I love all furry animals!
Pet care experience
I've had cats for 17 years and my family had a dog until she passed when I was 5. I currently have cats and rats. I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injected medication to cats and oral medication to rodents. In the past, I've had to syringe-feed my cats when they were ill. I walked my neighbors' small and large dogs when I was in high school. I started fostering for the Humane Rescue Alliance last year. I fostered 3 kittens with numerous medical needs and a nursing cat. I also took a class on subcutaneous fluid injection. I'm comfortable with cats, dogs, and rodents. I'm open to caring for other exotic animals provided I receive detailed care instructions from the owner(s). No snakes or spiders, sorry! I love extra large dogs and I’m willing to walk them provided that they are well-trained and don’t pull too much while walking on a leash. Update 4/29/24: I no longer accept requests to care for doodles or corgis. Thank you for understanding.

Kelli was fantastic as always! She is so understanding about the cats needs and the fact that she knows the processes for our home makes booking with her a breeze!

I will ensure dogs don't eat things they find on the street during walks. I always check that doors are fully closed to keep pets from escaping the home.
Home
Information Kelli Y. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if a dog has a bite history and how strong their prey drive is. Are they reactive to other dogs? Is there a sound or object that they really dislike, like kids yelling or plastic bags?
A typical day
I'd take your dog wherever you think is best. Is there a dog park nearby they love? Do they prefer city walks or going to a park?
