I'm home full time & LOVE furbabies

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you for considering my children and I, for caring for your fur-baby! I have cared for my own animals since I was a child, we have been foster parents for litters of kittens & puppies, rescued numerous animals, and have been sitters for years. Our latest rescue took us about 8 months. We took in 16 purebred Bengal cats from Russia who were sold to be breeding cats. They all had every parasite and health issue imaginable. We got them all healthy, spayed/neutered and adopted. They are now living their best lives. My two children are 13 & 15, and have never not had pets until our last "pup" passed away at age 14. My children and I have so much love to give your pup and it would seriously fill our hearts to do so! We love to go for walks, play outside, and snuggle inside too! We have a pawtastic, backyard that's FULLY fenced, with a great big deck that we love to sunbathe on and play catch in the grass. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with wide streets and hardly any traffic. Each day we go for walks and have unlimited indoor and outdoor playtime at home. My children and I are so happy to have this opportunity to take care of your furry family member and we promise to love them like they were our own! I have cared for my own elderly dogs, and am very comfortable giving medications, keeping up with trainings, etc. I have personally trained many dogs, and have dealt with just about every health issue possible. I am very confident in my abilities to care for animals. Just give us your rules and we will be more than happy to follow them :) We are home 24x7 to supervise your pups, and can provide transportation to a vet in case of a pup-mergency. We can't wait to meet you and your fur-babies!! We recently just added to our family and we have a Goldendoodle puppy who is the sweetest thing. He's in the process of being trained and just adores other dogs. Because my children are teenagers, we always have someone home. We take regular potty breaks and are very in tune with our clients needs. We treat your pups as if they were our own. Our backyard is fully fenced. We have a vet less than a mile away in case of emergencies. I have dealt with health issues, diet requirements, elderly animals (including deaf and blind), anxiety, etc. I have worked with many non-profit rescues and know a lot about pet care.

So happy to have found Kelly and Bryce! Always nervous to leave our geriatric dogs with a sitter, but they were well cared for by dog loving individuals and my 3 doggos enjoyed their new people for the weekend! Thank you for the updates and photos, makes us feel more comfortable leaving our pets in your care. ♥️

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed Kelly and her family watching our dog! She communicated with us daily sending videos and/or pictures. We felt comfortable having our dog there and would book again if needed.

We very much appreciated the daily updates and photos while our pups were staying with Kelly and her family. We are usually nervous to leave them behind when we go out of town. They were happy when we arrived back and seemed to have had a nice vacay too.

Kelly was awesome with our dogs for 3 weeks. She regularly sent pictures and videos showing two hasn’t dogs playing and running around her yard. One of our dogs is a senior dog that was more grumpy that I thought he would be but she handled him so well.

Information Kelly R. would like to know about your pet

Is your pup current on vaccinations? Is your pup Crate-Trained? Do they have any type of anxiety? Are they escape artists? ? Are they afraid of thunderstorms? Do they require any medications? Are they Dog and Kid friendly? Have they ever had an incident with another dog at a dog park or otherwise? Any other info you think may be relevant ?

A typical day

We always wake up and go potty first thing. I love to enjoy my morning tea while playing fetch and getting out some energy in our backyard. Then we have breakfast, more playtime outside (including walks) before it gets too hot. The pups usually get tuckered out and take naps after that. Then depending on who we have and their energy levels we may go to a park or just hang in the backyard. If it's a really hot day, I'll fill up the little doggy pool and we can have some fun in the water if they are into that. I always follow your feeding schedules, but usually we eat dinner around 5pm and then back out for some fun. We let our clients dictate our days with how much energy they have.
