Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Kelly, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver who understands that every animal is unique. I have my own dog, and know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet like family. I’ve spent years walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from high energy pups to more cautious or reactive dogs who need a calm, patient approach. I’m confident handling a wide range of personalities and always tailor my care to what makes each pet feel safest and happiest. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter for over 12 years. During that time, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, including seniors and puppies, as well as animals with medical conditions, behavioral challenges, and special needs. This has given me a strong understanding of animal body language, proper handling techniques, and how to respond thoughtfully in different situations. Whether your pet needs a fun, active walk or gentle, attentive care, I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience every time. I treat every animal as if they were my own and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours!

Kelly is the best! Our dog cheddar adores her, she is prompt and professional and caring, and we love the little written recaps she provides about her walks with our sweet cheddar!

I have known Kelly for 11 years,d she is the most loving and trustworthy person you could choose to care for your pet. Her genuine love for pets is clear to everyone, she is the person who stops people on the street just to pet their dogs. I never hesitate to leave my own pets in her care; she is highly reliable and doesn't really need instructions. Kelly’s experience, including caring for her elderly dog, Mia, and a dog who battled cancer, means she is well-versed in special needs and medical care. She will always put your dog's needs above her own. You can fully trust her to provide expert and loving care

Kelly has been a trusted dog sitter for us, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly! I’ve always had some anxiety leaving our dog. She is very high energy and now, as a senior, has additional needs. Kelly consistently puts us at ease. She takes the time to ensure our dog is well cared for and gets the extra attention she needs. Kelly is communicative, flexible, and reliable, and she always keeps us updated with photos, which we really appreciate!
