Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm a recent Lakewood addition and hoping to support my neighbors by offering detail oriented pet services. I have been around cats and dogs most of my life and have yet to find one I have not bonded with. My current work schedule allows me some flexibility and time, and I would love to support my neighborhood by helping to take care of their furry friends. When I am able, I am a foster for Animal Rescue of the Rockies and it has been an awesome experience. I'm experienced with puppies under one year of age as well as reactive dogs. I am open to dog/house sitting overnights, and short walks during the day. I have accommodated pets that had specific dietary guidelines and needed medication, along with both senior dogs and puppies. Mostly my dog sitting experiences have been for friends, but I have been providing on an as needed basis for over ten years. I stay pretty busy and active in my spare time, so your pet is guaranteed to get quality exercise on their walks!

Kelly was so sweet thoughtful and wonderful with our pets! She took great care of them and the house, gave us plenty of updates! We will 100% books with her again! Thank you so much, Kelly!

Kelly is great with my dog Phoebe! I come home to a clean house and a happy pup every time

Kelly looked after my dog for ten days and I didn’t have to worry at all. She always does a great job and keeps my pup happy while I’m away. She also leaves my place clean which is such a nice bonus!

Kelly is awesome. My pup runs to her door whenever I drop him off.

Any triggers around other dogs or health concerns I should be aware of? How is your dog around food or other animals (cats, squirrels, etc.)?

A typical day

New to the Morse Park area I'm starting to explore a few of the local parks. I am an avid runner/hiker and happy to give your pup the exercise he/she needs. If they need more exercise, I'd love to take them on one of the many hikes the front range has to offer. If the need less exercise I'm comfortable relaxing on the couch giving them all the pets.

I work remote from home, but do travel 1-2 weeks/month. Generally the weeks I am home I am pretty flexible time wise to meet yours and your pets needs. My schedule is pretty set about a 2 weeks out so I know what time slots are available - Anything requests beyond 2 weeks out is subject to change based on work travel needs. I'm happy to keep a pending request open and keep you posted, but I do not get offended if you find someone that works better. I am able to accommodate last minute requests if my schedule allows.
