Safety, trust & environment

When caring for a client’s pet in their home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal routine to minimize stress and ensure comfort. I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, litter box cleaning, medications, and playtime. I take the time to bond with each pet, offering affection and attention on their terms—whether that’s active play or quiet companionship. I also respect the client’s space, keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos and notes so they know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make both the pet and the owner feel completely at ease while they’re apart.

Information Kelley D. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know about the pet’s behavior and personality so I know how to keep their pet comfortable, safe and relaxed!

A typical day

I will listen to the owner on what their pet loves to do and is comfortable with, especially with a stranger! I love to play with pets to keep them stimulated mentally and physically, and I love giving treats and petting and talking to them.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs for 7 years and regularly care for my parents’ and sister’s dogs. You can count on me to keep your home tidy, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates—because peace of mind is just as important as excellent care.

Huge thanks to Kelley for taking such great care of my cat! She was happy, relaxed, and well-fed when I got home. Totally trust them with her anytime.

Kelley is an amazing cat sitter! My cat was calm, happy, and well-cared for when I returned. She followed all instructions, sent daily updates, and truly loves animals. I trust her completely and will book again without hesitation

Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved while we were away. Kelley was reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time. Highly recommend!
