Kind dog lover

Pet care experience

I've owned labs my whole life. I helped my parents care for our family labs (one that lived to 13 and another that suffered from cancer and died at age 4). Then, my husband and I had a lab of our own when we first moved in together, before kids. Now my family and I have our own lab who we are in love with! Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets when they work or travel. My goal is to keep your pup happy and safe. I will shower your dog with love and attention and make sure they get what they need throughout the day. I will treat your dogs like my own.

This was our first time leaving Ollie with Kelly and we were so happy with everything! Ollie got along so well with the other dogs in the house and he was so comfortable he wasn’t anxious about me leaving. I got multiple updates and photos throughout his stay and Kelly’s response time was so fast. Ollie got to play and play and got plenty of snuggles and was very well loved. I will definitely be using Kelly in the future when Ollie needs care.
