Pet care experience
I have had at least two dogs my entire life, and up to four. I have extensive experience working in a professional setting with dogs, cats, and many other species of animals. I have experience working as a full-time animal trainer in multiple marine mammal parks. In the past I have worked at boarding facilities and vet offices, as a pet caretaker and a technician. My dog experience ranges from one-on-one time with individuals, to watching large packs with dynamic social structure. I have personal experience with German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Labs, Poodles, Cattle-dogs, Golden Retrievers, and a variety of terrier breeds. I am also comfortable watching cats, hamsters, rabbits, small and medium bird species, and fish tanks. Due to my own animals I cannot offer boarding at my own home.

Kelly is always fantastic!! She knows Bruno and he is becoming more and more comfortable. Kelly is accommodating, honest, and completely trustworthy. Its really great being able to count on someone to take care of Bruno while we're away!
Our dogs love Kelly so much!! Wonderful to work with!
Kelly is great with our fur babies. They love to cuddle with her and get belly rubs!!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for the pets I watch by providing a safe environment for them. My time as an animal trainer gave me insight into their behavior, and my time as a veterinary technician has prepared me to take care of pets in medical situations.
Information Kelly P. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to know the age, breed and general temperament of the dogs before working with them, and to be introduced to them by the owner before watching them.
A typical day
I prefer to tailor my activities to the dog I am watching. I know that some dogs love to socialize at dog parks, while others prefer individual attention. We will go on walks or spend time with a favorite toy depending on what they prefer.

Availability
I am currently in school at the UF College of Veterinary Medicine full-time, but most days I can accommodate walks or a couple of drop-in visits. On my days off I love to take care of all kinds of fur babies!
