Kelly is the greatest!! We were so concerned that we'd never find someone that could handle our border collie Stella. After three days away we came home to a content, happy dog who said she is in love with Kelly!

Dog Walking • Jul 29, 2025

Kelly did a great job taking my two energetic dogs out for walks. She clearly cares very much for animals and radiates a trustworthy energy. Highly recommend especially for those with high energy / working breeds.

Kelly is great with animals! She is very friendly and approachable - my cat loves her! Kelly always reads and follows the instructions for feeding my cat and turtles. I know that I can trust Kelly to make sure my pets are taken care of when I am away from home!

Schedule

I currently work full time from my home and can offer brief overnight stays for cat friendly dogs and dog and cat friendly cats, dog walking, playtime and visits. Cats are always welcome anytime. If you have horses that need feeding and turnout, I can take care of that too with over 15 years of equestrian experience and past Pony Clubber. Experience with ex racehorses, Arabians, hunter, jumper, eventers, and dressage.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a yard fenced on three sides. Dogs are never left unattended. I have one dog who is both dog and cat friendly and one cat that keeps to himself. Walks are long and have lots of sniffs. I have a ton of toys, enrichment toys, and leash options. I am close to parks, and dogs get lots of outdoor time and games. I love a good cat cuddle and have toys available, and good spots to perch for spying out the window with bird feeders.

Pets

A typical day

I’d love to play with your dog, a game of fetch or tug, and allow them to have mental stimulation for enrichment. Nice long walks with sniff stops around the park and maybe teach them a trick or two!
