If your dog is a runner we will run them. We take them for walks and do frequent visits to the dog park. We have two playful pups of our own so there is no shortage of friends to play with

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.

Great communication, prompt. Niko is a nervous pup, but eased in and played with Kelly’s dogs.

Kelly is amazing, she was so easy to communicate with, treated our pups like her own, and has teenagers who keep the dogs super happy and active! On top of that she accommodated a last minute request and did a huge favor for us. Thank you Kelly!

Kelly was so helpful! I had to leave town last minute and she was super accommodating as we were rushing to leave. She’s very friendly and Charlie seemed to have a great time. I appreciated knowing he was in good hands.
