I am currently working from home. This allows for a flexible schedule for me to go out on frequent walks or even potty breaks as well as long stays at the park for play time. Also, seeing as I am always home I am an avid believer in cuddles, pets, and scratches while getting work done.

Safety, trust & environment

I am always available to give your dog the attention and play time they need, whether that is inside or outside the house. I always aim to walk to nearby parks and spend lots of time there. I’m aware not all dogs get along with other dogs and I can always adjust for those situations.

Information Kelly R. would like to know about your pet

If you let me know if any special needs or fears your dog has I can easily accommodate them. Every pup is different with a unique personality and I love getting to know what they love and what they may not love in order to give them the best care.

A typical day

I like to take pups to grassy areas where they feel safe and it’s more comfortable to play and potty at. I’m close to many parks in East Boston and am willing to travel to walk or stay with your pup.

Pet care experience

I’m an avid walker, city traveler and photographer. Nothing missing but a furry friend to walk with. Before moving to college I had rescued Cisca, an elegant indoor cat in her middle age. And later, Tyler, a six month old Cockapoo, whom I trained and ran at the nearby middle school field in my hometown. Once Tyler was trained properly and we had a stable level of trust, I offered to walk my neighbors sweet middle aged Frenchie Chihuahua mix, Henley. While living in San Francisco I walked dozens of doggos over the years. I have always had a strong affinity to animals and respect them dearly, in all their individualities. I accept the level of parenting involved in handling animals and understand there are some pets with certain boundaries to be respected. I am very eager to return to servicing animals and getting to know all the different furry friends that live here in the city.

Kelly was great! She watched our 2 dogs while we were away and gave us daily updates. She also cleaned up before she left. Thank you Kelly!
