Ready For a Doggy Vacation? We are!
Pet care experience
After leaving my dog at a boarding facility once, where she was cooped up in a pen all day, I was inspired to provide the best quality doggy vacations for other dog moms and dads looking for an enriching PLAY-cation for your fur baby while you're away. Coming from a rural background, I've been around animals of all kinds my entire life. I currently care for our small hobby farm where we have chickens, turkeys, a dog, an indoor cat and a handful of barn cats. I'm currently working toward becoming a dog trainer and my favorite thing to do with my dog is go for long hikes along the many great trails in the Chautauqua area. I work part-time from home so I've got plenty of time and attention for your precious pooch in order to make their vacation one they will adore! While I do not have a fenced yard, I do keep the dogs on tie outs or leashed in the yard while I'm outside with them unless it's proven that they have really great recall and off-leash is approved by you. When I'm inside, I have a cozy home and extra doggy beds where your baby can relax. In the summer, we have a pond to cool off in or we can take a walk at either of the lakes (Erie or Chautauqua.) There are trails in the area where we like to go for daily walks as well. If your little pal requires a quiet crate, that can be absolutely be accommodated as well.

As usual, Kelly did not disappoint us. I am so happy to have found Kelly to sit for our fur baby, Sherpa, and will continue to use her when needed. Sherpa was exposed to so many new things (barnyard cat, chickens, Alpacas, and her dog Dakota)during his stay. She also provided fun walks and different experiences. Thank you Kelly for taking such good care of Sherpa in our absence. Your the best!
This was the first time Sherpa stayed with a Rover sitter so I was a little apprehensive. Kelly was amazing! She and her husband took Sherpa to the market and then for a swim in Chautauqua lake with her dog Dakota. She also washed him down after the swim and cleaned his ears. Kelly sent pictures and kept me abreast of how Sherpa was doing throughout the day. We booked another stay with Kelly at the end of the month. I highly recommend Kelly as your fur baby’s sitter.
As first time parents with a 3 month old baby, we felt bad that Nala wasn’t getting enough exercise. So we asked Kelly to take Nala on adventures whenever they were taking their dog Dakota. Kelly was super communicative and accommodating, and Nala had the best time swimming at Lake Erie! She came home t. I highly recommend Kelly and I trust that Nala is always in good loving hands with them!
Kelly (and her husband) were fantastic! I booked a last minute trip from DC to the area where I wanted to have my dog close by. She was very accommodating knowing that we couldn’t do a meet and great beforehand. Kelly also has a welcoming home and offered up anything she had for my dog so I did not need to bring everything on the long car ride. My dog is pretty big and has some specific requests (like medication and a gentle leader). Kelly was great about understanding his size and seemed to feel comfortable with him. I also got daily updates where she took him on long walks. I was a little nervous because my dog is all white and he will always find a way to get dirty when we leave the city, but he was returned clean and healthy! Would definitely use Kelly again when I take my next trip up.
