I am semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule. The job I have now only requires that I have internet access, so I am able to work from just about anywhere. I spend the summer months in the Pacific Northwest and the rest of the year traveling from Southern California to Key West and up through the Carolinas.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to follow client's instructions and respect your pet's routines and expectation. I know that love is just as important as fresh water and a regular feeding schedule. I'll take the time to make sure chins are scratched, tummies are rubbed, balls are thrown, and time spent just loving on them is prioritized.

Information Kelly B. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how they normally react to new people (namely me) when their "parents" aren't around; if they are prone to running off; any triggers they may have (thunder, loud noises, other animals, etc.); and if they have separation anxiety. It's always best to be prepared for any scenario.

A typical day

I love to play rough with dogs. If they have a ball or favorite toy - I'm all-in for a good game of fetch... or chase... I prefer a dog be confined to a yard (scooping available) or other no leash areas. If a dog requires walking - I'll take the owner's suggestions for where and how. Of course, there will be snuggles and loves all along the way.

Kelly was amazing! This was the longest we have ever said away from our animals and Kelly made sure to update us everyday all day long! She did new activities with our dog and spoiled her just as much as we do😂 our cat even loved her and our cat is kindy picky 😂 we will 100% use her again!

Kelly was all we expected + more. I cannot recommend her enough. For us, it was our first time using her and will not be the last. Before I could ask myself, she offered a meet and greet that was very personable. We won’t hesitate to reach out for future dates. 5 star sitter 😊

Kelly was amazing and I will absolutely use her again. I received daily updates about all of my animals and home as well. When I returned everything was neat , vacuumed and she washed her bedding she used! i felt so comfortable with her and I never worried about anything while I was away for work.

Kelly is an excellent dog sitter and a truly nice person. She took great care of our very old needy dog. Taco warmed up to her quickly and I could tell that he was very comfortable with her. He can be a bit standoffish if he isn't sure of someone but that was not the case with Kelly. He looked happy in all the pictures we received. She even took him golf cart riding which is one of his favorite things. An added bonus is that Kelly is an outgoing and has great communication skills which I value when away from Taco. Also we were bringing family members home for a visit and the house was just as I left it. A++
