Safety, trust & environment

I am able to crate a dog easily if they are crate trained, I will also stay outside with them in the backyard rain or shine!

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, otherwise if they like fetch we will play fetch wherever we can find space!

Part 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!

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! .
