Pet care experience

21+ years loving/caring for pets!

I was a veterinary assistant for more than seven years and have been grooming cats and dogs, professionally, for fifteen years. I've dedicated my life to caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I'm comfortable with cats and dogs of all ages, as well as: fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, reptiles, and some exotics. I am capable in administering medications and am very detailed oriented. I feel that it's much more beneficial, when applicable, for pets to stay in the comfort of their own home as opposed to boarding away from home. I fully understand and appreciate the vast differences between cats and dogs and cater to each species' individual needs. I love my job so much that I often joke that I should be paying to go to work!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In addition to feeding your pets, disposing of their waste, playtime, and of course back scratches and belly rubs, I also offer bringing in your mail, watering plants, and curbing the garbage bin. I also offer full service in-home grooming services, ask for more details (small dogs/cats only, rabies vaccination required).

Kelly was very helpful with a last minute drop in for both of my dogs. She walked them both and left the house neatly upon her departure. She is was extremely helpful with my pups and very communicative with me. I really recommend and appreciate her help!

Kelly was amazing and kept me update on how my pup was doing. She was informative in all of her check in’s and I can’t say enough great things about how well she took care of my pup.

Kelly was awesome! She went above and beyond to care for our kitties while we were gone!! Our house and the cats area looked fantastic and she even gave them each a little toy. I highly recommend Kelly for your pet sitting needs!

Kelly is so good with Willow and Stanley and I know she loves all fur babies . Didn’t worry at all about them with Kelly.

I want to know as much as possible about your furbaby! From his/her regular likes and dislikes, to walking routines, feeding schedules, treat preferences, allergies, triggers, anything you can think of! The more I understand about your pet, the better prepared I am to care for them.
