Cat Sitting in Ely

About: I have both professional and personal dog care experience While I was growing up, there was always at least one animal in our house. I also have experience training puppies for an organization called Custom Canines Service Dog Academy (CCSDA), out of Madison, WI. With CCSDA, I raised two golden retrievers, one who went on to become a total access service dog for a veteran and her family. Training includes a lot of socialization and bringing the dogs everywhere to get them used to being out in public and working amidst distractions as well as obedience and special skills training. I most recently worked in Ely, Minnesota at a sled dog yard. Responsibilities included feeding dogs, handling the dogs, basic doggie first aid check-ups after each run and more while managing the working dogs. I have learned a lot about animal behavior through those experiences, and I am very comfortable around all types of dogs. Currently I am in a bit of a transition, I just got back from traveling and I am in GB, working and taking a class. Using this as a side gig to make a little bit of extra money before I move to Maine in the spring. I am available on weekdays between 9 am and 9 pm and most weekends as well. I can be pretty flexible as to which days and times I am available, so just reach out and we can work something out! I am living with three dogs at the moment. My family has two loving labs (7 & 5) who get on well with each other and other dogs. My sister also has a golden retriever in the house who is 1 year old. I love to take the three dogs for walks around the neighborhood and because they are friendly and get on well with other dogs, we occasionally make trips to the dog parks in the area. It is unlikely, but if I have one of the dogs with me, I would definitely clear that to make sure it is okay with you and your pets first.

“Betsy is great with animals, she is dependable and kept in touch with me about my pets while I was away. Great personality and my pets loved her too!”

“So happy to have Kelly serving this area! They're truly caring with my pets. I had to adjust the schedule because of an unplanned visit, and Kelly was super flexible and understanding. I'd definitely recommend Kelly and her reliable assistant to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! Thank you Kelly and Ryan.”

About: I have one dog and two cats, so i have a long road of pet experience behind me. I also would petsit my parents friends foster animals, neighbors pets and my grandmothers two cats, and had lots of fun doing so! I currently work full time but am planning on starting part time, one of my hobbies is hiking so i always have time to walk dogs. I often take my dog on frequent walks and let her outside to go potty, I do not take my cats outside but I play with them frequently.

About: I have two weiner dogs and a chunky cat that I spoil rotten! I can’t wait to do the same for your pets. ♡ My whole life I have provided care for neighbor and friend’s cats and dogs— I always considered that my first official job! I also have experience shadowing and interning at my hometown vet office. I now work remotely in Ely and can easily be there to walk and/or drop in on your pet(s)! I work remotely from home, so I can be there to provide care for your pets during the working hours (M-F, 8am-5pm). I will prioritize time with your pets! (Based on my life schedule, I am also available for select weeknight & weekend care.) I always walk my dogs, Linus & Louie, on a leash or harness to keep them safe on walks/hikes, and I provide only the best care for him in terms of food, health, and love. I am familiar with many dog behaviors and can adjust to care for your dogs special needs.
