Safety, trust & environment

My cats are escape artists so I'm very familiar with opening doors carefully to avoid it. I also make sure to keep a diligent eye on the animals toys to make sure they're not destroying it and eating parts.

Information Kelly P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any behaviors to watch for - do they escape from doors? Eat toys? Not good with other dogs or big dogs? Will chase squirrels or other small animals? Any food allergies or sensitivities. I like specific details.

A typical day

I know your pets will be missing you so I'll be sure to keep them active. Happy to play with toys, go for a nice long walk and always give treats if allowed! We can walk by the lake and smell all the dog smells. I'll pet where allowed after your animal gets used to me and is comfortable. Or we can just hang out and watch some pet youtube!

All Animals Love Me

Pet care experience

I have a lot of years in animal rescue and fostering kittens. I volunteered at PAWS and Anti-Cruelty, with dogs and cats. I fostered kittens for over ten years before finally adopting my own cats. I grew up with Wheaten Terriers and always watched the pets of friends and family. All animals can tell a good person and gravitate towards them. I love animals much more than people!

Kelly was great and super communicative! It was really nice to go away and know my girls were in such great hands. Plus the pictures everyday made us so happy!

Kelly did an amazing job watching my two kitties while I was abroad. She wrote great updates, played with them a lot, and ensured they had everything they needed to be comfortable while I was gone. It was so nice to come home to clean litter boxes and happy kitties. Will definitely rebook with Kelly the next time I need a sitter!
