Safety, trust & environment

I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where animals feel understood. Having cared for dogs and cats my whole life, including my own reactive pup, I’m very mindful of body language, boundaries, and reducing stress. In your home, I follow your routines and preferences closely, keep things consistent, and make sure your pet always feels secure. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer visit, I’m attentive, gentle, and always prioritize safety and trust!

Information Keely C. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pet’s personality, any quirks or triggers, allergies, and what helps them feel safe and happy. The more I know, the better I can tailor their care!

A typical day

I love having fun on an animal’s terms. I’m happy to do quick drop-ins, longer hangouts so your pet feels safe, backyard adventures, or long walks. If your cat prefers a quiet refill and a little company, I’m there. If your high-energy dog needs a safe, structured dog-park trip or lots of fetch, I’m up for it. And if your pup likes slow sniff-walks down the block, I’m absolutely that person too.

Reactive-Savvy Pet Lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was five, and I love getting to know each animal’s personality and needs. I’m comfortable with reactivity and other common behavior quirks, thanks in part to my own almost-6-year-old staffy mix who has taught me so much about patience, structure, and joy. Whether you need a quick check-in or a long walk, I’m here to meet your pet where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for.

Keely was a wonderful sitter for our cat. Getting the daily report card from Keely while we were away for a long time set my mind at ease and allowed me to relax. She took great pictures, allowing me to see that my kitty was doing just fine without me, and kept me up to date on the few small health concerns my cat has. She also took good care of the plants while I was gone! It was such a relief to have someone so thorough and reliable looking after my girl. I will absolutely book with Keely again!

Keely has been walking my dog Lola every Wednesday for the past couple of weeks, and I truly could not be happier with the care she's provided. I booked with very little notice, reaching out on a Monday, and Keely came over the very next day to meet Lola, learn our routine, and get to know her needs. From the start, I could tell she was thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely invested in making sure Lola felt comfortable and safe. Lola is a reactive dog, and having someone who understands reactive dogs is incredibly important to me. Keely clearly has that experience and confidence. She pays attention to every detail, thinks ahead, and has approached each walk with care and awareness. I feel completely at ease knowing Lola is in her hands. What has impressed me even more is how thoughtful Keely is about factors beyond just the walk itself. We've had plenty of rainy weather lately, and she's done an amazing job timing walks to avoid the worst of it. She's also been mindful of potential thunderstorms and how Lola might react, which shows just how much she cares about the dogs she works with. Keely has been an absolute pleasure to work with - reliable, communicative, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I'm so grateful to have found her, and I know Lola is too. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their dog.
