Pet care experience

Safe place to play and cuddle!

An animal lover from an early age, I love dogs of all ages and breeds. My first 'job' was a dog walker. I was probably 8 and I would stop at the neighbor's house after school and ask to walk their Pekingese, CiCi. I wanted a dog so badly! Finally, after all that dog walking, I got my first dog when I was 10. Her name was Domino, and she was a German Short-haired Pointer. From then on there were always animals in my life - dogs, cats, horses, ferrets, hamsters, birds, hermit crabs... As a teen I would alternate between babysitting the neighborhood children and the neighborhood pets. I have been a vet tech, and even had the opportunity to volunteer at the Smithsonian National Zoo in DC. Amazing experiences learning about animals! Knowing how I'd want my pets to be cared for gives me insight as to what level of attention I'd give every animal in my care. Trust that your pet(s) will receive the highest level of care and be safe & comfy with this animal lover! I thank you in advance, and appreciate your patience with initial response times! At times, I am just not able to be on a phone and will get back to you once I’ve checked your needs and my schedule!

Kelly is a very conscientious and caring pet sitter, who is our "go to" sitter for our cat, Tango. She is very careful to follow instructions on what and when to feed Tango. Highly recommend.

We’re so happy with how Kelly cares for our cats. She really loves animals, we know when we’re away they’re getting really good care. She’s our default pet sitter. Even my fussy cat loves her!

Kelly’s care for my furbaby was fantastic!! I received updates with cute pictures from every visit. She won over my persnickety kitty where she was letting Kelly pet her and would also roll over showing her comfortability with Kelly. I will definitely book Kelly again 😊

Kelly kittysits our orange cat Tango. She can be counted on to drop by on the days that are arranged, and gives lots of love, brushing, and attention to our cat. We really appreciate Kelly and trust her to do a great job watching Tango.

Prior to any visit, I prefer a quick meet and greet. I really enjoy the meet and greets to get to know a bit about you and your pets, as well as you getting the chance to get to know me. I would like to know about any routines or preferences that your dog may have, including any instructions for medications, feeding, treats, etc. We can discuss any questions and make sure we are on the same page. I know how important routine is for most dogs, and want to provide as much continuity and love for them as I can while you're away. BOARDING INFO: I love all breeds, but to be a good fit in my home I prefer that your pup is good with other dogs (big and small), current on all shots, neutered, treated with flea/tick prevention and for heartworm as well. I'd prefer also that your dog be okay sleeping in a comfy, bedded crate at night. This is not a must and we can adjust to your dog's needs. I'm not against them on furniture or my bed, especially if that's what they do at home. There will be plenty of options for safe and comfy areas for all.
