Nathan was good about sending photos which helped ease our worries about leaving Max! Will definitely use Nathan again when we need to board!”

“Amanda made our pup Milo feel right at home and made us completely at ease! We received plenty of pictures and updates every single day. Our pup came home super happy and tired after all the fun he had with Amanda and her dog Odie. Would highly recommend and look forward to booking in the future! :)”

About: Hi, I’m Kellie! I’ve cared for animals my whole life—from beloved family dogs to backyard chickens to barn cats. I currently have a small backyard chicken farm, a big, gentle livestock guardian dog, Mellow, and two indoor pups: Gin, a calm, senior Boxer mix, and Babs, a bouncy and hilarious 1-year-old Chihuahua mix. They’re all well trained, social, and love making new friends—Gin brings the chill energy and Babs brings the zoomies! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-ins, walks, and daycare. While I specialize in dogs at my home, I’m happy to drop in for cats or small animals too. I’ve fostered multiple dogs over the years, including rescues with special needs, seniors, and shy pups needing time to adjust. I’m patient, calm, and experienced in helping animals feel safe, secure, and loved. I also have a background in farm animal care and can handle feeding routines, medications, and animals with a variety of temperaments or quirks. Whether it's a puppy who needs structure, a senior dog who needs extra care, or a cat who prefers to be left alone—I respect their pace and their comfort. I keep a peaceful, structured routine and I work from home so your pets will have the attention they deserve. I’ll treat them like family—whether it’s belly rubs, bedtime routines, outdoor play, or quiet companionship while you’re away. Let me know how I can help you (and your pets) feel at ease while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet them! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and live on a small backyard farm. I’m up early, I take regular breaks throughout the day to care for animals, and I’m home most evenings and nights. That means your pets will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and consistency. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or overnight boarding, I’m able to keep a calm, reliable rhythm for them while you’re away. I take safety seriously—whether your pet is in my home or I’m visiting yours. At my home, pets are introduced slowly and supervised during interactions with my friendly dogs. I never leave pets unsupervised together until I know they’re fully comfortable. I maintain clean spaces, fresh water, and a structured but calm environment with lots of cuddles and quiet time. I follow feeding instructions closely and can administer oral meds if needed. In your home, I’m respectful, tidy, and detail-oriented. I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible and provide updates so you feel connected while you’re away. I treat every animal like my own—and every home with the same care I’d want for mine.

“Layne took great care of Amy! She was easy to communicate with and provided daily updates. She also seemed genuinely interested in accommodating Amy’s specific needs and tailoring her care accordingly. Glad we found her.”

“Erin was super communicative, and made us feel great about leaving Zissou with her! Zissou had so much fun running around and playing with other dogs, I would definitely leave her with Erin again. Received good photos of her and she was so happy when we left her and picked her up!”

Maris M.

“I had to leave my 5 months old dog for a week and very hesitant until I met Laura. We were able to have peaceful vacation knowing that Cookie is on good hands. I am so glad that I found a lovely family on Rover and would be able to plan for any vacation without worrying about Cookie.”

Amala N.

“Karen and her family barred for and loved on our dogs so well! She sent lots of pictures and had good communication. would definitely recommend to anyone to anyone looking and will book again!”

Kyler R.

“My first time leaving my dog with anyone and it was last a last minute family trip. When I anxiously reached out two hours after dropping Lucy off, Susanne was quick to respond with pictures and an update. It allowed me to relax and be present with my family. Lucy stayed the night and came home exhausted after playing all day. It was a great fit for my dog.”

Heather B.

“We love Chelsea! She is our go to person Everytime we travel! I know our crazy, big dog, is in good hands when we leave him with Chelsea’s family!”

Amy L.

“This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone, and I worried the entire time, but speaking with Christopher and Jennie on multiple occasions made it a lot easier. Not only were they always responding quickly to messages, they kept me updated with photos. Then I asked to extend an extra day and they were very accommodating to that! Hands down would recommend and already booked my 2nd time to use them.”

Ashley S.

“We had a fantastic experience with Payton while she watched our dog from Thursday to Monday! She was incredibly attentive and sent daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her dog was also the sweetest and they instantly became best friends. We would absolutely use her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”

Maci D.

“Awesome as always! I appreciate the updates to know Mayo is doing great! I’m sure Mayo had a great time with Dorothy, Robert and his “cousins” (their sweet pups!), with lots of play time, cuddling and homemade treats from Dorothy! Hassle-free in everything from booking, drop-off, duration of stay until pick-up!! Thank you for taking such good care of Mayo! We’ll definitely book with them again whenever we need someone else to take care of our Mayo! ❤️”

Arjelou A.

“Summer is awesome. She watched our pups for a night and she sent us updates and photos of them and told us when something was wrong. I would really recommend summer. She’s really great with animals and very kind.”

Hannah G.

“Barb was great with our dog, Daisy. It was the first time we had left her anywhere. Barb listened to any instructions I had and took great care of Daisy. She sent us pictures of Daisy several times a day. We appreciate the good care!”

Carla F.

“We left our little dog here for a week while we went to Puerto Rico and it was an excellent experience. Our dog came home healthy and happy and the caregiver was easy to work with and made drop off and pick up easy. We will be using her again!”

Josh M.

“Lindsay was very friendly and accommodating. Simba enjoyed his stay and was well taken care of. Will definitely consider rebooking her services for next time.”
