Pet Care By Kelly
Pet care experience
My name is Kelly. I grew up in the town of Park Ridge, but currently live in Westwood. I have been a petsitter/house sitter for 25 years (more than half of my life!!!). I am available for Doggy Day Care where I care for your pet in my home any time in the morning to any time you can pick them up in the afternoon/evening. I am also available to schedule boarding overnight in my home -OR- where I stay and take care of your pet and your home while you are away for a set amount of days. Throughout my career, I have experience working with pets that have demanding nutritional needs, such as cooking fresh meals to strictly follow any pet’s own individual meal plans. I have had a lot of experience working with senior dogs & dogs with disabilities. Also, I have worked with pets that had an array of medical needs that required medication. Therefore, I have a wealth of experience administering oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, topical creams & gels, and medication given via intramuscular injection (injections given in the muscle of your pet). I have taken classes and have been certified by the American Red Cross to provide the Heimlich Maneuver -&- I am Pet CPR certified!!! I also have experience working as a dog groomer, however, a lot of time has passed since I have groomed in the salon. Once I start reviewing my notes and clip a couple of dogs/cats, it will all come back to me. *THEN* I will offer the “more involved” Grooming Services. However, if you need a simple shave down or a simple trim to tidy everything up, I’d be more than happy to provide that for you. That would be absolutely no problem at all! If you are interested in speaking with me regarding what you are looking for in a pet sitter and/or house sitter, I’d be more than happy to have a chat with you! I am looking forward to the possibility of working with you in the future!!! 🐾💖 ~ Kelly
Reviews
Kelly is one of the most kindest and most loving people I've ever met. She took the best care of our dog and I am sure to be using her as often as possible. You cannot choose a better person to take care of your pet. She is trustworthy and courteous and easy to get to know. I recommend her highly.
Kelly did a great job! Banksy had a great time with her and she regularly communicated with us including photos and videos.
Kelly is a wonderful sitter and we would definitely book her again! When you book with her she will be with the dog 24/7 and you can tell your dog is her absolute top priority. Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety, so knowing that Kelly would be there with her all day was honestly more than I ever could have expected when looking for a sitter. I can tell Nova had a wonderful time and received pictures and videos throughout the stay! If you don’t believe me schedule a meeting and you’ll see for yourself that she truly takes pride in her work and loves animals.
Kelly did a great job taking care of my dog. My dog absolutely loved her and was sad to see her go! I recommend Kelly because she is truly an animal lover and cares for them accordingly.

I play with them in and outside of my home (If the weather allows -&- I have your permission!) Just to be super safe, I *ALWAYS* keep dogs/cats on leash whenever we are outside!!! While we are inside… my house is their house! They are allowed on the furniture and on my bed to sleep during the night!!
Home
Information Kelly S. would like to know about your pet
I require to know all their health history, if they are on any medications, if I have to administer any medication, how to administer it, is there a special diet, any triggers to bring out anger, jealousy, even happiness!!!
A typical day
We will go on walks. Possible water or kiddy-pool play, play with a ball/frisbee, learn/practice jumps, possibly go to the dog park, sit on the couch and watch tv, take a nap, etc.
