Bad Dogs Welcome!

Pet care experience

Hello! Here I am ladies, gentlemen and friends beyond the binary, send me your bad dogs! I’m Kelly, I recently found myself looking for pet care and discovered how difficult it is to find somebody who can be trusted with animals that aren’t super easy to watch. I have been fostering animals for close to five years but loving them my entire life. I’m happy to help with all sizes and shapes of pets. I specialize in puppies/kittens, senior dogs and high activity breeds! I volunteer for Hairy Houdini Siberian Husky Rescue but have worked with Michelle's rescue as well. Due to this, my forever pets love company and are used to new friends spending time in our home. I have been a pet owner my whole life but as an adult I found my calling for taking in the pets that needed special love and attention. In 2020 I adopted Honey bee, a Siberian Husky that was 10 years old. She is now 14 and living her best life with her little sister Thea who came into our lives in 2022. My cat BC is also 14 and I’ve had her since she was a kitten, she’s been through the thick of it with me! Apollo is the newest addition to our family. He was my nephew’s cat who chose to be mine after staying with me for just under a year. He LOVES to snuggle with other animals and is always happy for guests. I am comfortable with administering medications to your pets (as my senior animals take medications) and I am able to help with post-surgery care if needed! Can’t wait to meet you!

Kelly did great with a drop in visit with my dogs. Asha is a senior lab with some health issues and Nala is very anxious but they both seemed happy and relaxed. Kelly sent pictures and updates and I would definitely hire her again.

Kelly was outstanding and I’m so pleased with how she cared for my fur baby. I would recommend her to anyone, and she will be my first call whenever I need to be out of town.

Kelly has a great way with dogs and puppies. I can't believe how she can command a room full of dogs (we get together with a half dozen typically) without stress or anxiety. She loves the high spirited breeds like huskies and has raised and fostered several dogs across the lifespan. I would let her care for my dog (and have) or keep her for a day anytime!

I can’t recommend Kelly enough! She’s a knowledgeable and attentive animal caregiver. I’ve never seen her without a dog by her side and they love her as much as she loves them!

I work 8-5 M-Th but live very near to work. I typically let the dogs hang out in the yard for the morning while I get ready, let them out at lunch time (usually about 40 minutes of outdoor time) and take them for a 2ish mile walk after work. Depending on the week I should have no issue increasing my stops at home if necessary during the weekday. As far as weekends go I should be home hanging with the dogs for the most part, with maybe running an errand here and there!
