Availability
Please note that we limit drop-off and pick-up to a 30-minute window. Daycare is capped at 9 hours, If you need a longer time frame, please use overnight boarding option. (you're still able to pick up your pup on the same day, of course). Hourly care is also available at $25/hour (2 hour minimum). We’re usually flexible with schedules as long as clear communication is maintained! 😃 On a typical day, we enjoy countless cuddles and safe play in our super secure yard. Unlike some daycares that leave dogs out in the hot sun all day, we spend most of our time inside a cool, matted play space. We also enjoy visiting local parks when time permits. For safety precaution, we NEVER visit any public off-leash dog parks. Therefore, we might not be the best fit for your pup if they’re accustomed to off-leash outings or long walks.

About Kelly L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
There is always someone home 24/7. Our yard is securely fenced, with ample lawn and play area. There are plenty of outdoor opportunities with IN PERSON supervised playtime at ALL TIMES to keep your little ones safe, active & happy. The interior is padded with floor mats for safe playing, slip & fall prevention (great for senior pups). We also have a separate ground floor guest quarter that’s perfect for cats, rabbits and caged babies who do not wish to interact with dogs as we do have the sweetest senior Shih Tzu rescue, Augustina🐶. She likes all new friends but minds her own business most of the time. Given that said, your babies must be human friendly.😅

Loving Quality Care 😺🐶❤️er
Pet care experience
My husband & I are semi-retirees who have been raised with pets our entire lives. We specialized in smaller breeds (20 lbs & under) with separation anxiety & definitely have a soft spot for doodles as well.😅 We are proud to say that we’re experienced, loving and extremely responsible animal lovers who believe pets are our kids……so much so that our vets said we are one of the best pet owners they’ve encountered and love to be our “kids” in their next lives.🤣 We are not the type of sitters who host excessive number of dogs at once. As a matter of fact, we intentionally keep our guest list small so we may focus constant supervision and individualized love to each little ones coming across our hands. We focus heavily on safety, trust, love & positive energy over anything else. As loving pet parents, we understand it’s a huge decision when you have to leave your fur babies in strangers' hands. Rest assured we hold up to our words, we’ll love and care for them just like our own! Our goal is to always put ourselves in your shoes and their paws😆 and provide the best-pampered care for your babies and peace of mind while you’re away. Your little ones will NEVER be left alone & treated like a number. Their safety and comfort are our TOP priorities when staying with us. We promise! Since we're home all day, we’re generally flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We firmly believe that communication and mutual respect are the foundation of any great relationships. There are many sitters on Rover, and we encourage you to shop around for the best fit. However, please only contact us if you are serious and ready to move forward with a formal meet-and-greet. To keep our schedule open for committed clients, non-responsive owners (no reply within 2 hours of initial contact) will be archived and blocked from future bookings. Thank you so much for understanding.

Reviews

Simply the best! Kelly took incredible care of our beloved cavpoo, Bijou. She was very thorough in the meet and greet, walked us through her philosophy of care, showed us in details the housing arrangements for our pup, and then gave us frequent updates during the stay. We will definitely be using Kelly again in the future!
Another great stay for our boy.!!
Kelly is truly beyond wonderful. Our family cannot say enough good things about her and the care she provided for Jake over a period of 9 days while we were away. She sent us photos and videos every day and was super-communicative and thoughtful about his needs, his comfort, and dog socializing. . It’s so clear that she loves caring for animals. She even gave Jake a bath before I picked him up.:) Thank you, Kelly!

Kelly did such a wonderful job watching my dog who has some special needs and care instructions. She was attentive, loving, and sent regular updates on how he was doing. He came home happy and calm and they even took the time to give him a bath so he came home clean too. I will absolutely use Kelly again, she is amazing at what she does. Thank you for taking great care of Prince !!
