Pet care experience

Caring for your pup like family!

I am an experienced caregiver taking care of pets for over 25 years. I especially love dogs and believe they bring so much joy to us all. I enjoy developing trust with animals and establishing meaningful bonds. I put their health and well-being first and will take care of your pup like they were my own! Please note: I do require a minimum stay of 2 nights for all bookings, and I try to only book one pet per stay so they get all my attention.

Kelly was absolutely perfect. Our Merlin was a recently adopted rescue and we were concerned about leaving him with anyone. We shouldn't have been. Kelly was so calm and calming that she had him settled in no time. There is no doubt in my mind that she was the best possible choice of dog care providers for us.

Kelly took Milo for almost 2 weeks and it could not have gone better. Milo can be high energy but Kelly embraced this and allowed Milo to have a good stay and allowed us to relax knowing he was in good hands. When we need help again, Milo will be looking forward to it.

Kelly was awesome! My dog Luna has only been with a sitter a few times and this was the longest. Kelly let us do a meet and greet first which we appreciated. We felt very comfortable with Kelly and Luna did too. The regular updates and pictures while we were gone really helped ease our minds. Kelly took her for lots of walks, car rides and even up to the lake. I think Luna had a great time! We will definitely use Kelly again. Highly recommend!

Kelly thank you so much for taking amazing care of Bella! We appreciate all of the snuggles and love that you gave to her. It was such a great vacation because I didn't have to worry about Bella. We will definitely use your services again next year when we go to Maine.
