Pet care experience

Compassionate and fit caregiver!

I started my career working with dogs at 18 doing dog walking and pet sitting. I did this for a number of years before I directed my attention to working in daycare and boarding facilities. About 9 years ago I moved to Pittsburgh. I began getting myself out there and working in a few local facilities before finding the one I felt fit me best. Here I worked my self into a general manager role. I have over 5 years experience managing dog care facilities, and have extensive experience in animal husbandry, the “Fear Free” approach, as well as general grooming, medicinal, and other needs. After years working in facility and having kids, I have directed my attention to working from home to spend more time with my kids and own dogs. I have four beagles who are very friendly and love to play, and I also have a dog park very close to my home! I am a foster for Nittany Beagle Rescue and have foster three dogs so far!

Kelly is awesome and very attentive to our critters. She communicated well when our one kitty had some issues with her pajamas (over grooming) and needed changing from soiling due to litter use and put her in her cone. She noticed our fish tank and the frogs had passed (from change of environment and water before we left, not her fault). She spent good social time with the kitties and was very nice to work with. I will hire her again! Thank you Kelly!

Kelly was amazing with my dog, Bucky! She provided super detailed updates and was always on time for her check in.

House Sitting • Sep 30, 2025

Kelly was amazing with my dog, Bucky! He is a little nervous around new people, but Kelly interacted with him in a way that allowed him to open up and be his goofy self. She was excellent at sending updates and pictures each time she visited. Her previous experience with rescues and nervous dogs allowed her to redirect Bucky when he exhibited reactivity on walks. Overall, a great experience.

I have personal experience of working with and for Kelly. She has the biggest heart when it comes to animals. She cares for every single animal that walked through her door and into her life she has four of her own dogs, and she fosters dogs to help them become the best dogs they can be so they can find their forever home. When I adopted my dog, she gave me countless hours of advice because my dog was also a rescue dog. She would take care of anyone’s animal and she has cared for Animal in her home. I would trust Kelly with any of my animals without a doubt, she is the best.
