Kelly is wonderful. My dogs instantly loved her. She sent me updates and pictures all weekend. She administered meds for Gigi (not easy). And she saved me when my other sitter cancelled last minute. I would highly recommend!

I cannot say enough nice things about Kelly. This is EXACTLY who you would want to leave your fur babies with! Kelly is so kind and welcoming towards my pup and I, she goes above and beyond to make us feel like she truly cares (because she does!) and you immediately feel like family in her home.

Kelly is the absolute best dog sitter! Our 7 and a half year old dog has extreme separation anxiety, needs to be near humans constantly, has dietary restrictions including special food and treats, and requires several medications be given on a specific time schedule. Kelly did it ALL!!!! She (and her husband) went out of their way to make our baby comfortable and loved with lots of extra cuddles. Our dog often gets so upset if we leave that she will vomit and have diarrhea from the anxiety. This did not happen when she stayed with Kelly! Kelly went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt secure and she never got sick once during her week-long stay with Kelly. She kept me continually updated with texts and photos! Kelly, her husband, and her two sweet dogs Ollie and Teddy, will make sure your dog is loved and cared for during their stay, which will allow you to enjoy your time away without one worry about your fur baby. We cannot say enough good things about our experience. Highly recommend! 5 stars! Will ABSOLUTELY use her again!! ❤️❤️❤️

She was fantastic! Gave me daily updates while I was away on my trip for the weekend and ensured me everything was going smoothly. I will definitely book with her again!

Kelly and her family were amazing! Our dog has food allergies and extreme separation anxiety and she can be a lot. Kelly was so sweet to chat with me ahead of time regarding our dog’s needs and she put me at ease right away. We did a one night sleepover prior to our 7 day stay, to make sure everyone was comfortable. Kelly took the best care of our little baby! She was careful to follow my instructions and went out of her way to make sure our dog felt loved and cared for. She kept in contact with me and sent several updates and photos. I can tell that our baby was happy, very well cared for and not stressed. We are looking forward to going to see our son graduate without any worry about our little dog. I know she will be in good hands. Highly recommend Kelly and will use her again!

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule, which means I can often accommodate last-minute bookings or changing plans. Being on a flexible routine also allows me to spend real, quality time with the pets I care for — not just quick check-ins. I love that I can give them my full attention and keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

A typical day

We’ll play, cuddle, explore the neighborhood on walks, and follow whatever routine helps them feel secure. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality — whether they love fetch, quiet snuggles, or games — because a little customized love goes a long way in easing separation anxiety for everyone. ❤️

Trust, safety and warmth really matter to me. I’d love to know their feeding schedule, medication needs, treat rules, furniture or bed preferences, and any habits like chewing, "escape artists" at the door, or getting into things (just as a heads up!) Favorite ways to play or cuddle, exercise needs, and vet/emergency info are also really helpful. The more I know, the easier it is to keep them safe, relaxed, and happy.
