Teacher Who Loves Dogs!

I rescued a straight haired golden doodle four years ago. The transition from shelter to home was very tough to navigate, but with persistence, training, and kindness, our pup has grown to be an incredible, well rounded dog. I’ve also grown up with 3 chocolate labs. I have a passion for helping others and that includes animals! I have been walking a corgi and labradoodle in the area as well as some of their neighbours dogs. I’ve been known as the dog walker in that complex! These dogs have stayed with me on a few occasions as well. I feel comfortable with anxious dogs, dogs that pull, bark, and whatever else may be needed. ** please note that I am available all day starting end of May when I am on summer break - until then, I can do early mornings or anytime after 4 PM or the weekends **

Kelly was wonderful with our dog and provided many extra walks (despite the high heat days) and lots of photos sent to us. Her dog was a great companion for our dog. I highly recommend Kelly!

I had the pleasure of working with Kelly and I can confidently say they are fantastic with dogs! With years of experience, they really understand how to care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My dog absolutely loved their time with Kelly, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable hands. Kelly is professional, reliable, and truly passionate about animals. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and loving dog sitter or walker. You won’t be disappointed

Schedule

I am a teacher so I am away during the day. I do wake up early and spend my afternoons outdoors due to being stuck inside all day in my classroom. I would love to help you and your animal out! I have summers and weekends completely open as well.

A typical day

I love to go on longer walks, play with the dogs, and cuddle them! I can help with stimulating them as well by using some commands I’ve learned in training.
