Hi! I'm Kelly. I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, ever since my family adopted our first dog when I was 5 years old. Over the years, I've shared my life with all kinds of dogs, from my tiny Miniature Yorkie to my big 100-pound Shepherd mix. I've fostered dogs, dog-sat for friends and family, and spent countless hours learning about positive reinforcement training through private lessons and hands-on experience. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog behind when you travel because I've been there myself. Whenever I boarded my own dogs, all I wanted was to know they were safe, happy, loved, and getting plenty of attention. That's exactly the kind of experience I hope to give both you and your pup. My home is fully fenced with a large front yard and backyard where dogs can run, play, explore, or simply relax in the sunshine. I even built a dedicated potty area for my own dogs, which many visiting pups quickly figure out. My dogs passed away a few years ago, and I genuinely miss having dogs around the house. I work from home as a freelance designer, so I'm home throughout the day and enjoy having a furry coworker by my side. Whether your dog loves walks, fetch, belly rubs, naps on the couch, or simply being near people, they'll get plenty of attention and companionship while they're here. I also have an almost 6-year-old daughter who has grown up around dogs her entire life. She's gentle, respectful, and absolutely adores them. One of her favorite things to do is sit beside them and read stories. Because our home includes a young child, I can only host dogs that are comfortable around children, and all interactions are always supervised by me. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away.
