4 Paws, 2 Ears, 1 Perfect Stay 🐾
*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 is great! She was prompt and handled my somewhat challenging dog like a pro! She even shared with me a new and more effective way to walk him. If I need another walk, I would def use again!
Kelly was amazing. She took such good care of our cat, giving him treats and playing with him. We received detailed updates and lots of pictures showing our kitty playing and looking very happy.
Our first time using Kelly and we could not have picked a better sitter! Came twice for walks and feeding of our big boy Doug, sent lots of photos, and was incredibly communicative. Will 100% be rebooking with her moving forward. 🤗
Kelly is very attentive and always has a positive attitude! We feel very confident having her take care of our 8 month old pup!
I always feel comfortable leaving Bulfinch, knowing that Kelly is coming!
Kelly is the best!!

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!
Pets
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)
