Joyful Walks for Every Dog
I provide reliable, attentive, and humane care for dogs who need more than the bare minimum. I specialize in longer walks, consistent companionship, and thoughtful routines that support a dog’s physical and emotional well‑being. My approach is grounded in respect for each animal’s needs — not just the convenience of a quick visit. I’ve cared for dogs of many ages, temperaments, and energy levels, including high‑exercise breeds, seniors, and dogs who thrive with predictable routines. I’m comfortable managing detailed care instructions, medications, and individualized schedules. My goal is always the same: to make sure your dog feels safe, mentally-stimulated, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pricing Description: Dog Walking Premium 45–60 minute walks with structured pacing, decompression time, and attentive handling. Drop-in Visits Drop‑ins provide routine‑based care with enrichment, calm companionship, and a walk tailored to your dog’s exercise needs. I focus on behavioral cues, decompression, and thoughtful interaction throughout each visit. House Sitting House sitting offers calm companionship, structured walks, and respectful care of your home. I maintain a tidy, low‑stress environment and follow your dog’s daily rhythms closely. Get $20 off your first booking on Rover, using this link: https://www.rover.com/sit/kellyk91314
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I maintain a calm, organized, pet‑safe environment and follow your routines closely so your dog feels comfortable and secure. Walk & Exercise Standards I do not provide rushed or minimal-contact visits. All walks are designed to meet your dog’s actual exercise needs. I always use positive reinforcement to redirect behavior through praise, treats, or toys. I do not yell or use physical means to get the dog's attention or make commands. Dogs receive humane, high‑quality care that supports their physical and emotional well‑being.

Schedule
I'm in graduate school and will begin student-teaching this fall. I have an open availability this summer and can continue with dog walking and pet-sitting throughout the year, since my teaching hours will be a half-day commitment.
