Highlights
Pet care experience
I’ll treat your pets like family!
I have never lived a day in my 40 years of life without a dog. Currently, I share my home with 5 rescue dogs from four countries...from 4lbs to 50lbs. I have worked at doggie day cares, with rescue organizations dealing with dogs during disasters, and fostered puppies as young as a day old for local shelters. While I work mostly with wildlife professionally, my love of dogs is a way of life for me - and I would love to share that with your pup today! I work mostly from home and I'm looking for extra income, and what could be more perfect than working with dogs! I have experience in obedience training, agility, reactive and aggressive dogs, small and large breeds, and giving medication.

Kelly also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and welfare is my highest priority. My professional experience in animal welfare and rescue helps me identify any concerns early and quickly communicate with you and decide the best course of action. I know what it’s like to place your animals in the trust of someone else and how anxiety-ridden that can be. I promise to treat your pets like my own, which means like family. This goes for your home as well.
Ratings and reviews
Kelly was wonderful!!
Kelly was amazing!! She took the time to get to know Layla and work through some nervousness on her first day. When you are traveling and things at home are not under your control, knowing Kelly was going to make sure Layla was taken care of. I cannot say enough how much that put my mind to rest!!!!
Amazing as always!!!
Kelly is amazing. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She is thoughtful and courteous and you can just tell that she loves animals and that they love her right back. I think our girls were a little disappointed to see us come through the door after our vacation instead of her!!! 😉 We look forward to working with her in the future! Thanks, Kelly for making our vacation even better! Roxy and Emma miss you already.
Great experience with Kelly ! Communication was excellent, and I received regular updates and photos that put me at ease. My dogs were well cared for. Reliable, professional, and clearly loves animals—I’d definitely book again.
Kelly was outstanding! She took such great care of our pup and we felt so lucky to have her helping us this week. We will definitely hire her again!
