Professional. Works from home 🐾

Pet care experience

Routines are extremely important for animals when their owners are away. Have peace of mind when you are away, with someone in charge who has owned and taken care of dogs all their life! I currently own my own business & I work from home as an online therapist. I have found that dogs LOVE to sit with me all day while I do my therapy sessions (who wouldn’t love cuddles and belly scratches for 6hrs a day!). Because of my flexibility, I have lots of free time to take care of your best friend! I have 20 years of house-sitting experience (horses, dogs, cats, chickens). I can be flexible and accommodate any dog. Special needs, senior dogs, puppies/training, surgical recovery. Other things about me: I fostered dogs in the Caribbean for 5 years, worked with animals in therapeutic environments, and believe most rescues, rescue us.. Just Ask Me!

Apuka clearly had a wonderful time with Kelly! I highly recommend her and look forward to have her watch Apuka in the future!

Kelly did a wonderful job taking care of our two pugs (and home) while we were away and was able to accommodate our last-minute request! Prior to booking the stay, Kelly took the time to come to our home to meet the boys and learn more about their routine, which we really appreciated. She sent us daily updates with photos and video, and she made sure to ask questions if she wasn’t sure of something. She was very attentive. I would highly recommend her to take care of your dogs and home while you are away. We will definitely ask her to watch them again!

Kelly was awesome when she spent the night to take care of our dogs. She was friendly, experienced, and very easy to coordinate and communicative with. We would love to have her again!

Information Kelly R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the dog's preferences and schedule so it is an easier transition for the both of us. Does your dog have a cute way to let you know something? I want to know that too..... No breed preferences, I have never met a dog I didn't like.

A typical day

Every dog is different, so every walk, check-in, home-stay is different! I will keep your dog's routine, plus keeping in mind any anxiety that they may have with you away (perks of being a therapist!). Anything is game..Beach, park, car rides, throwing the tennis ball or watching a movie.
