Full time, will watch big dogs
Pet care experience
I've been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I've watched dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've watched a Pomeranian and her puppies when they were four weeks old, and a Rottweiler when she was nine years old. I have also watched a yellow lab who needed twice daily oral medication, and her "sister" who was an ex puppy mill dog who had bladder issues. I grew up with a variety of dogs but mainly golden retrievers. I frequently watch my aunt's eight year old golden retriever who gets over excited for walks and will happily jump in the car to go on adventure to Eldridge Park. I follow all rules when it comes to discipline and treats, because I've seen if a dogs routine changes too often it can take a long time to get it back on schedule. I love watching cats and had my first one live to 21 years old!
Reviews
Kelli was awesome, kept us updated with pictures and we're so so grateful!
Kelli was good with our dog but had a tendency to either come late for scheduled appointments or canceled last minute, causing our dog to be in for sometimes 9 to 10 hours.
Kelly did an amazing job with my kittens and adult cat. She updated me appropriately and made sure they were well taken care of.
I’m new to Rover and this was my first long term experience. I have mixed feelings about my dogs care some negative and some positive and I don’t feel as if my expectations were unreasonable. I have a terrier, a very high energy dog who loves and needs his walks, rain or shine… umbrella was available but he was not walked two days in a row due to rain and other days and cut short one day due to fog. My dog also spent his whole trip one night in a bar and was picked up by a local drunk and im quite upset about that. I had asked for 1 hour at 7am and 1 hour at 7 pm and he got a 1/2 hour each time, no where near enough time for a dog with his energy level thus ending up in some destruction of my property. Kelli is good with Bailey and did clean up snd even vacuumed after his destruction but didn’t walk him because she didn’t have time to. Not sure what I’ll do next time. Again it was a learning experience for me. I do feel the service is a good one and I like Kelli as a person. She is perhaps expecting too much for herself as she is very busy with the dogs and going to school as well. I wish her the best.

Skills
Information Kelli H. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, I would like to know how excitable your dog is when they hear the word walk so I can give myself proper time to prepare and give the proper walk time. I would also like to know their food schedule and how much they get, and if they are allowed treats. Also is fluffy the great Dane allowed on the couch or does she stay on her own bed?
A typical day
Depending on location I will walk in your neighbor hood or go to Eldridge park in Elmira for a bit of play time.
