Information Kelly A. would like to know about your pet

Each animal is as different as the next! Any information that you could provide on their disposition, triggers, good with children and/or other dogs, animals etc Is always very helpful. I have had some training experience and I have trained my own dogs for decades. I believe in positive reinforcement training and I'm always open to sharing whatever knowledge I have on animal issues!

A typical day

I'm very open to pet owners preferences on activities. I myself have been taking my dogs to dog parks for decades. I've developed strong friendships and even discussions about our various dogs, breeds and conditions that I may never had known had I not met these people. Some owners do not want their dogs at a dog park. And so playing fetch in a fenced yard or simply walking the neighborhood is always on my agenda!

Pet care experience

Good day! My name is Kelly and I have been fostering and adopting fur babies for almost 30 years. I am drawn to adopt seniors many with special needs. I currently have three babies, Kiki A. 16-year-old domestic shorthair cat, Sadie my 7-year-old beagle husky mix and Popeye who is a 9-year-old boxer mix. Sadie currently has epileptic seizures and takes medication and also has had anal issues and pancreatitis. Popeye I just adopted last year. He is a 9-year-old boxer mix with degenerative myelopathy or DM. He currently uses a wheelchair when we go walking or to the dog park! Being retired I am available for immediate needs as well. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to meet you and your fur family soon!

Hello Rover, I have known Kelly for over 15 years and her pups are her children. She brings them to the dog park daily and spends quality time with them, making sure they get their exercise, with care and safety, all while being aware of all other dogs at the park. As myself being a pet sitter/walker, Kelly has sat with my pups many times when I have been out of town and there are never any issues. She places her pets medical needs above everything else, providing them quality of life. She has adopted elder dogs that need to spend their final years, happily gaining quality of life with her. They are spoiled with treats and toys galore! I would not hesitate to recommend Kelly to watch or walk, any ones pets.
