Safety, trust & environment

I tend to do house stays the most, I like to keep them on the schedules they are used to and provide any extra support they might need while you're away. I've owned and cared for pets and farm animals my whole life so I think I'm ready for just about anything.

Information Kellie M. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed or size preferences, I love all dogs, big to small to giant sized puppers. I'd love to know what your puppy eats, how much and how often. Do they have any dietary restrictions? Medications that they take? Potty preferences, where and how often do they like to go? What kind of temperment do they have, are they a Lazy Lassie or a Boundful Bowzer?

A typical day

I love taking pups on walks through their home neighborhood but also love getting dogs socialization at local Dog Parks, Keizer Rapids is my favorite as it is fully fenced for your pet's safety. I'd love to learn what your pet's favorite type of play is; do they go gaga for balls and sticks, tussling with a toy or pulling on a rope I'd love to find out what they enjoy.

I'll love them as if they were mine

Pet care experience

(They/Them) I have over 30 years of experience with a wide variety of dogs and dog breeds starting at the young age of 8 with my first dog sitting gig. I had felt so grown up, getting a neighbor's keys, taking their dog out for walks and feedings, it proved to my parents I was ready for a dog of my own. I currently have a Husky named Sonja and a Great Dane called Mouse. I also have over 30 years experience with horses, both as a rider and an instructor; I think this gives me a leg up on the competition as I'm able to care for all types of animals without being overwhelmed by their size. Your pets would receive the finest care from me; I would love them as though they were my own. I also can take care of your cats and small fur babies as well. I have had smaller pets like birds, ferrets, hamsters, fish and guinea pigs. I'm not squeamish and don't shy away from hard work. One of my many philosophies in life is it all you need is a dog's kiss to make nearly everything better. So please let me help you give your pet the care they deserve. Your pet is a member of your family and I will treat them as though they are a member of mine, I will give them top service care, love and the exercise they need while you're away on vacation or just at work. I understand that it's hard to be away from your babies and you would receive photos and video, whichever you prefer, to show your pet having a grand time with me.

Kellie is amazing. Within hours of arriving she had bonded with both of our dogs, sending us pictures and videos which let us know that our pets and house were in good hands and we could relax and enjoy our trip. She clearly loves animals, is very professional in her approach to this work, and is fun and easy to work with.

Kelly was an amazing dog nanny. I felt reassured having them with my pups and getting their message updates while we were out of town. They were professional, kind and easy to communicate with. Very much appreciate the quality care for our beloved dogs from someone who clearly loves dogs as much as we do.

Kellie was awesome. I was nervous to leave my pup while we were away and they made sure I was updated on all of her daily habits and activities! Lots of photos and messages helped to ease my mind while we were away. I felt like my sweet girl was safe and happy. Would definitely book again!

Kellie is amazing. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. My fur babies love her. I have known Kellie for years and I know I can trust her in my home with my babies. Highly recommended.
