Ready to love your furry friend!
Pet care experience
Hi all, I took quite a bit of a break with pet sitting and decided it may be time to start again. I am a Veterinary Technician part-time and have been working with animals for 12 years professionally and 21 years personally. I completed my veterinary technician program and graduated in 2015. I work remotely for an insurance company full-time which allows me to be home all hours of the day. I can handle all types of animals including, but not limited to reptiles, birds, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and more. I have multiple pets of my own (as well as human children) which does not allow me to stay at other houses often but, I would be more than happy to watch your furry friend at my place or drop-in for care! I am able to administer medications, trim nails, bathe, and more. My children are under the age of two and absolutely adore animals, just like their mom! (I promise they are very gentle). We have 5 cats and unfortunately lost our beloved Yorkie, Bella earlier in 2023. We miss having a dog in the home but feel it’s not our time to adopt. I feel pet sitting again will also give an opportunity for my oldest daughter to be around dogs, which she absolutely loves. (This means pets must be okay with children as well as cats.) I am more than happy to provide references for your comfort. I absolutely love caring for all animals. I am experienced and would love to love your fur, feathered, or scaly babies!
Reviews
Kelly was excellent! My dogs must have enjoyed her being there as they were not stressed like they normally are when we return home. She did a great job!
I have worked with Kelly for over six years now. Her love for animals is my favorite thing about her. Shes one of the most caring people I've ever met. I promise you she is the perfect fit to care for your fur or furless babies.
Kelly is an animal enthusiast. She is very trustworthy when she cares for our various animals while we are on vacation. Kelly is also reliable.
I highly recommend Kelly as a dog sitter. She not only has taken care of my dog on numerous occasions but she also cared for my horses, donkeys and cats. She stayed at my house when I went on long trips and took great care of the animals as well as my house and barn. She is very trustworthy and reliable. My dog loves her. The other animals loved her as well. Kelly took care of my animals on numerous occasions over an eight year span. She loves animals and takes great care of them. I have no doubt that you will love her as much as I have.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced In yard (town home) that allows your pet to run/ walk safely and freely around the property. I have areas in the house that will allow crating if needed however animals are welcome on the couch, bed, anywhere they choose.
Home
Information Kelly M. would like to know about your pet
I have been schooled and trained to work with aggressive animals and administering medications orally or Injectables is my specialty. (If your pet is aggressive I will have to do drop-in visits due to having cats and children this will prevent any issues and keep everyone and your pet safe). I have a very soft spot for senior pets and will do whatever is necessary to make sure they are comfortable and enjoy their senior years!
A typical day
I love going hiking and on trails. I love playing fetch with animals in large areas so they are able to exercise. Of course, relaxing with them and just spending time with pets is my favorite thing to do. The biggest thing is walking. We thankfully live in a safe neighborhood where we are able to walk with our kids and any pets!

Availability
I currently work full-time, however I work remotely. This allows flexibility in leaving the house for drop-in visits as well as walks. If I am watching a pet at my house, I am available 24/7 for potty breaks.
