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

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.

Kelly is an incredibly caring, attentive, and meticulous pet caretaker. She connects with animals easily, and pours a great deal of genuine care and effort into ensuring each of their needs are met. Kelly is extremely knowledgable about different dog breeds and their unique needs, and is quick to deep dive when she discovers something new to learn. I would trust Kelly with any of my pets again and again!

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.

Pricing: My base rate reflects the care and time I devote to each dog and cat. Rover displays the final client price at checkout. If your pet needs a customized routine, we can go over the details during our meet and greet. Pet Preferences: I work best with dogs who benefit from structured routines, longer walks, and thoughtful engagement. Any behavioral concerns must be disclosed in advance. House Sitting: Consistent companionship, structured walks, and attentive pet care throughout the day. Light household tasks included (garbage receptacle and mail/package pick-up); additional responsibilities can be added through a separate agreement. Having a clear understanding of your expectations, while also feeling safe and comfortable in your home, is very important to me.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
