Availability
I am self-employed and work from home, so I am completely able to work with your schedule! Frequent potty breaks, longs walks, random snuggles, and time-sensitive medications are no issue. I'd be honored to spend as much time with your pet as you need and can make them my #1 priority!

About Kelli O.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am able to give your pet access to most areas of my home with constant close supervision and can crate them as needed. My safe, friendly neighborhood is perfect for walks, as is my secluded backyard. I also have a caged-in lanai where your pet can sniff and explore safely with me present--dogs love it! I'm happy to work with them on tricks/training as well.
Home
Information Kelli O. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your pet's feeding schedule and what quantity of food to give, along with any medications or quirks I should accommodate (your dog would not be the first to need his food sprinkled with parmesan cheese in order to eat!) Let me know if they have an issue with other people or animals so I can be extremely careful about keeping them isolated on walks if necessary, as well any allergies, fears, and their typical bedtime routine (crate vs no crate, for example.) I would also love to know their favorite spots to be scratched and how they like to play.
A typical day
I would shape our day around your pup's individual needs and preferences. We could go for fun neighborhood walks to take in the sunshine and pick up lots of new smells, or get our sun and scents in by lounging on the lanai together. Cozy time is a must, whether your buddy wants to snuggle with me or prefers their space--I'll sit nearby as they relax in a comfy bed. The day would be full of treats, quality time, and happy memories for us both!

Putting Your Pets First
Pet care experience
In short, animals and I speak the same language. I've been caring for dogs since I was a child, recently including un-crate-trained puppies, super seniors, dogs going through physical therapy, dogs who take medication, and dogs with both high and low physical activity needs. I started caring for cats additionally at age 20 and am especially patient with winning over shy, timid kitties. For as long as I can remember, animals have gravitated towards me--I'm often the first person an unfamiliar dog will run to in a room full of people! If you're not convinced, let's set up a meet-and-greet to see if I would be the right person for your special buddy. They deserve someone who loves them as much as you do!
Reviews
I have a very nervous little dachshund; Kelli went above and beyond to make him feel safe and secure. Communications were great, too! Will definitely book again with Kelli.
Lucca our 11-year old cavalier has never had a pet sitter that wasn’t immediate family. Kelli offered to meet before our vacation and we were comfortable from then on. She asked extensive questions about his care & handled his somewhat complicated medication and food schedule like a pro. So happy to have found Kelli. She is very trustworthy and gave excellent updates every day. Lucca was so loved while we were gone & his transition back home after 5 days was seamless. I will be contacting her soon to help again. :)
I highly recommend Kelly! She was sweet, accommodating, and always quick to respond. We could tell our dog had an amazing time and was well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!
So happy to have found Kelli to help with drop ins for our two dogs. She is on time and provides regular updates and you can tell by the pictures she sends that she just loves our dogs. I highly recommend Kelli if you need a reliable pet sitter.
