Passionate and caring dog lover

Pet care experience

To me, dogs are more than just best friends. They're family. There was never a time in my life when I didn't have a dog to care for- my family has always lived by the philosophy that a dog makes a house a home and I have carried that on. Dog sitting and walking is my full time job and passion. It is my calling and favorite thing in the world- caring for, training, and playing with dogs! I am a huge animal advocate and am certified in dog first aid and CPR. I am licensed, bonded, and carry my own pet sitter's insurance through Pet Sitters Associates LLC. I have experience with paraplegic and other special needs pets. I will spend our time together completely devoted to providing a wonderful time for your pet. They will have my undivided love and attention to their individual needs. We will work together to figure out a customized plan tailored to your pet's needs. I know it's difficult being separated from your fur babies. It can be stressful on you and your dog. I promise I will do my very best to make it as stress free as possible on both your sides. You can count on me to give the best quality care for your dog while knowing they are going to have a safe and great time with me. I will send you plenty of updates on how they're doing along with pictures of the fun we are having. You have nothing to worry about while they are in my hands. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. We can't wait to set up a meet and greet with you!

She was just wonderful and it was obvious that Maisie loved her. We highly recommend Kelly to take care of your fur babies!

Information Kelly R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dog's daily routine. I will keep it as close to normal as possible so that the dog has a pleasant and relaxing stay. Also, how the dog does with other dogs (if visits to the dog park will be acceptable to dog parents) and if they have any special needs such as separation anxiety that I should know about. At the meet and greet, I will provide a Pet Sitter's Guide that I will ask you to fill out so I can get to know your dog better. I also require that all dogs have up to date rabies vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives for the safety of mine and other dogs that I sit for. All breeds are wonderful and gladly accepted.

A typical day

I love going on walks at the beach (if okay with pet parents!) and around the neighborhood and playing fetch. Snuggles are also given freely and happily!
