Kelly was wonderful with our Luna for the second time! We will continue to use Kelly for future needs.

Kelly was absolutely amazing with our Cooper! She made me feel completely comfortable from the moment we met and welcomed Cooper with open arms. Throughout his stay, she sent regular updates and adorable pictures, which gave us such peace of mind. She even recommended toys that he might enjoy, such a thoughtful gesture since we’ve struggled to find ones he likes. Kelly’s love for what she does truly shines through in the care she gave Cooper. We will absolutely be repeat customers!

Kelly took wonderful care of my dog, Jeze, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Jeze can be a bit particular about eating but Kelly went above and beyond and hand fed her. Kelly was patient, attentive, and clearly experienced with animals. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious that Jeze was happy and comfortable. I had total peace of mind while I was away, and I would absolutely trust Kelly again. Highly recommend!

Kelly was so great with our puppy Luna. We needed care within a short notice for a long weekend and Kelly was perfect. She took Luna to a dog park, took her on walks and spent lots of time with her. She was patient with her new puppy energy and we would definitely use Kelly again. Luna was sad to leave 😊

Kelly is wonderful and gifted woman. I was worried about leaving my dog with just anybody, but the minute I met Kelly I new in my heart I found a true dog lover and caring individual who could be trusted. Time has only proven her to so much more. When I'm in a true bind I can count on her or when I need to leave town last minute she is there for me. Barbra O.

Kelly is AMAZING! She has taken such good care of our lab, Riley, many times, both on short notice and planned in advance for vacations. She is responsible, reliable, caring and is truly a dog lover. She goes out of her way to make Riley feel loved - takes her for walks, talks to her, plays with her, and treats her as if she is her own. While on vacation, she calls us to let us know how Riley is doing so we don't have to worry. Most importantly, Riley LOVES her! I HIGHLY recommend Kelly!
