Pet care experience

Part time, will watch big dogs

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!

Kelli was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in every way while caring for both our dog and our cat. Her level of care and attention meant so much and gave us incredible peace of mind while we were away. We also had an unexpected last-minute change to our travel plans, and Kelli was incredibly accommodating and flexible with our schedule. Her communication was consistently prompt, professional, and reassuring throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated regularly, and it was obvious that both of our pets were happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention from her. It’s clear that Kelli genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and treats them like they’re her own. We came home to a happy dog, a happy cat, and a spotless home. In the past, we have had negative experiences with pet sitters, and Kelli’s care was so refreshing for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. We highly recommend Kelli and will absolutely be booking with her again!

Kelli was absolutely wonderful. She came for a meet-n-greet with our two 5-month-old Shepradore puppies prior to us leaving them for the first time for an overnight and was very confident and comfortable with them both. We scheduled four drop-in visits and she arrived as scheduled and followed all written instructions. Pictures were sent with each visit and she kept us updated on how they were doing. When we arrived home, the puppies were happy and well taken care of. Kelli is professional and her love for animals was very evident. We will definitely be using her again.

Kelli did a great job! I would definitely have her sit for my dogs again. She kept me informed at each visit and sent pictures. I never worried for a second! Thank you Kelli! Luka and Zelda say thank you as well! .

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?
