Care for Adventurous & Active Dogs
Pet care experience
**Update: I am currently not boarding dogs at my house but am available for house sitting, visits and walks. Caring for dogs is what I do. It is my passion. I provide individualized care based upon your pets needs. I have over a decade of experience working with dogs professionally and a lifetime of personal experience. I have worked with several pet services companies, a 24hr Emergency Veterinary Hospital, a well-known local animal care facility that offers veterinary care, grooming, boarding and daycare, and have worked as an assistant trainer. I am skilled in medication administration, training, bathing/brushing/nail clipping/teeth & ear cleaning, behavior modification, you name it and I've done it. My days consist of multiple outdoor adventures with my dog(s): walks, runs, hikes, snowshoeing, mountain biking, etc. Our home is within walking distance to miles of trails. We also take trips to local parks, beaches and mountains. Don't worry, if your pet is unable/unwilling to go for long outings there are several short walks I can take them on =) I recently lost my co-pilot Boss to Lymphoma. He had an amazing 12 years and I miss him terribly. I have not gotten another dog and would love to help care for yours. If your dog loves the outdoors and walks then consider me! It is a hard decision and I encourage you to do your research and ask any questions that come to mind. There are many things to consider when placing the care of your four-legged family member in someone else's hands. I am always available to meet before-hand to make sure it's a good fit and help ease your mind. Kelley
Reviews
Kelley is AMAZING! The perfect home away from home for our dog, Duke. She shows him so much care and love. Sends updates and pictures. He loves his vacations with her. We are so fortunate to have found her.
Kelley is an absolutely amazing 'home away from home' caregiver for our dog, Duke. He is so well cared for and loves his time with her. We get frequent updates and pictures of his fun adventures. She is awesome!
Kelley watched my pups while I was out of town and did a great job. I got daily updates, pups were happy and I would hire her back again.
Kelley was AMAZING! We have some high energy pups with big personalities that can be a lot sometimes. They warmed up to Kelley right away and she was so good with them. She was in touch with us all weekend with updates and we came home to two very happy tired (and well behaved!) pups! Could not be more grateful and will absolutely have her help us again!

I have a large fenced in backyard at my home located in the quiet town of Danville, NH. Your pet will be supervised and with me at all times. I have plenty of room for a crate if needed. I avoid dog parks as I find they often encourage unwanted behaviors and are not always safe.
Information Kelley W. would like to know about your pet
Any medical conditions, medications, special diets, allergies. Any behavioral concerns, such as food aggression, fear aggression, are they good with other animals and people/men separation anxiety, counter surfers, etc. Anything that helps me make sure they are comfortable and safe.
A typical day
We go on plenty of walks and play games to engage and stimulate your pup. Miles of beautiful trails right in my backyard to explore. Lots of snuggling and for the older dogs I go at their pace. For dogs I am only walking, I enjoy taking them to the beaches depending on your location.
