Home Is Where The Dog Is

Pet care experience

My name is Kelly and I have been an avid animal lover all of my life! I have volunteered at a no-kill dog shelter for the past 6 years and am also their social media manager. At this time I can only do home visits (drop ins). I have a dog who does not do well with other dogs so this limits me to only drop in visits. I work M-F from 9-5pm and am only able to check on pets before work (before 8:15am) and after work (after 5:45pm) during the week. I'm available to check in on pets anytime on the weekends. I have a 8 year old rescue Shar-Pei named Bella who is my world. She was abused and not properly socialized which means she comes with a lot of strings attached, however, I wouldn't have it any other way. I tend to be drawn to the dogs that aren't easy and that no one else wants. Volunteering at a shelter and owning a dog that needs special accommodations makes me experienced and comfortable working with dogs that need special attention. I am comfortable with dogs that have separation anxiety, social anxiety, toy aggression, food aggression. . . During your pet's home visit they will receive the following: - Walks - Play Time - Cuddle Time - Treat Time (if approved by owner) - Belly Rubs - Lots and lots of love and attention “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” - Mahatma Gandhi

Kelly is a wonderful pet sitter and I would highly recommend her! She has a lot of experience working with shelter/ rescue animals....many of which have behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, food aggression, etc. She loves all animals and has a cat and a dog of her own. If you're looking for a trustworthy person who will treat your animals like her own, choose Kelly!

Kelly has significant experience with dogs. She is always ready to help any dog in need. She works with rescues and shelters to help dogs. Her own dog, Bella, was a rescue whom she loves and took in as a member of her family. For Kelly, dogs are always treated like family members. If they should have any issues, she will work to get them taken care of. She'll keep you informed. My dog, Cheddar, loves Kelly. He's always happy to see her and he gives her lots of kisses. Please consider her, you won't be dissappointed.
