Information Kelly & Dahl S. would like to know about your pet

We have little girls born Dec 2019 and Sept 2022, so I first of all need to be sure that your dog is comfortable around babies/ children, and that they will gentle with them. My girls are very gentle and good with dogs. They are very used to having them around since we do Rover a lot! I would like make sure they are fully potty-trained, know how often they need to be taken out to go potty, and their eating schedule and preferences. We usually try to mimic the sleeping arrangements they have at home, so I'd like to know what they are accustomed to there as well. I also would want to know their energy level, how loud they typically are, a general overview of their personality, and what activities they enjoy. Of course, I would like to know what their needs are as far as how much activity they need, and if they have any special needs that I should be aware of. Finally, I would love to know anything YOU want me to know about your dog and how you would like their stay with us to go.

A typical day

We love to take dogs on walks to the local park. Dogs would go on walks with us, or if it is too hot as it often is in AZ, we can also play inside. Fetch and tug of war are 2 of our favorite games! We have a shaded patio with misters for outside time when it is hot out. We have a fenced off section in our backyard just for the dogs we sit. My girls really like dogs and are good at playing nicely with them. We love to all cuddle on the couch with the dogs and really they just join our family while they are here :)

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Kelly, and my husband, Dahl, and I will both be primary dog watchers. I work from home full-time, and he works from home part time. Our young girls, Lily and Rosie, and our nanny, Nancy, will also be interacting with your dogs on a regular basis. They are sweet, calm girls who love dogs and do very well with them. We are flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, since I work from home, so someone is here almost all of the time. We have watched many dogs for friends over the years, and this seemed like a great way to expand on that. I love dogs, and my favorite dog- sitting experience was when my neighbor needed someone to watch her puppy during the day while she worked. I picked him up in the morning and dropped him off at night. I helped train him and just loved on him all day. I was a second mom to him, and we still get very excited to see each other. I often watch him when his parents are out of town now. My husband had a dog for 9 years growing up, and also loves dogs. We are so excited to meet your fur-babies!!

Got me in on short notice which was appreciated. Recieved daily pictures/videos with notes on my dog was doing. Very friendly and I would recommend them for anyone's pet sitting needs!

I am always nervous about leaving my Goldie with someone. But Kelly and Dahl sent videos and photos of Goldie and she was so happy. I can tell they really love dogs and have a loving home!

I can’t recommend Kelly and family enough! They did such a fantastic job of providing nurturing and safe energy to my pups. They genuinely care about animals and your babies will be loved…not just boarded!
