I’m a full-time graduate student at Duke University! I build my class schedule to be flexible and with plenty of time throughout the day to provide ample care for your pet. However, I do not book over three months in advance to account for sudden, unavoidable lifestyle changes.

Safety, trust & environment

Both your pet and I will have a blast hanging out together! I love being active and playing, but enjoy a good nap and cuddle session on the couch just as much. Even if your pet is shy, I am willing to take the time to go at their pace to be comfortable. Whatever vibe they bring to the table, I can match it! I’m very thorough and meticulous about health and safety as well. Your pet will be in very good, loving hands.

Information Kelly P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any reactivity, important routines, favorite toys, concerning behaviors, or anything else you feel is significant for me to best care for your animal!

A typical day

I love spending anytime I am able to with animals. Whatever makes them the most happy, is my favorite activity. From walks/runs, tug of war, napping, fetch, belly rubs, etc. I’m thrilled to do whatever makes their tail wag/purr.

Pet care experience

As a lifelong equestrian, I’m a lover of all animals. I’ve done everything from walking dogs, feeding lizards, making friends with shy cats, to administering medication to horses. Animals bring me bunches of joy. I am committed to showing my appreciation for their love through kind, patient, enthusiastic care. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend soon!

Kelly is wonderful! Our animals absolutely love her and she sends so many pictures while we're gone. I will continue to rebook her :)!

Kelly did an outstanding job watching our dogs and house sitting! She's a natural with pets - my shy ones warmed up to her right away! We appreciated the frequent communication and the plentiful photos and all the little things she did to care for them and our house while we were away!

Great sitter! Kelly left the house super clean, sent tons of photos, and it was obvious that our dogs/cats had a blast with her. Will definitely continue to book Kelly when we are away!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
