Pet care experience

Experienced Dog & Cat Handler

Hi! I'm Kelley and I'd love to help you out and take care of your pet! I have experience volunteering at my local animal shelter for over 5 years now. I've also worked as a dog bather at two separate dog grooming salons so i’m experienced with handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. On top of that, I’ve always had cats of my own. Whether it's staying overnight or just dropping by for a check in and a little dog walk, I’m here to help! I work a part-time job but keep my availability on this app up to date so there’s no confusion. Another plus: I'm great at answering my text messages so you'll never have to worry about miscommunication! Thanks for stopping by and let me know if I can help you!

Great with my high energy dog and somebody I instantly trusted to have keys to my home! Kelley is a great dog walker and human.

We can't recommend Kelley enough! She took amazing care of our border collie, and it couldn't have gone better. Border collies need a lot of attention and activity, and Kelley kept my boy happy and engaged the whole time. One of our favorite updates was seeing the two of them hanging out in the sunshine at a coffee shop in the morning. Our boy looked like he was living his best life! The regular photos and updates gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Kelley is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. We'll definitely be booking with her again!

For as long as I've known Kelley, she has been the biggest animal lover I know. She used to take care of my giant schnauzer on the weekends, and he absolutely adored her. She was the only dog sitter I trusted to watch Dirk!

Kelley Sloot has no problem when it comes to getting along with animals. She has an extreme amount of compassion towards animals, and her willingness to go the extra mile shows. When she was living several hours away from home, she would still go home every week to go to the local animal shelter she has volunteered at for years. She has experience working with animals, and has always been someone I ask when I need animal advice. Having Kelley as a dog walker for Rover would be an excellent decision, as she will take great care of animals that people care so deeply for. She a reliable and dependable worker that will not let anyone down.
