Energetic Dog-Loving Pet Parents!

Pet care experience

Rover Write-Up Hi there! We’re Kelley & Brian, two animal lovers living in Cambridge with endless amounts of energy, care and love for all pets. Kelley was (and is) a long-time, proud sister and aunt to two dogs who’ve changed her life. Ace, my “puppy nephew” and pictured in our profile, is a mutt, primarily with pit bull, Australian cattle dog and lab. Once my brother and sister in law rescued him in 2015, he touched our family’s hearts so many times in so many ways with his loyalty and constant desire to have fun with his family. In 2019, our family became even bigger when my parents became pet parents for the first time. It’s been amazing to watch them raise my “puppy brother”...especially after begging for a dog for 25 years :) Riley is a yellow lab who’s 4 years old and 90 pounds of sweetness, high energy and snuggles. Brian luckily grew up with dogs his entire life, caring for various breeds at different points, always getting to know their individual personalities and needs and always prioritizing having fun. In 2022, we couldn’t wait any longer and rescued a sweet pup of our own, Maggie. Maggie is a lab-mix with lots of energy and an endless desire for belly rubs. She completes our family perfectly :) All of the dogs in our lives have each made such unique imprints on our lives. Animal instincts, care and loyalty make relationships with animals unlike relationships you can have with humans. We absolutely love building relationships with dogs and giving them a good dose of love and fun in return for everything they give to us! Let’s see how we can help you as a pup parent(s) and share some of our energy and love with your dog. While our schedules vary from week to week, between the two of us, we can usually find some flexibility for either one or both of us to care for your dog(s). Please reach out to share more about yourself and your furry friends, ask any questions, share your needs and preferences, and see how we can help! Thanks for reading and talk soon!

Kelly and Brian were great! They are super communicative and send lots of pictures which is always appreciated. They also did an amazing job with our dog who has special health needs and gets a little anxious at the dog sitter. We would definitely book them again!

We are fortunate to have found Kelley and Brian on Rover! Not only have they been excellent with walking and playing with our two dogs, but they were great with boarding our cats for almost a week! Highly recommend!

Kelley and Brian took such amazing care of Feta, sent updates with pictures and videos twice a day so I knew he was getting all the exercise he needs even while I was away. He looked so happy in every photo or video. They even brought him to the groomers for me so I wouldn’t have to cancel my appointment- a huge help. I knew while I was away that someone was loving my dog as much as I do, and gave me huge peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

We are accustomed to caring for dogs in a city environment. While we have a small apartment, when caring for dogs here, we will always work with the pet owner to identify their levels of comfort for city walks, the nearby city (fenced in) dog park, indoor play time, etc. Animal safety is of critical importance to us and we will ensure a comfortable environment.

Information Kelley & Brian B. would like to know about your pet

We would love to understand if your dog has any special needs, unique quirks, likes and dislikes. Living in a city environment, we’d like to know how your dog is on leashed walks with other walkers, dogs, bikes, etc. Does your dog enjoy snuggles, their personal space or a mix of both?! Additionally, while we aim to spend much of my time with the dog, if booking for extended time frames (longer than 3 days), please let us know how your dog is alone for 3-4 hours at a time.

A typical day

If coming to our house, we would love to give your dog a great dose of fun and excitement! In addition to playing with our own pup, Maggie, we also have a great dog park a few blocks away for some fenced-in running and playing with other pups, some great walking areas with lots of places to check out new smells and a cozy living room where we can chill and drink some water after activities. We are big dog talkers :) so we’ll be sure to engage with your dog and hopefully create a nice relationship and bond!
