Pet care experience
*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).
Reviews
Kelly is amazing. You can stop looking for any other pet provider now. You've come across the profile of the absolute best. Kelly helped my three fur friends for a week while I was traveling. She handled some situational difficulties like an absolute pro. I immediately gained piece of mind while I was away from my pets.
Kelly is very responsive and gives the best details of her walk! So many pictures and updates! You can tell she really cares and took good care of my pup
I've been using Kelly's services on the Rover app for the past 3 months, and I can confidently say she's been a game-changer for me and my dogs. Initially hesitant about letting a stranger into my home, Kelly's warm demeanor and genuine care for my pets immediately put me at ease. Her dedication shines through in every aspect of her service. Kelly goes above and beyond, sending detailed report cards and adorable pictures after every walk, making me feel like I'm right there with them. She's incredibly patient and attentive, especially on days when my dogs aren't in the mood for a walk – she ensures they still get the attention and playtime they need. Reliability is crucial to me, and Kelly exceeds expectations. Despite my unpredictable schedule, she's always accommodating and quick to respond, even to last-minute changes. Her flexibility and responsiveness make my life so much easier. This being my first experience with Rover, Kelly has set the bar high for what a dog walker should be. She's not just a walker; she's a trusted companion for my furry friends. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and professional dog walker. Thank you, Kelly, for your exceptional service!
Kelly was great! Reliable, thorough, and handled some litterbot hiccups for me!
About Kelly L.
Communication
Skills
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!
Information Kelly L. would like to know about your pet
Information I need to provide the perfect care for your pup! 1. Up to date with shots? 2. Reactive/shy or social? What is her/his personality? 3. Any medical issues I need to know about? 4.

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)

Availability
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!
