Safety, trust & environment
I strongly believe in routine and structure. As a former teacher, I enjoy keeping things organized and providing a consistent, comfortable environment for everyone in my care. Before caring for your pet, I'll ask plenty of questions about their daily routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they're with us. We have a spacious home with a split floor plan, which allows us to easily accommodate different dogs. If your pet is staying overnight, we can separate dogs when needed, rotate playtime, or allow them to socialize together, depending on their personalities and comfort levels. My dogs do well with other dogs of various sizes, and I always prioritize safe, supervised interactions. We have a fenced yard with a pool. My goal is to provide each pet with the right balance of rest, play, exercise, and socialization so they feel at home while you're away.

A typical day
As a dog sitter, I provide a warm, loving, and safe environment where your pup feels right at home. I spend quality time with each dog, whether that’s going on gentle walks, playing their favorite games, or simply cuddling up for some quiet companionship. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding schedules, potty breaks, and bedtime rituals—so they feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive to their unique personalities and needs, offering enrichment activities like puzzle toys or basic training practice to keep their minds active and happy. Most importantly, I make sure they’re surrounded by patience, affection, and constant supervision, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is cared for like one of my own.

Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Kelly! If you're anything like me, your dogs aren't just pets—they're family. I know how hard it can be to leave them behind, whether you're heading to work for the day or taking a much-needed vacation. The worry about whether they're comfortable, happy, and being cared for the way you would care for them yourself is something I completely understand. Dogs & cats have been a part of my life - forever, and caring for them has always been one of my greatest joys. While Rottweilers hold a special place in my heart, I have raised and trained them for more than 25 years - I've also had the privilege of loving and raising Dachshunds, West Highland White Terriers, and German Shepherds. I truly believe that dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and secure. Just like people, they find comfort in familiar routines and consistency. When I'm caring for your pet, I do my best to keep their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible, so they can relax while you're away. I’m currently a stay at home Mom. My husband and I have two children (4 years & 5 years old) and two beloved Rottweilers, Beau and Abby. Beau is our big, goofy 120-pound boy with a confident but gentle nature, and Abby is our calm and steady six-year-old girl who seems to have an old soul. We recently lost our senior dachshund Marvin. Living with dogs every day continues to teach me something new, and I never stop learning from them. Years ago, I spent time involved in competitive obedience training and earned therapy certifications with my big dogs. Those experiences deepened my appreciation for canine behavior, communication, and the importance of building trust and understanding with our dogs. More than anything, they taught me that every dog deserves patience, kindness, and respect. I am a Christian, and my faith influences how I care for others—both people and their pets. When you're trusting me with your dog and your home, I understand what a responsibility that is. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being cared for with genuine love, attention, and compassion. The truth is, I've always felt most at home around dogs. Dogs are my favorite kind of people. Their loyalty, honesty, and unconditional love are gifts that never cease to amaze me. It would be a privilege to care for your furry family member and provide the same level of attention and affection I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend.

Reviews
I had such a great experience! Kelly’s communication was excellent throughout the stay. She provided plenty of updates and photos. My dog was very well cared for, and I was so grateful to come home to a freshly bathed pup. It was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. I highly recommend Kelly and would definitely book her again!
We had an excellent experience with our pet sitter, Kelly! She did a wonderful job maintaining our pet's regular routine, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Communication was fantastic, and it was clear that our pet was well cared for and happy throughout the stay. The extra touch of giving our pet a bath before we returned was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated. Coming home to a clean, fresh-smelling pet made our return even more enjoyable. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. We would gladly book with her again!
Kelly is an excellent caretaker for all pets! She is reliable, kind, and trustworthy. Above all else, she is a great communicator, ensuring she understands your pets’ routine and preferences. She is patient and loving towards animals, and I feel so safe and comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. I highly recommend her to all pet owners!
