Compassionate Care for Your BFF

Pet care experience

From the tiniest Teacup Poodles to the the 200 pound Great Danes, I'll provide compassionate and playful care for any pup. I have experience handling horses, working in pet supply stores and owning and training my own dogs. I'm a fan of even the feistiest terriers, the strong willed working breeds, the playful puppies, the couch potatoes, and the slow-paced seniors. My decade-long, hands-on experience with animals has given me the skills I need to understand dog behavior allowing me to give your dog a positive experience every time. With this understanding I'm able to make smart decisions and avoid issues even with difficult-to-train breeds and undersocialized or leash-aggressive dogs. I’m currently only accepting new clients for dog walking. I am open for shorter walks around you neighborhood or longer treks for more active pups. My own dog Barley, a very gentle one year old lab/ blue heeler mix is always available to join us if your dog likes company or could benefit from the socialization. I have experience using and fitting Easy Walk and Sensation harnesses, Gentle Leader and Halti head collars, as well as plastic and metal prong and choke chains. If your dog uses any of these, you can be confident that I will always use these tools gently and appropriately.

Kelly has been dog-sitting for us for the last five years. We have no qualms entrusting our dog and our house with her while we're on vacation. Our dog loves her -- she has so much experience with dogs of her own that I sometimes think he's better behaved when we return. I would highly recommend her!

Kelly Brothers has been our house, dog and cat sitter for several years. Whenever we go out of town, there is no one else we let stay in our home and take care of our beloved animals. Kelly is, without-a-doubt, the most conscientious, true and prompt person I know. If she says she'll be here at 9:30, see's here at 9:30. Our dog, Mushu, gets so excited when he sees Kelly -- he knows he's going to have so much fun with her, whether in our home, out on a walk, or when she takes him to work with her. He obeys her and loves her to pieces! Kelly is also very responsible with our house. We trust her completely with our valuables, both animate and inanimate. She brings in the mail, changes the sheets when she leaves, has clean towels in the bathroom when we return, the kitchen is spotless -- she is truly a gem. There is no one else we would exalt this type of recommendation for your company. Hiring her will be one of the best decisions you have ever made. Please call me if you would like more, because I can go on and on about her!

Safety, trust & environment

I will always cater walks to your pet’s needs. Whether that’s a shorter walk close to home or a longer trek outside the neighborhood. A walk will always look like whatever you and your pet are most comfortable with.

Information Kelly B. would like to know about your pet

What is your dog like on leash? Do you have an adventure pup or one who'd prefer to stick to a routine? I'll do what make you and your pooch most comfortable.

A typical day

Does your dog have a favorite place to walk or play? I'd love to take them to Shollenberger Park for a flat sunny walk or Hellen Putnam for a more rigorous hike (flea and tick treatment strongly preferred but don't worry, I'm a pro at post-hike tick inspection and removal).
