A Quiet, Loving Home for Your Dog

My husband and I understand how difficult it can be to find trustworthy, high-quality pet care for a beloved family member. Having cared for our own dogs through every stage of life—including senior years and vision loss—we know that every dog has unique needs and deserves patience, compassion, and individualized attention. After losing our two cherished pups, we're not quite ready to welcome another dog of our own, but we deeply miss the joy and companionship that dogs bring. That's why we open our home to a limited number of pets and provide the kind of care we would want for our own family members. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervision, and affection throughout the day. We have no children and no resident pets, creating a calm, low-stress environment. We also only care for one family's dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives truly personalized care. Our goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving home where your dog feels comfortable, secure, and treated like family while you're away.

Kellie was wonderful. She and Joe were our first non-family overnight care givers for Petey. Let me just say WONDERFUL ! Excellent communication, pictures and reassuring texts. We won’t hesitate to arrange a sleepover when needed and you shouldn’t either. Thank you Kellie and Joe.

Kellie was absolutely wonderful with Barley! He has separation anxiety, so we’re always a little nervous leaving him, but Kellie put us completely at ease. She was so sweet and attentive with him, she even took him to the pet store and got him bones and toys to keep him happy. You can tell she and her husband genuinely love love love dogs; their home was beautiful and clearly set up for dogs to feel comfortable and cared for. Thanks to Kellie, we got to actually relax on our trip knowing Barley was in the best hands. Highly, highly recommend her. we’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Excellent care for my fur baby! This was my first time leaving her with anyone, I was really nervous but once I met Kellie I felt more comfortable and after picking her up I will definitely use Kellie in the future anytime I need someone to watch her.

This charming couple and their two adorable chihuahuas took such excellent care of Roxie :) Their love of dogs was written all over them. Kellie sent pics of Rox cozy on their couch, and treated her as though she was their own. I highly recommend Kellie, and will definitely seek her to take care of my girl next time I'm in Frederick. Thank you SO MUCH! CHEERS!

Kellie did a great job caring for Tobie. She has good experience with dogs that require special needs. I received photos with updates during his stay.

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy a safe, calm, and loving environment with plenty of personalized attention. Since I work from home full-time, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I only care for one family's dog at a time, so your pet receives my full attention. Having cared for senior and special-needs dogs, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making each dog feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and loved in my home while you are away. Before any stay, I like to learn as much as possible about your dog, including their personality, energy level, routine, and temperament around other dogs and people. During our meet and greet, we can discuss any medical needs, medications, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, favorite activities, and, of course, where your dog prefers to sleep. Every dog is unique, and understanding their routine helps me provide the best possible care and make their stay as stress-free as possible. The more I know about your dog beforehand, the better I can provide a loving, personalized experience while giving you peace of mind during your time away.
