All animals welcome!

Pet care experience

I provide in home and outdoor professional level care for your furry and not so furry (snakes, fish, parrots etc.) family. I know every pet has its own personality and needs; I can make specific arrangements to accomodate. I have raised pets my whole life, including dogs and cats to hamsters, birds, and rabbits. My home doesn't feel complete without them. I had the pleasure of working for John Ball Zoo for several summers, handling and feeding a wide range of animals such as owls, ferrets, snakes, sting rays and ducks. I've also volunteered at the St. Huberts Animal Welfare Center, looking after cats and cleaning up for dogs. I've even helped corral alpaca for sheering. So in short, I'm experienced in the care for animals of all types and don't mind getting my hands dirty to take care of them. Big and small, I care for them all.

Kelly is an absolute gem. She is so reliable and saved my life when my original cat sitter had fell through a few weeks before I was leaving the country for 6 weeks. Kelly came to the rescue with her availability during the holiday season. She gave thorough updates on my cat, Sunny, who has an history of urinary issues and left me so reassured while I was halfway across the world on his health and wellbeing. Definitely will be hiring her again and would definitely reccomend her to others!

Kelly was an absolute godsend! She's very attentive and caring, followed the instructions for taking care of my sassy cat, and provided me with awesome updates and photos everyday. I got sick on my trip, and it was a blessing not to have to worry if my cat was alright knowing that Kelly was taking care of her. Would recommend her services to anyone!

A typical day

I love giving dogs enriching walks with plenty of sniffing experiences. I use treats to build trust with cats and gradually introduce engaging playtime with string toys once they're comfortable.
