Loving Care You Can Trust 🐕

Hey there! My name is Kelly, and I’m an experienced pet lover with over 10+ years of hands on care for dogs of all ages, and cats! from energetic puppies to senior companions. I have two cats of my own (and a fish too!), so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. As a full-time college student, I pet sit on the side to help pay off student loans, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. 🐾

Kelly was great with my dog Potter! She’s very professional and attentive to details, she took great care of my dog’s needs and he looked so happy in the pictures she shared. 10/10 would recommend Kelly and she’s now my got to sitter in the Carrboro area.

Kelly was great! I have a small breed terrier mix puppy with separation anxiety and that is still learning some leash training. I cannot walk as fast as Maddie needs and so it was great to have someone that can walk faster or run with her. The hand off went great as well. Maddie was comfortable going with Kelly and happy when she returned. I’m so thankful that she was able to get the walk in that I can’t give her Due to my disabilities. I would definitely use her again.

Schedule

I’m a full-time college student completing my classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available all week from morning to evening and can easily adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I’m extremely organized, reliable, and always make sure each pet gets consistent, attentive care. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex and have two cats of my own, so I’m very mindful of creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I have space to comfortably care for another cat or a small dog, and I make sure every pet feels at home with their own designated area. There are also several great spots around my complex for walks and fresh air. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. I also offer cleaning services, including litter box maintenance, accident clean-up, and keeping feeding areas tidy, so your pet stays happy and comfortable. 🐾

Pets

A typical day

A typical day is full of fun, comfort, and routine! I start with feeding and check-ins, followed by playtime or a nice walk depending on your pet’s needs. Throughout the day, I include plenty of attention, cuddles, and enrichment whether that’s toys, outdoor time, or just relaxing together. I keep their routine consistent, end the day with a final walk or play session (maybe even a little treat! 🦴), and make sure they’re settled, happy, and cared for. 🐾

Cats
Kelly can host up to 1 pet per night
I’d love to know their routine, favorite activities, any medical needs, and behavioral quirks. This helps me provide the best care and comfort for them.
