Passionate Vet Nurse

Pet care experience

I am a huge animal lover who grew up with cats, dogs, horses, “pocket pets”, and reptiles. I am currently working as a vet tech at a veterinary clinic and have dedicated my life to animals. I have fostered over 500 cats and dogs that were homeless and at risk of euthanasia, and I have dogs of my own. Warren is my black Lab mix who is just an angel of a dog. He loves everyone and everything, every new pup he meets is an opportunity to make a new best friend! He welcomes our boarding pups with open paws ❤️ I understand how stressful it can be to leave your precious fur babies in the care of another individual, and I am hoping to make that less stressful for you! I can guarantee your animal will love our walks and time together, and I am always happy to send updates and a report on how each visit goes to put your mind at ease! Plus we live on three acres, one of which is fully fenced in which is a lot of fun for the pups to run in! We also love going to hikes and walks on trails and love to take our boarding pups along if the owner approves of walks and hikes. I pay close attention to detail, follow instructions well, and your animals well-being is of the utmost importance to me. I currently work at a veterinary clinic four days a week, my fiancé works an alternating schedule where it makes it that someone is home or able to stop home to check on and let the pups out very regularly. I have more availability than my calendar demonstrates as unfortunately we can only select full days and not certain times. So if you have a request for days that aren’t listed, please feel free to still send me a message and I’ll see if I can make it work for you! 😊 I can help Monday through Thursday before 7am and after 5pm. Friday through Sunday, I am completely available for visits at any time. I live on three acres. One acre is fully fenced in and I have two friendly pups that love other dogs that will help keep yours company! We do not leave dogs outside unattended and we do not leave dogs that are unfamiliar with each other loose together when someone is not monitoring them. Therefore, I do prefer that dogs are crate trained if they are coming to board in my home. When I board a dog, I am at home for majority of the time they are with me (as I feel the benefit of Rover is that your pets are in a home setting not a kennel). However, if I need to run to the grocery store, etc. I must be able to safely crate any dog. We go for daily walks and hikes as well, and love to play fetch!

Kelli is absolutely amazing! This is the third time we’ve had her come over, and she takes wonderful care of my dogs! If you’re looking for a kind, caring person that understands the health and well-being of your animal, but no further highly recommend Kelli! And will continue to use her services

Kelli was prompt, thorough, and checked in with updates. She even took out the trash when it started to smell!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced secure yard on an acre of land. Dogs are not left outside unattended ever. We take safety very seriously and animals in my care are treated as my own. I do require all dogs be up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention at least a month prior to boarding. I require proof of these vet records prior to boarding. This is for the safety of your pet, current boarding pets, and future boarding pets. Thank you for understanding! We do have a cat in the home and are able to keep them separate from your dogs if needed. However, this is a bit more difficult during extremely busy times of the year (such as major holidays since they are a bit more hectic).

Information Kelli G. would like to know about your pet

Knowing about any special needs ahead of time is always useful! I can cater to just about anything as I am a vet tech and comfortable with medication administration, we just need to know so we ensure your animals get the exceptional care they deserve ❤️ I also love to know what toys and treats are your pups favorite so we can make sure to have some things of comfort on hand for them!

A typical day

We are big on physical AND mental exercise in my home. We love walking and hiking, plus the huge fenced in backyard is great for physical exercise. But we also love to use fun puzzle toys for feeding to help engage dogs minds to create even more fun for them.

I work Monday through Thursday 7am to 5pm but am off Friday through Sunday every week. I also have all holidays off. My fiancé works an alternating schedule from me so someone is home a good majority of the time or able to stop in for potty breaks and play time. For house sitting, I do not offer constant care. I can offer a midday drop in on the days that I am off, a dinner visit, and then am there 10-12+ hours overnight. I have visits for other clients throughout the day and pets at home that does not allow for constant care. Rest assured, your pets will receive a lot of love and attention.
