Highly Experienced Dog Caretaker
Pet care experience
I have been working with dogs professionally for fifteen years at pet resorts, and as a dog groomer. I have managed an animal inn and grooming salon. I have experience with all breeds, and put safety and health above all else! I treat your dog like family and build loving bonds that will last their whole lives! I have cared for all ages, from taking care of puppies needs to making seniors comfortable in their golden years. I have helped special needs dogs go to the bathroom when they couldn't walk and have comforted dogs with disabilities. I have training in dog and cat first aid and CPR, and am well versed in dog body language. I would feel honored to be a part of your dog's life.
Reviews
There are not enough positive adjectives to describe Kelly. She seems to share an unspoken connection with any dog she meets, and has always treated my three with so much love, care and compassion. I have a 15 year old hound with terrible arthritis and not only does Kelly love on her like she was her own, she takes the utmost care to relieve pressure from her joints while grooming her. Kelly recently moved to a shop 45 minutes away from my house, but every other Saturday we load up the car and drive to see her for a nail grind. She is just that amazing!!! My fur babies and I absolutely adore her. There is nobody else in the world I would recommend as highly as Kelly when it comes to your pups!
Kelly is absolutely the best person I have ever met when it comes to instinctively knowing how an individual dog is feeling and how each one is it's own individual. She's very compassionate with animals and listens to the owners about each individual pet to insure that all will be well cared for and happy. (Including the owners). I loved working with her. If you use her services, you will not have to worry about your pets, even if you have a diabetic dog. (She has lots of experience with insulin shots, medicines and feeding schedules.)
Kelly is a true dog lover with extensive experience and knowledge in caring for fur babies. She kept our 2 pit bulls for a week while our family went on vacation. This was our first time ever leaving our dogs for more than a few hours. I was anxious about leaving them but Kelly made it easier because I knew our dogs would be very well taken care of. She even let us FaceTime our pups when we were missing them. Kelly allowed our dogs to become a part of her family for a week. When we went to pick them up after our vacation, our dogs were just as happy and healthy as they were before we left them. I think one of our dogs would have been quite content to stay with Kelly forever! I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone who needs any kind of pet services.
