Who wants to go for a walk?
Pet care experience
I started house sitting and pet sitting for neighbors when I was in grade school and have enjoyed doing it ever since. I work from home most of the time and look forward to having a reason to get out of the house and go for a walk with a cute four-legged friend or switch up my environment by checking in on a house and even houseplants!
Reviews
Our family was grateful to be able to leave our home and boxer mix rescue with Kelly - she was very thoughtful, organized, communicative and right away our dog was at ease with her. He was one happy pup while we were away with lots of walks and attention. She also cared for our home. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone seeking care for their pet/s!
Kelly has a calming nature that is well suited for caring for animals. She was attentive with our puppy and in tune with his needs. She provided regular updates and a photo of him. Would definitely recommend her!
Kelly is who you want to sit your pets and your house. She's so nice, so patient with all my communication, so responsive and responsible... It's obvious she loves animals, she immediately connected with my cat and my puppy, and they with her. And let me tell you, my puppy is not an easy dog to take care of right now. She's 16 weeks old and in full crazy teething, biting, nipping mode. It's definitely a challenge to be with this land shark. But Kelly handled her with grace. She also left our house spotless. I will definitely ask her to watch my babies again!
Kelly was amazing. We've had several sitters from Rover and been very happy with them, but Kelly is definitely our favorite! She communicated constantly before and during the booking, easing our minds during our trip. House was spotless when we got back and puppies were very happy.

A typical day
I love to walk and hike with dogs and can even take them biking, SUP'ing, and cross country skiing if they like those activities and you are comfortable with it. Playing fetch, practicing any training routines, and just hanging out is also wonderful.

Availability
I have a flexible hybrid work schedule which allows for dog walking, pet sitting, and house sitting as needed. I live in Montpelier and can walk to most places in town but also have a reliable 4WD car if needed. I am happy to offer overnight stays throughout the service area but due to travel distances do not offer drop-in care.
