Pet care experience
'Pawsitively' Loved by Kelly
Hi, I'm Kelly! I work from home full-time and provide loving, reliable pet care tailored to your dog's individual needs. Whether you're looking for boarding, doggy day care, house sitting, dog walking or drop-in visits, your pet will be treated like one of the family. I live with my partner Nikolai who also helps walk and take care of our visitors. I have a secure garden and a friendly resident dog, Mabel, who loves making new friends and is a wonderful companion for sociable dogs. However, I understand that not every dog enjoys the company of others. If your dog prefers their own space, I'm happy to accommodate this with separate walks, individual care and house sitting, ensuring they feel comfortable, relaxed and receive my full attention. I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, so every guest receives plenty of one-to-one attention, regular walks, playtime, cuddles and companionship in a calm, loving home. I've had dogs, cats and horses all my life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbours and family have regularly relied on me to feed, walk, play with and look after their pets while away. I'm patient, trustworthy, flexible and genuinely love animals, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. Whether it's an energetic puppy, a senior dog who enjoys a slower pace, or a pet with a specific routine, I'll always follow your instructions carefully. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and receiving the same love and attention they'd get at home.

Ratings and reviews
Kelly is so lovely and helpful! We booked our dog to stay with her fairly last minute and she was so accommodating. Throughout our dog’s stay, Kelly kept us updated with how things were going which made us feel reassured she was in safe hands. We would definitely recommend Kelly!
Perfect sitter! This was Bruce’s 2nd visit to Kelly and he was so excited to be back. Her dog Mabel is so lovely and tolerant for Bruce who is an energetic dog. Kelly communicates frequently through the day so you’re not left wondering. Bruce came home walked, fed and very sleepy so he must have had a great day! Thank you 🐶🥰
We met Kelly today at our house for a "meet and greet" for our pup, Cody. Not only was Kelly so incredibly sweet but we could instantly tell she was a hit with Cody and he really took to her. Kelly is clearly very experienced and in tune with the dogs in her care and we are looking forward to using her services for Cody in the future.
Another great stay with Kelly Nikolai and Mabel. Arlo always has a great time and Kelly always keeps us updated on his antics!
As always Arlo had such a great time with Kelly Nikolai and Mabel! They take such good care of Arlo making sure that a wound on his tail was kept clean and he kept his cone on. Not an easy feat! Would highly recommend booking Kelly and the team.
Kelly was very attentive to my dog's needs and superb at handling my dog! I told Kelly a number of things such as feeding habits, walking habits and some of my dog's quirks, and she remembered all these things and took such good care of my dog. Kelly is very caring and trustworthy, and I'll definitely be booking doggy daycare with her again. Also, Kelly's dog Mabel is such a gentle and easy going dog, so it was really nice to leave my dog Jina with her, knowing that Mabel would be patient with my dog and and a calm influence on her. Thank you Kelly for taking such good care of my dog 😊

Schedule
I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for pets throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I’m happy to offer walks, drop-ins, play dates and plenty of companionship and attention. I’ve had animals all my life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel comfortable, loved and well cared for. I’m also always ready for a doggy cappuccino treat and cuddle break!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, safe and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets in someone else’s care and always make sure they feel comfortable, secure and well looked after. I follow owners’ routines carefully, including feeding, walking and medication instructions, and I’m happy to give regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
Pets
A typical day
Every pet is treated like one of the family. A typical day is filled with plenty of love, playtime, cuddles, and attention tailored to their personality and routine. We'll enjoy exciting walks, explore local parks and new sniffing spots, play interactive games to keep both mind and body active, and, of course, there'll be plenty of time for belly rubs, treats (if allowed!), and cosy naps. Whether your pet loves chasing a ball, exploring the outdoors, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they have a fun, safe, and happy day while you're away.

- Please let me know about your pet's routine, personality, any medical conditions, allergies, medications, feeding time, or behaviours I should be aware of before their stay. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I'm happy to care for most friendly, well-socialised dogs that are up to date with their vaccinations.
