Information Kelly C. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

While walking dogs, I keep in mind that the walks are for them, and I try to keep their routes interesting and as varied as possible, unless the owner has a specific request otherwise. I believe that the dog’s safety is of the upmost importance, so I so carefully scan my surroundings whenever I’m out and about with my dog clients.

Excited to Meet Your Furry Friend!

Pet care experience

*First time Rover clients, please ask about my coupon code for $20 off your first booking!* Greetings! Hello, my name is Kelly and I am a life long animal whisperer, cat cuddler and dog lover extraordinaire who is excited to meet your best friend and family member. As an animal person, I love to nurture and take care of creatures big and small. I am currently offering daily, weekly and as needed dog walking/ drop-in visits and cat sitting services in the Royal Oak, Clawson and surrounding areas. I am the proud owner of two beautiful retired racing greyhounds, so my specialty is in caring for this unique breed. I am also the owner of one very gregarious cat. As a pet owner, I understand the seriousness of caring for pets and I understand the trust involved in allowing someone to care for your beloved friend. My professional background is in social work (20 plus years) and with my animal care experience, I am a modern day animal social worker, of sorts. I'm quite intuitive and empathic when it comes to working with cats and dogs and I consider it a privilege to care for them. I understand that many pets need patience, kindness and time to warm up to strangers. I have the sensitivity to handle special needs cats and dogs with tender loving care, including senior pets and administering pills, oral medications, topicals and insulin shots for cats. While at your home, I’m happy to bring in your mail, bring your garbage and recycling bins up to the house and water your plants upon request, at no additional charge. As an animal advocate, I'm a proud supporter of Greyheart Greyhound Adoption, Paws with a Cause, Paws for Life, Backdoor Friends Feline Rescue, Huron Valley Humane Society, the Michigan Humane Society and individual cats, dogs and critters who I meet along the way (and the ones who literally show up at my doorstep)! My promise is to take care of your pets like they are my very own. I am happy to provide references upon request. Pet photography has been a life long passion of mine so in addition to the services offered above, I will send you individual photos of your pet during each visit. Thank you so much and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! ~Kelly

We had a wonderful time on vacation thanks to Kelly! We trusted our kitties were in good hands. She kept us updated with photos, and I think she made a lifelong friend with one of our kitties in particular. We would love to hire Kelly in the future!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
