Availability

I like to keep things cozy, so I host up to four pups at a time so last-minute boarding requests may not always be possible. Please try to give at least three days’ notice — but I know life happens! I’ll always do my best to accommodate you and your pup whenever I can. 🐶✨

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort come first! 🐾✨ I provide one-on-one care so your pup gets my full attention. I typically care for only one dog at a time, but I may host up to four if they’re a good fit together. I live alone in a cozy one-bedroom, one-bath apartment — no roommates, kids, or other pets — so it’s a calm and quiet environment for your dog to relax and feel at home. While I don’t have a fenced yard, my apartment complex has plenty of safe walking paths and green spaces for potty breaks and exercise. Your pup will always be in a secure, loving, and peaceful environment with me!

Information Kelli K. would like to know about your pet

Please just let me know if your dog has any special needs. I went through pretty much every situation with my senior Shih Tzu and took care of him like a baby and would do the same for your dog.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about your dog’s needs and personality! 🐾 I always start by learning about your pup’s activity level and routine. If they love to play and run, we’ll have fun with walks, games, and plenty of exercise. If they prefer to relax and snuggle, I’m more than happy to keep things calm and cozy. No matter what, your dog will get lots of love, attention, potty breaks, and whatever makes them feel happiest and most comfortable while you’re away.

Boarding + House Sitting | 5⭐️

Pet care experience

Hello! 🐶✨ I provide high-quality, reliable pet care with a focus on consistency, structure, and making sure your dog feels completely at home, whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them. I was a proud dog owner of a Shih Tzu (Bailey) for 15 wonderful years. I have 4+ years on Rover and 70+ five-star reviews, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents trust me not just to care for their dogs, but to maintain routines, provide updates, and handle everything with professionalism and care. My primary service is in-home boarding, where your dog stays with me in a calm, clean, and well-managed environment. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other pets, which allows me to create a low-stress setting. While I may host a small group of dogs at a time (up to four), I’m very intentional about fit, temperament, and energy levels to ensure a safe, comfortable experience for everyone. I focus on creating a structured, balanced environment, not a high-volume setting so each dog still receives plenty of attention, care, and individualized routines. For clients who prefer care in their own home, I also offer premium house sitting. This is a more exclusive service where I stay in your home and focus entirely on your pet’s routine and comfort. Because this requires full-time, dedicated care and I can only take one household at a time, availability is limited. I’m highly organized and proactive, so I stay on top of feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any specific instructions. You can expect regular updates with photos, clear communication, and the peace of mind that everything is being handled. My goal is simple: happy, relaxed pets and a seamless, stress-free experience for you. Let’s set up a meet & greet! I’d love to learn more about your dog and how I can help. ♥️🐾

UH-MAZE-ING. Kelli was wonderful and treated Coffee as her own. He was so spoiled during his stay. Will definitely be reaching out to Kelli in the future for his bookings.

Kelli was an amazing dog sitter for our dog Russ! He’s typically a very anxious dog with new people but Kelli made him feel right at home and he definitely missed her when we picked him up! She also sent many photos to keep us updated, we’ll definitely be using her again in the future 😊

Kelli is awesome! She was so welcoming when we dropped off our pup. Our dog is a little shy and can take some time to warm up, but Kelli immediately made him feel at home. She sent us daily photos and even gave us some polaroids of our dog when we picked him up. Strongly recommend!
