Pet care experience

Hello my name is Kellie and I work full time in tech. I grew up in Texas and lived on a farm during the summer months. I have owned dogs from a very young age, with 30 yrs experience raising and caring for them. Over my life time, My personal dogs included my 3 mini dachshunds, 1 German shepherd, 1 poodle, 2 Boston terriers, 1 jack russell/schnauzer, 1 chihuahua, and 1 lab/Great Dane. All the pics are dogs I’ve personally owned (with the exception of the guide dog in training). After I was laid off from my finance job in 2008, I opened and ran my own pet care startup for 5 yrs. While in Austin, I frequently volunteered for Guide Dogs for the Blind. Recently I went back into the corporate world where my job allows me to work from home full-time. I am home on the weeknights and weekends. I, myself, own one black lab/Great Dane. She’s 9 yrs old and great with small and large dogs. My dogs are my children and I will value your dogs just the same. My home has over four dogs beds, lots of blankets and water bowls. Since my couch is covered, they’re more than welcome to cuddle on the couch with me. Requirements: 1. Your dog's fave food. Suggestions: 1. Dog blanket/bed, treats, Whatever makes your dog feel comfortable.

Kellie is just the best she looked after our spoilt dachshunds so well, plenty of photos, leaving us free to enjoy our holiday. Thanks so much!

Kellie took in my two shibas for 5 days. She was very accommodating for me and the pups to meet with her beforehand. She sent status updates and photos daily. One of my pups is a covid puppy with pretty bad separation anxiety and the other is getting old and is scared of a lot of things. I really appreciated her transparency and responsiveness.

Kellie was not feeling well before the stay but didn't cancel the booking. We really appreciated that because a last-minute cancellation would cause us tons of hassle before the vacation. Both Pom and Snow were happy and taken good care of during the stay. Highly recommend Kellie!

Kellie was great! She watched Darwin while we were out of town for ~a week for Thanksgiving. While leaving him for so long was tough, Kellie took great care of him and sent tons of photos throughout the stay. She was incredibly responsive and we will definitely book again!

Feel free to ask questions. I tend to bypass any dog parks just to avoid any unforeseen events. Happy to provide full transparency. Additionally would be happy to remove any cords or pull rugs if the pups nervously chew or have the occasional accident in the house. Please just let me know and I’m more than happy to accommodate.

Information Kellie K. would like to know about your pet

I am more than happy to accommodate dogs and their special needs. Upfront discussions are really important and it’s my pleasure to ensure the safety of your loved one. 1. Feeding schedule? 2. Vaccinations? 3. Flea treatment? 4. Potty schedule?

A typical day

I really love walking dogs, it’s mentally stimulating and it keeps us both fit and happy. A tired dog is a happy and calm dog. Doggie visitors can sit wherever they like and lots of cuddles are always given (if they’re comfortable)
