*Independently Insured by PCI* Hello! I am Kelly, living in the Quincy area! I was in IT in the Biotech industry, but was recently laid off. Currently taking a long break to do things what I’ve always loved doing, being with pups and kitties!! I've been around dogs and cats my whole life and I have over 8 years of experience with my own dogs (7 with my cat). I've also had pet hamsters, rabbit, and ducks growing up! Animals truly make me happy! I have also been working with a balanced trainer with my dogs for 3 years now. I have 2 Shibas of my own + a tabby cat! My home in Quincy comes with a good-sized fenced yard where dogs can play and enjoy the sun. I avoid dog parks for safety reasons. For shy or reactive pups, I prefer quiet neighborhood walks or hikes at scenic spots like Blue Hills, the beach, or Castle Island (weather permitted). Key pick up and drop offs +$5 Would appreciate if you have a lockbox!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kelly was great with my new pup, Daphne! Daphne is just 10 weeks old, so I was nervous to leave her for a few hours, but Kelly came to meet her beforehand and right away I could tell Daphne would be in great care. Kelly played with her all morning and sent frequent updates and pictures!
Kelly gave me many updates with photos, and made sure I knew my cat was happy while I was away. Thank you Kelly!
Amazing!! Loved all the pics of my cat while I’m gone and the absolute great care he received! I know he loved it!! Will definitely book again for my next trip :)
Kelly is the best! This is her 3rd time watching Armand. She is wonderful with him and provides detailed updates. We love Kelly!
Kelly was very responsive and took care of our dog well. She also took a lot of pictures and kept us updated. Will definitely book her again next time
First time using Rover for our 7mos old pup. Kelly was extremely punctual and communicative. She made sure to understand our ask and reinforced good behaviors and training. Shared great updates and we will use her again.

Schedule
I believe in structure, because dogs thrive on predictability! It reduces anxiety and builds confidence in dogs. Please let me know your pup's routine and I will stick to it. I carefully schedule appointments when I have ample availability throughout the week, allowing me to give your pups the attention they deserve! ——- Key pick up and drop offs +$5 Would appreciate if you have a lockbox!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and happiness are my priority. I have a spacious fenced in yard where your pup can frolic and enjoy a secure environment for playtime. Your pup will receive continuous supervision. While my own dogs are accustomed to crate training and are crated during brief periods when I can't be present (such as cooking, bathing, eating, or running errands), I understand not all dogs prefer crates. In such cases, I have an extra room in my home dedicated for the pups!

A typical day
We will go on walks around the neighborhood! We can also play in our fenced in yard, with my dogs, playing fetch or tug We can also do some basic training to exercise the mind (down stays, place, crate training, door manners, etc) Please note, I am not a professional trainer. Happy to refer you to a trainer I trust if interested! I provide at least 1 hr of exercise for the dogs (a combination of play, lick mats, fetch, walks, interactive toys, training)
