Pet care experience

Grandmas Doggy Daycare

Long-Term Pet Owner: I recently lost my German shepherd mix TyTy after 10 years of wonderful companionship. I miss having a furry friend in the home. My family has had pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, and small animals, providing them with loving care, regular exercise, and proper nutrition. Pet Sitting for Family and Friends: Over the years, I've frequently cared for pets belonging to family and friends, ensuring they are well-fed, exercised, and comfortable in their temporary home. Volunteer Work: I have volunteered for the Humane Society helping with feeding, cleaning, and socializing the animals, gaining valuable experience in handling a variety of pets. Administering Medication: I've successfully administered medication to pets, including pills, eye drops, and ointments ensuring they receive their necessary treatments.

I have never been so grateful to have found Kelly! I hesitate to say "dog sitter," because she is so much more. Our pup, Frankie, absolutely loves spending time with Kelly. I always know that she will be loved, played with and exercised when she's with Kelly. We receive endless photos about their day together and I truly feel so secure leaving Frankie with her. Kelly is responsive (and funny!) and keeps us up to date on their adventures together. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly, she is phenomenal.

Kelly was great! She was available last minute to watch Klaus for a few hours! He had so much fun on a walk and playing with her pup Hank! If ever back in Wilmington will definitely book again!

Great stay with Kelly! Always feel comfortable leaving our dog for extended periods of time, even over the holidays, I know she is being well taken care of. Kelly is great about checking in daily and it really helps put our minds at ease when we are away. We would definitely recommend Kelly for boarding!
