Where Every Dog Feels at Home

I’m a calm, intuitive caregiver with years of experience welcoming dogs of all ages, sizes, and abilities into my home. I’ve cared for tiny senior chihuahuas, blind and deaf pups, anxious dogs, energetic puppies, and giant breeds, each one supported with patience, structure, and genuine love. My gentle 97‑lb Labrador, Deyo, is a natural companion who helps other dogs feel safe, relaxed, and included. As a Reiki Master, I also offer optional daily Reiki sessions for pups who benefit from grounding, emotional support, or deeper relaxation. I’m skilled in senior care, medication administration, reading dog body language, and supporting sensitive or special‑needs pups. Because I prioritize individualized attention, I typically welcome one dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, ensuring your pup receives truly focused, heart‑centered care.

Kelly has great communication and did an amazing job at making sure that Ellie felt super comfortable and “one of the pack!” I appreciated all of the pictures and updates Kelly sent while I was away from my pup. Both Ellie and I are excited to have Kelly watch over her again sometime soon!

Doggy Day Care • juin 18, 2026

We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter! Kelly was so warm, welcoming, and flexible with our timing. Coco immediately felt at home and had a wonderful time playing with Deyo. Kelly went above and beyond by sharing local recommendations that helped us make the most of our quick Boise visit. We had complete peace of mind knowing Coco was in such caring hands. We are incredibly grateful and would happily book with her again!

I absolutely love having Kelly care for our two dogs! She is incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and truly adores them- treating them like they are her own. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs are in such loving hands while we are away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

I was incapacitated for a couple months in early 2026. As I was healing from a medical procedure, one of my out-of-town caregivers, who was also walking my dog when I could not, met Kelly (and her dog) in my neighborhood. They ended up walking together multiple times. In the weeks that followed my friend’s departure, Kelly generously volunteered to be one of the people to continue taking my dog for walks when I was still not recovered enough to do it myself. Kelly mentioned that she and her family enjoyed welcoming other people’s dogs into their home for overnight stays. Our dogs got along so well that I felt this was preferable to putting my pet in a kennel or leaving her home alone with periodic check-ins when I were to travel. My pet, who is over 13, has already had both short and long “staycations” with Kelly in April and May of 2026. When I was away, I’d get periodic photos showing my very relaxed pooch. My dog now gets very excited when she realizes she is headed to Kelly’s house. She is treated like family and gets a lot of attention and playtime there. I have absolutely no worries about leaving her in the care of Kelly’s loving and safe household.

Kelly has watched my little Latin lover, Pedro, a 17 y/o chihuahua-terrier mix, several times over the years. Kelly is a big hearted animal lover who always showers Pedro with attention, compassion, and care. In addition to being an amazing human, she is also a Reiki Master, so if your animal is ever hurt or sad, she can help them feel better. I trust her implicitly with my dog and highly recommend her services to anyone who values high quality care for their animal!

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home as an intuitive energy healer with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to offer frequent walks, plenty of supervision, and a calm, consistent environment for boarding. Dogs are with me throughout the day getting fresh air, attention, and companionship, evenings are relaxed and cozy, perfect for winding down. Your pup is never overlooked and always cared for like family.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, dogs enjoy a calm, loving environment with plenty of attention and supervision. My home has a fenced‑in shaded backyard where pups get plenty of outdoor time, and lots of built‑in play with Deyo, my gentle 97‑lb Lab who loves making new friends. Inside, dogs get cozy rest time, a predictable routine, and plenty of snuggles from the whole family. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, or just relax, they’re cared for like one of our own. Your dog is never just “in the background.” They’re part of the rhythm of my day, seen, supported, and included in a peaceful, loving environment.
