Pet care experience

I have owned and cared for dogs since I was young! Since starting our own family we have had at least two dogs for our four boys to love and care for! We currently have a 15 year old border collie (I am great with senior care), and almost 3 year old border collie mix. Our young dog loves other dogs and we have been dog sitting to bring more friends to play with! We have a fenced in yard as well as many dog parks near by. I am an avid runner and run daily, so if your dog is willing, they’ll get some exercise! We do allow animals on furniture and near us or we will crate if needed. I believe in doing what makes the animal most comfortable. I’ll also provide many photos and updates to ease your Mind! We do have 4 boys (19, 17, 13, and 10) who are also animal lovers and like to help out so there will be no shortage of love here! I know how difficult affordable and trustworthy pet care can be and wanted to provide services to families looking for it as well as provide friends for our pup! We live in San Clemente and are flexible! If your dog is prone to running or escaping when in new surroundings please let us know so we can be extra vigilant. I’d also recommend adding a Apple air tag or some sort of tracking just in case they are able to escape. Your pets safety is our number one concern.

Kelly was professional and communicative the entirety of our dogs stay. He stayed with Kelly for three weeks and she provided regular updates with photos and took our dog for regular runs! Thankful for her support and providing a safe place for our dog to stay. Will absolutely be using Kelly’s services again!

I finally found someone that can take care of my Australian Shepard in a safe and wonderful environment! Kelly made sure my dog received daily runs and non stop play time with her pups. Perfect match!
