29 Years Dog Experience & Love
With nearly three decades as a devoted dog mom, I understand that every dog is unique with their own personality, needs, and quirks. My 29 years of hands-on experience means I've cared for dogs through every life stage - from energetic puppies learning their first commands to gentle seniors needing extra comfort and patience. I've developed a keen eye for reading canine body language and behavior, helping anxious dogs feel secure and keeping active pups properly exercised and mentally stimulated. What truly sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs combined with the wisdom that only comes from years of dedicated pet parenthood. Your furry family member won't just be watched - they'll be loved, understood, and cared for as if they were my own.

Ratings and reviews
Kelly is such a wonderful dog sitter! She’s thoughtful, caring, and truly great with dogs. She always makes sure to send us updates and lots of pictures, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Most importantly, our dog absolutely loves her—we can tell how happy and comfortable he is whenever she’s around. We feel so lucky to have found her!
Kelly has been my go-to person for taking care of my dogs for the past 11 years. She started out by helping to do "doggie daycare" a couple days a week when our dog was a puppy and couldn't be left home alone all day. Since then, she's taken our two dogs for many of our vacations, including a recent 2 1/2-week long trip. Kelly always goes the extra mile, making sure our dogs are very well cared for and given lots of walks, love and attention. As soon as we pull into Kelly's driveway, they go crazy with excitement to be there! I couldn't recommend her more for dog sitting needs!
Kelly is one of the most compassionate and loving people I know. She has endless patience, and it’s clear she genuinely cares for every dog she looks after as if they were her own. I always know my dog is in the best hands when she’s around. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated sitter.
Kelly is the best dog sitter I've ever used. She's quick and easy to communicate with, goes above and beyond for our dog with walks and fun outings, and she always provides photos and updates along the way. Our dog absolutely loves her and I always feel comfortable knowing that she's in good hands with Kelly. I'd strongly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a sitter or walker.
Kelly is absolutely wonderful!! She’s so attentive and loving, and I never have to worry when I leave my pup with her because I know she’s in the best hands. She always sends regular updates, which gives me peace of mind, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares. Kelly is also a pro at administering medication, which is a relief given that my dog has a few regular pills to take. Best of all, my dog turns into a giant wiggly worm every time she sees Kelly knowing she’s about to be showered with love! I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!
Kelly (and Kevin and Bodhi) have been our go to for dog sitting for years. we love that they are right next to a park, and love that Kelly is there most of the time doing her training.... that means the dogs have things going on all day, and lots of activities. Our dog loves it!

Schedule
As a fitness instructor working about 10 hours per week, I have an incredibly flexible schedule that's perfect for pet care. The majority of my time is spent working from home, which means I'm available throughout the day to provide attention, playtime, and companionship. My fitness background also means I understand the importance of regular exercise - both for myself and the dogs in my care. I naturally incorporate dog walks and active play into my daily routine, often timing outdoor activities around my own workout schedule. This ensures your pup gets plenty of physical activity and mental stimulation. Since I work from home, dogs are never left alone for extended periods. They become part of my daily routine - morning walks before I start work, midday play sessions and potty breaks, and evening walks or park visits. My schedule easily adapts to each dog's specific needs, whether that's multiple short walks for a senior dog or high-energy play sessions for younger pups. The combination of my flexible schedule, active lifestyle, and home-based work creates the perfect environment for providing consistent, attentive care throughout the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, securely gated backyard with direct access to a nearby park for walks and extended playtime. Dogs stay inside my home and sleep indoors for safety and comfort - no garage or outdoor sleeping. During the day when I'm home, they have free access to move between inside and outside as they please. I maintain their regular feeding schedule and any special dietary requirements, provide fresh water at all times, and ensure they get appropriate exercise based on their age and energy level. I follow all medication schedules and special care instructions exactly as provided. For anxious or senior dogs, I offer extra comfort and patience, while energetic pups get plenty of mental stimulation and play. I send regular photo and text updates so you know your furry family member is happy and well-cared for. My goal is to maintain your dog's routine as closely as possible while showering them with the love and attention they deserve. Safety is always my top priority - secure fencing, pet-proofed spaces, and constant supervision when needed.
