Pet care experience
Loving, caring pet-sitter with 30+ years of experience, taking care of your pets in YOUR home, where they are the most comfortable and relaxed. House sitting included in price (this is the preferred method, if you so desire), which means overnight stays. Excellent rates and references, and I will cheerfully supply them. ***Please know that I am a NON-SMOKER. *** The pets with which I have experience include: dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, rabbits, hamsters & gerbils, turtles, reptiles, birds (including chickens), horses, alpacas, cows, sheep, pot-belly pigs, other farm animals, and even bees! I will make your house appear lived-in while you're away, and will perform light duties like trash-to-curb service on your specific refuse day, watering plants, bringing in mail and packages, etc. On the final day of my stay, I will do my best to leave your house just as I found it. I will wash my used linens and towels, run the dishwasher, etc. if you request (and time allows). In closing, I have a fun sense of humor and will send you all sorts of pictures (and maybe even a video or two) of your pet and our adventures together while you're away. :) Apologies in advance if my calendar is full. I'm in high demand on and off of Rover.com. I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. Thank you so much for reading my profile! UPDATE: If you schedule me for your vacation, please know that I've reserved this time for you. I have turned down other families who have requested my services, so PLEASE be courteous and give me as much time as possible should you need to cancel. I completely understand that plans change, etc., however I would appreciate a simple phone call/text/email/etc. just to let me know. Thank you so much! :) Further, as of August 2016, I'm no longer accepting clients south of the river due to gas/tolls/etc. My apologies for any inconvenience. The prices listed are for dogs & cats only. If you have additional or exotic pets, or barnyard animals, prices may be higher. Please contact me for a free quote. Thank you very much! :)
Reviews
Kelley did an amazing job for the 2 1/2 weeks with our 2 German Shepherd puppies and house cat. The pups are high energy dogs and she cared for them in a very patient and kind manner. She is highly dependable and works hard to give the best care to our pets. We feel lucky to have met her and for her to have stayed with our fur babies while we were gone.
Kelley took great care of our dog! This was the first time we've left her with anyone since moving to Virginia last year and we couldn't be happier. Our dog isn't the best eater (loves her snacks, but kibble not as much), and we had let Kelley know that. But she was still concerned enough to check and make sure our dog ate upon our return (she had!). That type of care is greatly appreciated. Highly recommend using Kelley!
Kelley did a great job on the watching our Great Fane.! We would recommend her to others. She was very responsive and interactive.
It was just one night, but everything was just fine. My dog and cat were able to keep to their routine and weren't the least bit stressed. I already have Kelley booked again for later this month.

Safety, trust & environment
I do not care for any animal in my home as it is a studio apartment and I have a cat who is not very accepting of other animals. Besides, your pet is happier in YOUR home while you're away. Familiarity breeds CONTENTedness ; )
Information Kelley A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if I can help you with basic training. Also please give me a head's up if your pet requires extensive medical attention or if they have special needs.
A typical day
I love visiting dog parks (on and off-leash), if you allow. And if not, doggie walks in abundance -- a tired dog is a happy and well-behaved dog!
