Pets are Family🐶🐈‍⬛

Pet care experience

My name is Kelly and I love animals. I always tell people that if I ever had a windfall of money, I would buy land and run a rescue. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. My pets are not animals, they are members of the family. I currently own 2 dogs and 3 cats. I would rather be surrounded by animals, rather than people. I am a loving and responsible pet owner, looking to expand my business. I have always trained my own dogs. My dog Damon is trained to respond to hand signals, as well as verbal commands. I believe all dogs can be trained with firm words, patience and lots of love and treats. Both my dogs will be excited when you come to visit, but they are just happy to have new friends come visit!! After being around you and your dog for a little while, Damon and Teddy will be their normal happy, affectionate and playful selves. I would not provide services in my home if I didn’t have 100% confidence in my dogs behavior and temperament. Would love an opportunity to share my love and compassion for animals with you and your fur babies. I had established repeat clients when I lived in Dubuque, but since moving to Iowa City, and with Covid, I haven’t had much luck re-establishing myself. I would love it if you would give us a chance. The only thing I am absolutely firm on is that your pet must be 100% chill when it comes to being around my three cats. Thank you.

Kelly treated my dog as one of her own! She took him on walks, made him a special Sunday breakfast, and let him play in the kiddie pool with her 2 other dogs all weekend. I will absolutely be rebooking with her if I ever need boarding services in the future.

Kelly took care of our furbaby, Kali. I thought her and her daughter, Emily, did a fantastic job. We met a day before the dates Kelly was going to dog sit. We introduced Kali to Kelly's furbabies Damon and Roxy. Kali hit it off great with the two of them. I was a little worried as Kali is a very small dog. She did just fine! I wrote out Kali's schedule (as a guideline). Kelly took such care and compassion in making sure Kali felt at home. I also received pictures a few times a day and a video. This made me feel so happy with my decision to have Kelly dog sit for us. Thank you Kelly and Emily in taking care of Kali. I cannot wait to have you watch her for us again!

Kelly is great with our two dogs. She does walks for us a couple days a week. She also watched our dogs when we went out of town. She genuinely loves animals and it shows!!
