Information Kelly S. would like to know about your pet

We only ask that your dog is friendly with other dogs as I have two of my own and larger children (teenagers) as the neighbor kids next door are often out and love to interact with the pups.

A typical day

We have so many toys and love playing out in the yard. We take walks around the neighborhood and love to say hi to all of the other pups and people.

Kelly was great with my anxious old pup. As soon as we arrived he jumped out and made himself at home. Her dogs were very welcoming to a guest. They had plenty of space to roam around and sniff in her fully fenced yard. Kelly has a relaxed demeanor which is very helpful for you and your dog when dropping them off for a trip.I felt confident in her care and would recommend Kelly to anyone.

Kelly was absolutely fantastic! Winston had such a good time running around the yard with her dogs. She treated Winston like one of her own and he came home happy and worn out! I will definitely be bringing Winston back next time we go out of town!

Kelly was amazing! We reached out last minute to see if she could watch Hamilton, and she didn’t hesitate for a second. She took such great care of him and treated him like one of her own. She was quick to respond, communicative, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!
