Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover by nature
Growing up, my family always had a dog & at least one cat in our household. So pet caretaking feels like second nature to me, and I've had experience caring for animals of all different ages from young puppies/kittens through to their final days. I rescued my last dog when he was about 1 year old, and I originally started pet-sitting on Rover to entertain him while I worked from home. In his last couple years, he was diagnosed with Cushing's Syndrome which required daily medication and close frequent monitoring by a specialist. I also have experience administering insulin injections & IV fluids in both cats and dogs. My current dog, Jasper, was rescued 12/24/2022. I took a break from Rover for several months while he acclimated to his new home and we worked on basic behavioral training, to make sure he could be the best-behaved young pup host possible! Previously residing in the quiet residential neighborhood of Cobble Hill in Brooklyn for 14 years, then upstate in Beacon, now with my husband in Glen Spey. We have 6 acres of private woods with several trails that dogs love to explore with us. I also have a pet-friendly personal vehicle for pick-ups/drop-offs when required.

Ratings and reviews
Kelly was fantastic! Our older cockapoo Brody spent July 4th at Kelly's home going for walks on her large property while making some new friends. We were sent photos and updates during the day. We felt very at ease leaving our boy in her hands! Highly recommend. Thank you, and see you next time!
Bagel loves Kelly!!
Kelly is by far our favorite rover and always our first choice. We used to live in the same town but even driving an hour some times to drop Parker off with her for extended stays is more than worth it. We get plenty of updates while we’re away and Parker always comes home exhausted. Her favorite thing to do is hunt critters and I’m sure there’s no shortage of them on the property. She also has a huge window she can stare out of from the couch. It’s her favorite vacation spot. We have so much trust in Kelly!
Kelly took such amazing care. Thank you - we’ll be back :)
Kelly is awesome! Responsive, on time, and our dog Fred loves her. Leaves great notes and takes pictures of the walks. Our go to dog walker!
Our dog loves being outside so it was great that Kelly has a fenced in yard. He had a great time with her dog Jasper!

Schedule
I am a self-employed remote worker with a very flexible daytime schedule. So I'm able to accommodate pets of all different needs or temperaments, and I often multitask by taking calls while on walks or tossing a toy around in the backyard.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard for pets to roam free when needed, and several rooms to keep pups separated or crated if the need arises.

A typical day
First thing in the morning, Jasper runs a bit outside in the backyard, then we go on a walk around the property. After our walk, he gets breakfast (he's fed 2x daily). There's always at least one large bowl full of water available in the home at all times. We typically take another walk in the early afternoon, and again around sunset. He has free roam to the backyard and I take several short breaks throughout the work day to play out some of the puppy energy.
