfectly. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them look after Stanley again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
