Pet care experience
Pet Pawfection Every Time!
I believe what sets me apart from the rest is the fact that I consistently strive to provide an exemplary level of performance of services to each, and every home/pet owner. I go out of my way to learn something more about each animal I work with every time I see them! In my opinion, learning the ins-and-outs of each beloved, four-pawed, baby within your family that I work with is one of the most important parts of my provided services. However, I believe that what is almost equal in importance is having a good work ethic & dedicated personality, while treating each home I stay in as my own, and loving and caring for all of the fur babies I have the honor of working with as if they were my own as well. I truly believe that it is the combination of everything mentioned above, that causes my past clients state that I far exceeded their expectations, time and time again. I started walking and caring for dogs professionally about 8 years ago. Prior to that, I have had the privilege of a few dogs, and many cats as my own "children" over my years as well. If asked to give a preference, I would say that I prefer the company of animals over humans, any day! While I haven't had alot of special formal training, I have learned how to put almost any style of harness and/or collar on any furbaby, as well as learned canine CPR, and I tend to be fairly talented at teaching some babies, (young & old) new tricks. I attribute my skills to many years of true & real experience working with many of my own babies as well as many other's pets. I am a firm believer that Hands-On is the best training that anyone could ever receive. I currently live in an apartment complex, so unfortunately I'm not available for dog boarding or doggie daycare in my own home, however I am available for dog walking, drop ins, and/or dog sitting in your home! So if I have piqued your interest, or sound somewhat intriguing, please don't hesitate to reach out today! I can assure you that I completely look forward to hanging out with and spending time with your fur babies soon! To be up front, I do work other part-time jobs outside of Rover. I perform maid service Monday through Friday typically between the hours of 8:00 and 12:00 noon, I also do some ubering and/or grocery shopping, as well as automobile and residential inspections from time to time. However, I do make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting. I’m a very active and energetic person who can keep up with almost any pup! Hopefully, I've been able to exhibit through this short resume, that you can have complete confidence that I am an honest & hard-working person who takes an extreme amount of pride in any work that I perform, or service that I provide, always.

Safety, trust & environment
Since I have been providing care for your four-pawed friends for a good amount of time now, I feel pretty confident that through experience I have had more than enough training to understand the importance of ensuring that any keys that are left for me are safely placed back where I found them, as well as ensuring that harnesses and leashes are securely on your babies before I open front door to take them for their walks. I also understand the importance of ensuring that your babies are securely placed back into their crate, or the specific area agreed to prior to initial care. I've also learned the benefits and or tricks of the trade such as readily having a snack or two available to distract your loved one/s while I make a great escape out the door at the end of my services If they have free range of the home. I also like to provide the common courtesy of ensuring that your loved one has plenty of water and or food if requested prior to me leaving the home since they more than likely lost a lot of their hydration during any outings that have been agreed upon prior to service. As far as safety on walks, I do typically have a pocket full of treats just in case I need to divert your loved ones attention or in case of a slim to none possibility of losing control of your favorite pets. I also carry mace on me, as well as flashlights for when I provide you services at night. And lastly, and this would be the one that I believe is the most important safety, trust, and environmental issue would be that I pay special attention to every detail of the instructions that have been given to me for each and every fur baby that I work with. There is nothing more important than what you, as the parent of the baby's I deal with, have told me to watch out for, to know what their likes and dislikes are, to know what distracts them if needed, to know if they have any special needs or special pathways they prefer to be on during walks or medications needed before or after each visit. Because you are the one that knows your baby the best, therefore it is in my best interest to listen to each and every word you have to say and instruction that you can give me to enable me to provide the very best service for you & your pets!
Ratings and reviews
Truly a LIFESAVER. Kelli came to our aid after our sitter cancelled in the middle of a stay. The level of care and attention that she provided to both our dogs and our home was truly unparalleled. We’re so thankful for Kelli!
Kelli was great with all our pets. Our outside cat is a scrapper! He got beat up pretty bad & Kelli watched him very carefully & kept us updated until we got home and took him to the vet..no breaks just bites.
Kelli is awesome as always! We went on a 7 day cruise and she watched our pups, sent pictures of them daily. I’m not so sure they had a better time with her than with us. Nevertheless, they were happy to see us. Don’t hesitate to book here for your pup sitting needs. She is fantastic!
This is the third time we’ve had Kelli house sit and watch our pups. Each time she has been fantastic and is our go to when we go out of town for vacation. Very highly recommended!
This is our first time using Rover and we were very worried. Kelli was amazing! She gave us regular updates on our puppers and really eased our minds, which allowed us to enjoy the time with our family. 10 out of 10, would highly recommend!
Fantastic. Cannot say enough good things. Fur babies were taken great care of!

Schedule
The only part of my daily schedule that is set in stone is Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon I have homes that I do maid service for and I am unable to provide pet services during that time each weekday. However, anytime after noon on Monday through Friday, and all day Saturday and Sunday, I have tons of flexibility, so I like to fit the care of your loved ones into my daily or weekly routine as it fits the needs of your babies as well as your personal needs as per whatever initial agreement you and I would come to. Bottom line is this, if I can work with you I will work with you no matter what your needs are! Please understand if you wish for me to do a drop in for your pet multiple times a day, that each drop in is a separate charge. But I will make mention once again that all you need to do is ask, if there is a way for me to accommodate your financial situation that is beneficial to both of us, then I will do what it takes to ensure satisfaction!
