Reliable + Loving Dog Care

Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, playtime, or a calm and attentive sitter while you're away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. **I also offer yard freedom for all my furry friends, as our home sits on .25 acres of fenced in yard, a sought after haven for those high energy babies who love to get their zoomies in!** I understand that every dog is unique, so I always take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and energy levels. From energetic walks and games to relaxed companionship, I tailor my care to what your dog needs most. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your furry friend is doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and work hard to build trust with both pets and their owners. I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and help make their days happier while you’re busy or away!

Kelly did an awesome job with Scout! He was very sad to leave her and her 2 Goldens!. She did a great job keeping us updated and taking such great care of him. Would recommend 100 percent and also use her again!

Kelly was absolutely amazing with Rori! From the moment we met her, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She was communicative, attentive, and loved Rori like she was her own! Kelly kept me updated throughout the stay with texts, photos and videos. She made the whole experience stress-free. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can truly trust with my dog. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter on Rover.

Kelly took excellent care of our dog and he had tons of fun! She sent pics and videos daily to let us know how he was doing. Highly recommend and would allow her to keep our furry friend again.

Schedule

I am a SAHM, so caring for dogs and cats can easily be built into my schedule! My little one loves animals, so taking him along or introducing him to someone new is always exciting, he also enjoys playing with them! We do love backpacking on trails, so there is no limit to the care and fun I can provide.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide safe, attentive, and loving care whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. Since I have animals of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and I treat every animal like part of the family. For **boarding in my home**, I create a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and follow a routine similar to what they’re used to. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and a safe space to rest. For **house sitting in a client’s home**, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I also help keep the home tidy and make sure pets feel secure while their owner is away. For **dog walking**, I make sure each walk is safe, fun, and suited to the dog’s energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk or a slower sniff-and-explore pace, I tailor the walk to their needs. For **drop-in visits**, I stop by to feed pets, refresh water, clean litter boxes or potty areas, provide playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. No matter the service, I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

I’m a very active person, so there’s no limit to the type of fun we can/will have! I’m also very aware that dogs use their noses to experience their surroundings so stop, sniff and go walks will be our thing! Fetching til they can’t fetch anymore…the list goes on and on. If boarding in my home, you can expect a lot of outdoor play time in a pretty big backyard! You just let me know what your baby loves the most and I’ll be sure to incorporate it into our playtime 💚

Before accepting a booking through Rover, it’s important for me to understand key details about your pet so I can provide safe and comfortable care. Please let me know your pet’s feeding schedule, potty routine, exercise needs, and any medications or health conditions I should be aware of. I also like to know about their personality, including how they do with strangers, other pets, and any triggers such as loud noises or separation anxiety. Information about sleeping arrangements, house rules, and anything they are not allowed to do is helpful as well. Lastly, please share your vet information and an emergency contact so I’m fully prepared in case anything unexpected happens while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
