I make homemade dog treats!
Pet care experience
I absolutely love dogs and have one at home however, cannot afford to adopt one while I am at school. My hours are flexible and I love the outdoors so your pooch will definitely get some exercise. I have lived around dogs all my life and am very comfortable with them. I have about 8 years experience of dog sitting for my neighbors and family members. I worked in a spay/neuter clinic as an assistant for two years and volunteered at a wolf dog sanctuary for three years. I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding my profile. Thank you.
Reviews
Kelly was great ! She went above and beyond my expectations. She was sure to take my dog out for walks to get him exercise and I know she have him her full attention because he was not as hyper as I expected him to be when I returned home. This was my first time using this app and I was a bit nervous at first but I’m relieved now and would highly recommend Kelly to anyone else.
Kelly is a wonderful sitter. My dog Buddy loves Kelly. I have trusted Kelly to sit with Buddy several times. I will continue to use Kelly in the future. Chris S

I first and foremost want to establish a good relationship with the pet I am caring for. This may take time but I am incredibly respectful of a pet's boundaries and will do my best to make them feel comfortable around me. I first want to greet the pet and ensure that they receive a good amount of attention prior to walks, and feedings. I then proceed to allow them to go to the bathroom before continuing my visit. I always ensure that I am giving the animal the proper attention. This includes asking the owner what are their pet's likes and dislikes. I then wish to go over any boundaries the owner may have. I always to try to ensure a great experience and limit disruptions in the pet's routine.

Information Kelly J. would like to know about your pet
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about my experience, or if you have any specific needs for your pet. I love all animals and strive to care for them to the best of my ability.
A typical day
I like to play fetch with dogs outside and take them for long walks. For smaller dogs, I adjust to their capability and try to find play time that fits their interests. I have no problem snuggling and giving them lots of love. For cats, I like to allow them to come to me first, sniff me out, then I'll proceed to check water, food, and litter. If your cat is playful, I'll be sure to engage in some activity and will of course provide snuggles.
