Pet care experience

Your pets are my priority

Greetings! First - thank you for considering me and my services. I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been the proud parent of hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit! I'm also a responsible house sitter, having been both a homeowner and a renter, I understand the value of not just your pets, but your possessions, your mail and plants, the cozy space of your home, the relationships with your neighbors. I have provided these services for friends and families for most of my life. I have always loved animals and I have always owned pets, been a member of dog parks and puppy play groups, and I volunteered for the Champaign Humane Society for many years. I have also had pets with medication needs, so I am experienced in that area. For years I also groomed my own dogs, and I know that each pet has its own needs, preferences, and personalities. Finally, I recently lost my dog of 15 years, and although I now live somewhere that does not allow pets, I need animals in my life! From my own experience of being a Rover customer for many years, I also know how important it is to pet sit within your home with no disruption to your pet's routine or surroundings.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have been both a renter and homeowner, so I know how valuable your pets are, but also your cozy home, your plants, mail, and relationships with your neighbors. I have owned a bunny, hamsters, cats and dogs. But I also have an affinity for birds and reptiles. I have provided services for friends and family most of my life, now I just want to bring in a bit of extra cash to supplement social security. I'm also mainly a homebody, so if your home or your pets need extra care or a lot of time, I'm fully available.

Kelly was a great communicator. She sent us pictures/updates while we were away and left our home clean and tidy when she left. We definitely recommend her!

She did great with my corgi and catered to all his needs. She sent plenty of pictures and updated me throughout the entire weekend. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Kelly is definitely an animal person! She has taken care of my 3 dogs and they loved her. Kelly followed all my instructions and is trustworthy. I highly recommend her to take care of your pet.

Kelly would be a great Pet caregiver because she is very tentative to the animals needs. She would be focused on the schedule and making sure that everything is done correctly. She really loves dogs and cats and has had both for a long time. Kelly has a lot of love to give to any animals that she comes in contact with, she is very open and will make a wonderful Pet Caregiver. Thank you.
