Caring Pet Lover Ready to Spoil

Note: My dog does best with dogs 30+ pounds because she really thinks she’s a big dog! I grew up on a farm and love all animals. I currently live with my 8 year old beagle/boston terrier, Coco. Prior to Coco, my heart belonged to my dog, Buddy, who blessed my life for 13 years. We live in a nice, quiet neighborhood and most of our neighbors have dogs too. We love to play fetch inside and outside. We enjoy taking long walks. Coco is very active and loves playing with other dogs. I believe pets are family and, if you choose me to be your pet sitter, I will treat your dog as our honored guest. Coco and I look forward to meeting you!

First time using Rover and I found such a wonderful, caring person for my dog. I loved getting updates and pictures throughout everyday to ease my nerves. My dog was SO well taken care of. Kellene is definitely a dog lover ! Would recommend to everyone!

Kellene was great! She sent me pictures and updates on how my dog was doing while I was away. She also responded to messages promptly.

As a furbaby mama, there is always a heart tug when I need to leave my dog.. Kellene was just awesome how she would care and love my my dog Precious...Kellene also brought this mama joy and comfort by the updates and pictures throughout my time away from Precious. I would highly recommend her and her dog Coco....

We had a great experience with Kellene! She took excellent care of Izuku and was incredibly thoughtful, she even had an extra jacket for him when it got cold. Other sitters have mentioned that Izuku can be a bit stubborn on walks, but he had no issues with Kellene. Communication was perfect, just the right amount of updates throughout the trip. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.

We had a great experience with Kellene taking care of our pup. She was very responsive before and during the stay, and sent many updates/photos. Ozzy and coco got along great and it was nice to have a meet and great before to make sure the stay would go well. She treated Ozzy like her own pup and took him for walks, lots of play time and cuddles. We couldn’t ask for anything more!

Schedule

I work from home Monday through Friday until 3 pm. I am an early riser and play with the dogs prior to work and let them out for frequent potty breaks/play during the day. After work, we like to take walks around the neighborhood or at the lakefront.
