I have a privacy fenced yard and 4 sweet pups of my own to keep your dog(s) company. My property has multiple video cameras for security and I can send you photos and videos while you are away or FaceTime with you so you can see your babies are having fun and being well taken care of and loved. I understand pet care very well as I have had 8 fur babies previous to the 4 I have currently from big dogs to little dogs. I am very aware of changes in behavior or if fur babies aren’t feeling well and will communicate with you if I think your baby is not feeling well.

Information Kelly D. would like to know about your pet

I have a fenced in yard that your dog(s)can run and play in or just lay under a tree and relax. I have 4 dogs of my own who love to run and play and are always eager to meet new friends.

I am reliable, loving, and attentive, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away. I feel pets are part of the family and I do allow them on my furniture and give lots of snuggles and kisses.

Your fur babies will be my top priority and I promise to care for them like they are my own.

I can't say enough good things about Kelly. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing and asked thoughtful questions regarding her care. I felt 100% sure Clementine was safe and cared for while I was out of town and having that security made things SO MUCH easier. I love knowing that while I'm busy she's being doted on and playing all day with her new buddies. Thank you Kelly!

I can’t recommend Kelly enough! 🐶 She and her amazing dog pack were so friendly and welcoming, Braylon had an absolute blast! Kelly kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear how much fun he was having. Since Braylon has a health condition, she made sure he took his medication on time and cared for him so thoughtfully. We’re so grateful to have found her and her wonderful dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future! ❤️

What can we say? Kelly was our lifesaver. Not able to drop our dogs off at a kennel anymore due to one of them being diabetic, Kelly was the perfect match for us and our dogs. She was great by sending us regular updates and photos while we were on a five night cruise. We felt so much better knowing our pugs were in very caring hands. We highly recommend Kelly for pet sitting and pet boarding!

This was my first experience with a dog sitter and it could not have been better. Kelly was very communicative and I can tell she really cares about the dogs. I was pleased that she was willing to show me inside her house and the backyard, both were an aspirational level of clean and safe. I got photos of my girl throughout the day which was reassuring. I'm pleased to say I barely worried at all and I will 100% be using Kelly's services in the future.
