Pet care experience

Experienced & Reliable Pet Care 🐾

Hi! I'm Kelly, and I'm excited to care for pets throughout Rocky Mount and the surrounding 27803 area! I've been an animal lover and pet caregiver for 40+ years, and I've cared for all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups to senior pets who prefer a slower pace and lots of cuddles. I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pets — and with your home. My goal is simple: keep your pets comfortable, happy, safe, and on their normal routine while you're away. Whether you need a quick drop-in, a walk, or someone to stay with your pets while you're traveling, I provide dependable, personalized care based on your pet's individual needs. What you can expect: 🐾 Plenty of love, attention, and playtime 📸 Photos and updates during every visit 💊 Careful attention to feeding, medications, and special instructions 🦴 Walks and potty breaks at your pet's normal pace 🏡 Respectful care of your home while you're away 💬 Quick, reliable communication ❤️ A calm, patient approach for shy, senior, anxious, or extra-spoiled pets I always take the time to learn your pet's routine and preferences before you leave, and I love getting to know their individual personalities. I offer a meet & greet before bookings so you and your pets can feel comfortable with me before your first visit. If you're looking for a dependable local pet sitter in Rocky Mount, 27803, I'd love to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱 I work remotely most days, so would be home with your pets most of the time that you are away. I also volunteered at SPCA of Wake County. This helps me to support a cause I love while also geting my puppy fix in without bringing more pups home! My adult daughter stays home to care for our pets while I am taking care of yours.

Safety, trust & environment

They got along very well together. He stayed on schedule and was in a happy mood when we returned. This was her third visit and she thought he was fun with his big boy 12 pounds personality.

It was a great experience working with Kelly. We did a meet and greet first and the dogs warmed up to her quickly. Everything went smoothly, she communicated frequently and always answered my messages promptly. Overall a great experience and I will book her again next time I need a dog sitter in my home. Thanks a million Kelly!

So glad we found Kelly! She has been successful with my sweet but reactive dog, and has earned trust. This was a huge win!

Kelly did a great job watching our fur babies while we were on vacation. She sent daily updates, pictures and was friendly, quick to respond and took awaybthe worry of leaving our babies in someone else's care. We will definitely contact her again!

I work remotely most days, which will allow me flexibility to care for your pets and remain with them much of the time. I am an early riser, so if your pet also gets up early, we will be a great fit!

Please let me know any medical or behavioral concerns that will help me to care for your pet at my best. It is always helpful to understand anything I should look out for ahead of time.
