A true animal lover!
Pet care experience
My family is full of animals people, but particularly dog lovers! This means that ever since I was a child I have been surrounded by dogs of all different sizes, ages, personalities, and needs. I treat all dogs as if they are my own, putting their needs first and making sure they are comfortable and happy. I also love walking/hiking, so dogs with lots of energy are not a problem! To give you some background on myself, I have dedicated my life to animals. I have a BS and MS from UCSD in animal behavior and ecology. I focus my studies on bats in the wild, and work for an environmental consulting company in the Sacramento area. Because my work is seasonal, when I'm not busy with that I enjoy switching my focus from working with wild animals to caring for domestic animals. I am originally from San Diego, and took a hiatus for several years from dog sitting professionally after moving a couple times for school/work. Now my husband and I are settled into our new home in West Sacramento, and I am happy to be back on Rover! I would love to hear from you and to meet your furry-companion(s)! I can provide dog walks, over night stays (at my place or yours), and/or day time quick visits (potty breaks), whichever service suites you and your pet's needs!
Reviews
Kelly was great! So nice and took great care of our pup!
Kelly stayed at our home with our two dogs and we couldn't be happier! She sent us message and photo updates everyday, and replied promptly to my texts. I even came home to a sparkling clean house! We'll definitely ask her to sit for us again! Thanks, Kelly!!
Kelly went above and beyond to help out with Apple. She sent some great photos that showed that our dog had a great time while we were away.
Without hesitation I would recommend Kelly to sit your dog(s). Upon first meeting, Kelly and I immediately bonded over our intense love of animals (not to mention we were studying animal cognition, behavior, and communication at UCSD together). She and her family have three pups of her own: Rocket, Cricket, and Zuzu - all of whom she has taken wonderful care of and loves dearly. Kelly has always been wonderful with my dog, Bella, who is most certainly not the easiest dog to get along with due to her fear and anxiety around new people. Kelly always maintained such a calm and collected composure around Bella and helped ease both my and Bella's anxieties. Kelly is a responsible, caring, active, and knowledgeable person with an intuitive sense for connecting with animals and I have no doubt that she will take the very best care of your babies!

Information Kelly I. would like to know about your pet
The temperate of your dog is important to know, for myself and also to help determine activities they may enjoy. Let me know if there are any particularly things your dog doesn't like, or absolutely loves, and I'll be sure to adhere to those. My goal is to make your dogs as happy as I like to make my own, so any information about your dog's personality can guide me in the right direction. If your dog has an aggressive temperate, I may not be the right sitter for you. Dogs with separation anxiety I can handle depending on the severity of their anxiety. We would need to discuss this further to determine whether I am the right sitter for your dog.
A typical day
If you have an active dog and it's not too hot, I love going for hikes at various locations around Sacramento. I also love doing local walks around Midtown, for medium energy level breeds. If your dog is a couch potato, I am always okay with staying in and relaxing. If your pet should stay at my home, I have a decent sized yard that is fun to run around in. Please feel free to pack your pets favorite toys so we can make the visit extra enjoyable!
