Highlights
Pet care experience
dog/cat mom + pet lover 🐾
I’ve been a dog mom to a 10 year old Carolina-mix named Jake for nine years and a cat mom to Silas since he found us at just 10 weeks old back in 2021. I love meeting new pets and would love to take care of yours when you’re away or out of town. I know how stressful it can be trying to find someone reliable and trustworthy to watch after your pet and I hope I can make your decision a little easier. If you’re visiting the Monterey area from out of town, welcome! We live just 3 miles from Cannery Row and the Monterey Aquarium, so if you’re looking for daycare while you explore downtown, my home is the perfect choice. Our dog-friendly neighborhood has several dog parks within walking distance and our fenced backyard is an ideal spot for your fur baby to soak up some sun. Your pup can expect to get lots of attention and will have plenty of human company while they’re here! I’m home the majority of the day — I take two classes at the Naval Postgraduate School, and when I’m in class, my husband is usually home with our animals. Your dog will be treated like family while they’re here. Every pup is different, so I spend a lot of time getting to know each and every one. Being in a new environment can be confusing for some dogs, so they have full access to explore our home, allowing them to find a spot that makes them feel comfortable. I pay extra special attention to their eating habits, potty break routine, and overall temperament. I tailor my approach to each pup and their unique personality to ensure they are at ease and feel relaxed during their stay! I also love to send a lot of photos and updates while you’re away so you can rest assured your fur babies are in good hands. I look forward to spoiling your dogs and can’t wait to meet you!

Ratings and reviews
Ruthie had a great day with Kelly and her fur babies! Kelly is a sweet, compassionate and gentle person who we can tell loves all animals!! Ruthie was cared for and loved during her stay and slept exceptionally well when we brought her home. We think she was even a little bit lonely not having her fur buddies nearby. We will definitely book with Kelly again!!!!!!
Kelly was great! Oscar came home so happy and full of energy — it was clear that he got a lot of attention and love while we were gone. Thank you Kelly.
Kelly did an amazing job with our two Goldens! She’s great with dogs and very professional!
Kelly far surpasses my expectations. My husband, son and I were in town visiting and wanted to take my son to h th e aquarium. I’ve never used rover before but has heard good things. I was anxious about leaving our dog with someone she did not know but she instantly took to her! I was shocked truly because she is picky. It was the best decision and the next time we are in Monterey we will ABSOLUTELY be booking Kelly in advance 💕
Kelly is the best! She is so attentive to our dogs needs and personality. He walks right up to the door, which is always a good sign! We are so happy we found such a wonderful place for our beloved dog to stay when we go out of town. Highly, highly recommend!
Kelly is awesome and takes into consideration my pooch’s mood and energy level, which changes frequently! Great communication and love the photos!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I’m a full-time graduate student at Naval Postgraduate School with plenty of free time in-between classes, in the evenings, and on weekends. My typical routine involves a long walk in the morning with my pup, usually about a mile. Then in the afternoon, we go out for another walk/run to get some exercise. There’s always an evening, pre-bedtime walk, as well, and we go to our local dog park often!
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
We have a two-story home with plenty of space to roam. If your baby isn’t equipped to maneuver up and down stairs, we do have a doggy gate that we can use to keep them on the ground floor. Pups can also enjoy the breeze and sun from our fenced backyard. We live in a wonderful neighbor with plenty of sidewalks to go on our daily walks, too, and the dog park is just around the corner! I’m happy to accommodate pets who are crate-trained and those who are not. If you’re working on any commands, routines, or behaviors, please let me know so I can continue training.

A typical day
I love to stay active so your pup can enjoy lots of walks (or runs if they’re up for it)! We can take trips to the dog park, play fetch in our backyard, and and enjoy exploring the beautiful Monterey area.
