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.
Reviews
As always Kellie makes it possible for us to travel away. It’s so nice to know our pets are well taken care of. Never an issue, tons of pictures to check in and open communication.
We are so grateful to find a sitter like Kellie. We have never left the pups for a long period of time and she was great with them. Kept us posted on daily notes and pictures. We already have two more visits planned for Kellie. Thank you Kellie for what you did for Maggie and Sadie.
Thank you for taking care of our dogs and cats. We have a rather large brood and Kellie treats them like they are her own. She sends updates, pictures, and videos while we are away which makes me rest easy that they are fed, cared for, and get lots of love and attention. Thank you Kellie!
Kellie was awesome! She exudes confidence and her love of all animals, is obvious. We received numerous photos and videos to let us know, everyone was content! She is in high demand, but we would absolutely use her services in the future!

Skills
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.

Kellie can watch in your home
Availability
I work from home and am able to stay with your pets 24/7 if need be. I want to make sure that your pets are kept on the same routine they are used to, so they feel safe and calm with a new friend staying with them while you're away.
