Your dog's home away from home!

Pet care experience

My absolute greatest passion in life is working with dogs. Besides being an avid dog lover and animal lover in general, I feel that I have a genuine gift when caring for and working with our four legged friends. I have had quite extensive training with dog breeds, breed specific behaviors and traits, different play styles, body language, movements and mannerisms', vocalizations, and much more. I have had amazing results when working with and caring for especially anxious, timid, and uneasy dogs. Boarding and being away from home can be a trigger of anxiety for both humans and pets alike, and you can rest assured that your fur baby will be taken care of as if he or she were at home. I have over 4 years of job specific pet care and hands on extensive training as well as over 10 years of caring for and training my own pets.I currently work as a kennel techinican at a dog boarding, daycare, and training facility. I previously worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Ferndale, MI and I am forever thankful for the tools and vast knowledge that my coworkers and managers have provided me with. I took a lot of responsibility on in their newest addition; which was a playroom made especially for small dogs. When working there I was solely responsible for all of our boarders overall care, from meal preparation, medication administration, to boarding suite and kennel upkeep, group play time, overall health and wellbeing, and much more. I also had some exceptional results working in the main playroom with our larger breed dogs (and even our littles who insist they were another one of the big guys. ☺) When working with our larger dogs I was given the responsibility of caring for our youngsters, or puppies if you will, which as we know is a critical time, because this is when they are learning "how to be a dog." Behaviors and habits tend to stick with them throughout adulthood so a knowledgeable and patient caretaker and pack leader is necessary to set them up for success and give them the tools to become a thriving, happy, and well socialized adult. We thrived to be not only the best caretakers, but also assist the dogs in any behavioral issues or growing pains they may have; therefore, I was trained to recognize said issues and create and implement behavioral plans to set them up for success as well. Whether it be helping to cultivate your pups current skills and assisting with training tips, or simply giving top notch love and affection to your pets, I'm who I hope will be your "go to girl." I understand dogs on a deeper level than most, and out of the hundreds i have had the pleasure of working with, I have yet to meet one that has not become my buddy ☺ Traveling and finding sitters can be stressful enough, so let me help you take some of that stress away. You'll surely feel a sense of comfort knowing that your dog is in loving, caring, and knowledgeable hands!

Information Kelly C. would like to know about your pet

I love and am more than happy to provide care to dogs of ANY breed, size, or age. Before sitting a dog there are a few bits of useful information such as: 1.Has your dog been boarded/sitted for previously? 2. Age 3.Temperment- - -Has he or she ever had any issues or instances where they have shown aggression either towards other dogs and animals or towards humans 4.Does he or she have any special needs or accommodations- - -For instance, are they on any medications? Do they need more frequent potty breaks? Do they need extra excercise? ...and so on..

A typical day

While I do not have a fenced yard, I do have a very large yard with an extended tie-out line. The yard backs up to the woods, with gives me access to various walking trails. I truly enjoy being outdoors as often as possible and I am ALWAYS up for a game of fetch, frisbee, or even simply running around the back yard. I also enjoy applying things that I have learned throughout my years of pet care experience whenever possible, such as: basic leash manners and leash walking, basic training and obedience, which would include cues and commands such as: sits/stays/off/leave-it/down stays or lay down Some great indoor activities would include puzzle games and toys..which help excercise the mind as well as exerting your dog's energy when unable to do physical excercises. Other great mental and physical activities such as agility, balance board, cone/pole weaving and many more are not only a lot of fun, but a great chance for your furbaby to expand his or her konwledge and abilities.
