Pet care experience
Where Fur, Paws & Hooves Call Home
With over 15 years of hands-on animal experience, I've built a life around caring for pets of all kinds - and it shows the moment your fur baby walks through my door. I currently share my property with my own cats, dogs, and horses, so your pet will be welcomed into a real animal home - complete with a couple acres to roam and a fully fenced yard. This isn't an apartment sit; this is country living for your pet. I'm an approved foster with two local rescue organizations and have been actively fostering for 7+ years across multiple groups. That experience means I'm highly skilled at managing pack dynamics, introducing new animals smoothly, and keeping every pet calm, safe, and comfortable - even in a full house. I've personally housebroken and trained all of my own animals, and I'm happy to reinforce any commands or routines your pet already knows. I'm also fully comfortable administering medications and adapting care for pets with special needs - just let me know what your pet requires and I'll make it work. Your pet isn't just a booking to me. They're a guest in a home where animals truly come first.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kelli has been taking care of our dogs and cats for about 8 years now, and we couldn't be happier. Our kiddos can be a handful, but she had them settled and comfortable from the very first visit. Kelli follows our routines and instructions exactly, from feeding schedules to exercise and medications. We get photos and updates after every visit, so we always know how everyone is doing, whether the dogs wore themselves out playing or the cats decided to supervise from a distance. Kelli clearly loves animals and knows how to read them. We trust her completely and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Kelli has been my pet sitter for over five years, and she's honestly the best. My two cats can be really nervous around new people, but they've really warmed up to her during her drop-in visits. She follows instructions to a tee, whether it's giving medicine or bringing in the mail. She takes great photos and texts me after every visit to let me know how things look, like whether the cats have been playing with something or seemed extra shy that day. At home she has dogs, cats, and horses of her own, and she also fosters dogs, has worked with senior animals, and is great at training. She has such a wide breadth of knowledge about animals. Kelli is amazing, and I'd trust her completely with any animal.

Schedule
Animal care isn't something I fit into my day - it IS my day. Because I work from home, I'm on the property and present with the animals throughout the day, every day. My routine naturally revolves around morning and evening feeding rounds for my own cats, dogs, and horses, which means your pet slots right into an already structured, consistent care schedule - not an afterthought squeezed between other commitments. During the day your pet will have regular check-ins, outdoor time in a fenced yard, and plenty of company - both human and animal. If your dog needs an extra walk, or your pet needs medication administered on a specific schedule, I'm here and available to make that happen. For me, adding a boarding guest isn't a disruption - it's just one more animal who gets to experience a home where care and routine are already deeply built in.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When your pet comes to my home, they're stepping into a fully functioning animal household. From the moment they arrive, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I follow your pet's lead and never force interaction with my own animals until everyone is comfortable. With 7+ years of fostering experience, introductions and pack dynamics are something I handle carefully and confidently. Your dog will have the opportunity to socialize and play with my four friendly dogs (after appropriate intros are made) - making their stay feel less like boarding and more like a playdate. For social dogs, it's honestly the highlight of the visit! During their stay, pets can expect: - Structured feeding times aligned with your pet's normal schedule and diet - Outdoor time in our securely fenced yard and rural acreage throughout the day - Plenty of human interaction since I work from home and am present all day - Medications or special care administered exactly as instructed - Reinforcement of existing commands and routines so nothing slips while you're away I keep owners updated with photos and check-ins throughout the stay so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My home is their home - and around here, animals always come first.

A typical day
I am happy to meet your dog's needs physically and mentally. I have a variety of puzzles and snuffle mats for rainy days. I am also happy to let them explore new smells and animals in my neighborhood or on my farm.

- It would be helpful for me to know if your dog has any preferences, behaviors, or needs that I should account for while they are with me. If your dog is cat and/or dog friendly is also helpful to know so I can separate appropriately.
