Loving "second home" for your dogs
Pet care experience
I have a very dog-friendly home and love all animals. I had dogs my entire life (and I had a cat for 18 years, too!) I lost my last dog to cancer in 2014. Before starting Rover, I did a lot of rescue & fostering. I have a large fenced back yard. I work from home M-F so am almost always home. I love to go for walks, so the dog(s) will get plenty of exercise if they are up to it. Any dog who stays with us will get a TON of love and attention from me and my family (my youngest son is 18.) My kids have grown up with dogs and they love all animals. I have experience with young dogs / puppies, old dogs, special needs (blind and/or deaf; oral meds) dogs, and everything in between! I am willing to give injected meds if needed, you'll just need to show me how to do it. I can take multiple dogs from the same family; I generally prefer to not have more than one dog at a time unless they already know each other, or unless they both get along really well with all other dogs. I also will do dog and/or cat (or small animal) drop-in visits at your home if you live close by. I really love being able to visit cats since I can't have a cat at my house due to all the dogs! Thank you for reading this, and I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) if you think we would be a good match! I work full time M-F from home, and the dog will be a part of the family during his or her stay with us. I love to go for walks around the neighborhood. I have a high, securely fenced yard. I also have gates to block the front doors and am very safety conscious. I have a kitchen garbage that dogs cannot access, and I keep food out of reach on the counters. In your house, I leave everything as I found it and touch as little as possible.
Reviews
Kelly did a fantastic job looking after our cats while we were away! We got pics every day, and she was great about being flexible and adapting to the situation about their feedings. Highly recommended.
Kelly took excellent care of our 2 cats and was very professional with her communications with us. We will definitely use her services again.
Kelly is amazing.❤️
Kelly is very sweet! I’ll ask my son again! Thank you so much!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will keep your dogs safe and happy when they are at my house. Lots of play time and cuddle time, and we usually go on at least one walk, if not more.
Home
Information Kelly H. would like to know about your pet
I need to be sure that the dog is good with all types of people: kids, men, and women. I also like to know whether they are good with other dogs, and if they have any food-aggression or toy-aggression issues with either people or other dogs. Any "unusual" behaviors are helpful to be aware of as well (such as lunging after large/loud trucks when on a walk, etc.)
A typical day
I will play fetch with the dogs in my backyard, or "chase" if they like that. I have a lot of balls and toys for them. I like to walk around the neighborhood; I prefer to stay on the side streets with less cars and noise. I sometimes walk through the park or down to Alki Beach. It depends on the weather, how much time I have, and how far your dog is able to walk. If going on a longer walk, I bring water and a collapsible water bowl.
