Neighborhood Animal Lover

Pet care experience

My skills with animal care are extensive with my personal and professional experience. Growing up my mom joked she was "Dr. Dolittle", but there was some truth to it. I come from an animal house. In addition to caring for my own cats and dogs, I've cared for many others' pets as well. From fostering a litter of two week old kittens around the clock to walking 70 pound dogs, I am ready to take on your animal cares needs! I am offering my pet sitting and dog walking services for busy families and individuals. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes and dispositions - and don't worry - I'm committed to following whatever requirements your pet may have. Pets are happiest when they are able to maintain normal routines in their owners' absence. Additionally, I am comfortable administering any necessary medications, supplements, or special diets. For example, a Chow Chow dog that I've cared for has his food made to order at mealtime & must be kept company while eating. These are the little things that count :) A little more about myself, I am a Florida State University graduate living in the Port Norfolk area with my 2 cats and boyfriend. In addition to my love of animals, I also love writing, art, and education. I look forward to speaking with you further about your pet care needs!

i can't recommend Kelly highly enough. She's one of the biggest animal lovers I know; together, we fostered 2 litters of kittens (with one of them becoming a foster fail) - so I've seen her ability to step up to any occasion. Kelly is very patient and compassionate towards all animals, and I know that she personally has more than 6 animals residing in her household. aside from her gentle touch, Kelly Is also extremely responsible & honest. Whether your 4 legged friend needs companionship or a hand to feed, Kelly is perfect for the position :)

My dog is a huge baby and requires ample love and attention when I'm away. Although he's somewhat high maintenance, Kelly's been up to the challenge from day one. She's helped me a few times now, sending photos periodically to keep me updated while I'm away. We feel immensely comfortable leaving a member of our family in her care.
