My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

I provide updates after each visit so if there is something specific you'd like me to include, just let me know!

A typical day

I'd love to take your dog for a walk or even play a game of fetch in the back yard. If you've got cats, I'm happy to love on them too!

Pet care experience

I’m a professional pet sitter who understands how hard it can be to find truly reliable care—especially when your pet has special needs. I’ve owned and cared for both cats and dogs with medical, behavioral, and age-related needs, and those experiences showed me just how important consistent, knowledgeable care really is. After struggling to find quality care for my own pets while traveling, I realized I wasn’t alone. That experience inspired me to offer my services beyond friends and family to help other pet parents feel confident leaving their pets at home. I’m passionate about clear communication, dependable routines, and following care instructions exactly as provided—from feeding schedules and medications to mobility support and comfort preferences. I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and relaxed, and I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give your pet calm, attentive care—and give you the peace of mind to fully enjoy your time away.

Once again Kelley took great care of our fussy and (sometimes) crabby cat, Birdie. She is the BEST and I never worry when she is on duty-extremely reliable and caring pet sitter! Thanks so much, Kelley!

Kelley was fantastic! Bella, who normally does not come to greet strangers, was always so excited to see her throughout the trip. Kelley answered questions we had before we confirmed the booking to make sure we were comfortable, and made sure to send photos every visit to show us how she was doing. We will definitely be asking Kelley for pet care in the future!
