Professional dog loving cat lady

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Kelly, I have three cats and one dog of my own. They're all very friendly and have gotten along with all our many visitors so far. I have always been an animal lover and have never really wanted to do anything else. I managed a doggy daycare in central ATX for over 5 years and worked previously at a daycare facility out in Brooklyn, NY. I have fostered more pups back in NYC (with badass brooklyn animal rescue) than I can count. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes and breeds. I am very patient and attentive with all my new buddies, I know it can take some time for some to warm up to new situations. I work short days, 10 - 4, but my partner is usually home throughout the day. Just in case, your pup would need to be okay left alone for a few hours at a time. I will always make sure they are never alone too long and get at least one mid day potty break. I tend to stick around the house on my off hours when I have a dog sit, so they will get plenty of attention from me and my partner during their stay.

Kelly, Thank you so much for watching Junie during Christmas. The communication was amazing and we got daily photos to see Junie being such a happy dog. Appreciate you making our first Rover experience great!

Always amazing! Even with the extra drama that our puppy can bring sometimes Kelly is always cool, calm, and collected. I don't know what we would be without Kelly!

Kelly was fantastic! She took great care of our spazy, high energy dog and grumpy cat and it was wonderful to come home to a happy, relaxed pup. She also took care of some house-sitting things like bringing in the garbage cans, dealing with a big heavy package delivery. She left the house looking great! We definitely plan to hire her again.

Kelly H. is one of the most compassionate human being I know. She doesn't just watch and walk dogs, she loves and takes care of them. You can rest assured your pet will be in the best hands with Kelly. She also has several years under her belt working at a professional doggy day care in Brooklyn, fostering for animals and is currently pursuing a vet tech degree.

Information Kelly H. would like to know about your pet

My biggest concern with a pup is their disposition with other animals as we do have several of our own. Just a run down of their typical behaviors around toys/food/on walks can be crucial information.

A typical day

We love to take the pups for walks around the neighborhood, however we are lucky enough to have a nice sized fenced in yard and friendly neighbors all around. So if your pup is more into running free than walking on a leash, they're all set here.
