Friends call me the pet whisperer.
Pet care experience
I always had pets growing up. Dogs, cats, budgies, cockatiels, rabbits, a horse, and fish. I'm also the go-to pet sitter for my friends, neighbors, and coworkers. I volunteered at a veterinary clinic my last 2 years of high school assisting the veterinarian with handling dogs during checkups, bathing borders, and making home visits. My dream right up until mid-college was to become a veterinarian. What stopped me was seeing those animals who were abused by their owners being treated and returned to those same owners, because we had no proof they caused the injuries. It broke my heart every time. I am currently a Dog Care Volunteer with the Animal Protection Society of Durham. I love to spend time giving and receiving some soul loving from our furry friends whether as a volunteer or pet sitter. 🙂 I am also an animal Reiki practitioner and animal crystal healer.
Reviews
Kelly did an amazing job in looking out for our special kitty, including some Reiki! Kelly even kept an eye out on our house with some packages & deliveries. This my first time using Rover & appreciate the service! I will recommend Kelly and Rover to others!
Kelly is a cat whisperer! Our cat Tad gets very anxious whenever we are out of town but he seemed much less anxious after spending time with Kelly as our sitter. He was happy to see us but didn't seem to be waiting by the door like he does when we're gone for long periods of time. I think its a testament to how calm Kelly is when she is with him. Kelly is a healing presence - we hope to work with her again!
Kelly did a fantastic job taking care of Maple!
I’ve lived in a handful of different areas over the time of having Dave (the cat) and using Rover when traveling and my experience with Kelly is the best, by far. She was always attentive and really helped us out with Dave, especially as he gets to be a little more senior. She would give us calls with updates and is just super personable the whole time. Thanks so much for all your help!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a small rented townhouse that is carpeted. My lease currently does not allow for me to have any pets of any kind. So, I'm not able to board pets. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walking for 30-60 minutes. Also, I can water your plants during the visits if you'd like me to.
Information Kelly N. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any anxieties or phobias, injuries, or allergies that I need to know about. Are they comfortable around children or other dogs during walks? There are no breed preferences.
A typical day
I take dogs on walks in the neighborhood or to a nearby public park. We play catch or tug of war with a rope. For both dogs and cats, I also curl up with them on the couch or floor for a snuggle and scratches.

Availability
I am currently working full-time as an energy healer and health coach during the week. So, my evenings and weekends are usually flexible for loving on fur babies. If located close enough, I can also swing by for a midday drop-in visit.
