About Kelly C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for dogs in someone else’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, or favorite play activities—so the dogs feel comfortable and secure. I always give them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting the home by keeping things neat, tidy, and safe. My goal is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel at ease, knowing that their dogs are happy, cared for, and loved while they’re away.

Reliable Care from a Fellow Dog Mom
Pet care experience
I’m a mom of two, proud dog owner, and lifelong animal lover who understands just how important it is to know your pets are cared for like family when you’re away. With two dogs of my own, I know the joy of long walks, playtime, and snuggles—and I bring that same energy and love to every pet I care for. I balance my career in marketing with the things I enjoy most: playing pickleball, cheering on college football, hiking, and spending time outdoors in nature. I’m reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented, which means you can trust me to not only care for your pets but also look after your home with the same level of responsibility I give to my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pets company, I’d love to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away.
Reviews
Kelly is very easy to communicate with and I appreciate her flexibility regarding rescheduling my first daycare appointment. Her family is very warm and it makes me happy that my puppy can have more of a home/backyard experience rather than a kennel scenario to reinforce house training. She sent nice photos throughout the day. I especially liked how friendly and spunky her two doodles are because my 5mo puppy was running around playing with them after only a few minutes. I definitely will be asking Kelly to watch my puppy in the future.
Kelly is not only great with our furry family members, but she has a great personality for getting along with humans, as well. I'm very particular when it comes to who babysits my pets, and I would choose Kelly any day.
