Pet care experience

Does your dog spend the day waiting for you to come home from work? Dogs need more than just a quick potty break — they need companionship, playtime, and a chance to feel included. I provide a fun, safe, and loving environment where your pup can enjoy the day instead of feeling bored or lonely while you’re at work. Your dog deserves more than simply being cared for while you’re away — they deserve a day filled with companionship, comfort, enrichment, & love. I provide a personalized, home-style experience where your pup can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. While you’re focused on your workday, I make sure your dog’s day is filled with attention, engagement, and the little moments that keep them happy and fulfilled. My home is a place where dogs can enjoy gentle companionship, playtime with my friendly dog, walks, cuddles, and plenty of positive interaction. I treat every dog as an individual, taking the time to understand their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Think of it as a private day retreat for your best friend — a place where they can enjoy their day just as much as you enjoy yours, knowing they are in loving & capable hands. I’m a former veterinary technician with lifelong animal care & experience. Whether your baby needs medication, extra patience, or just lots of belly rubs, I’m here to provide. I’m confident with senior dogs, special needs pets, and all kinds of temperaments. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing that your fur child is in experienced, caring hands. I also do brushing, massages, baths & nail trims (upon request).

Kel has an unyielding love for pets. She has a passion for making them comfortable in her home and will go above and beyond to ensure their nutritional needs and keeping them healthy. She has always taken good care of her pets as well as caring for stray cats in her neighborhood. She is responsible and has a good heart and is always ready to extend her love to animals. She’d make an excellent pet caregiver.
