I’m a recently retired government employee who is looking to find doggie love since our dog passed away. I have lots of time to give, so it is not an issue to give your dog the time he or she may need.

Information Kelly T. would like to know about your pet

If your dog experiences separation anxiety, that is fine. I just need to know. I have experience managing it, and understand the stress it can cause doggie parents.

A typical day

I love to go on walks with dogs and take them to the dog park if the owner is ok with that. I live near some regional parks that have great trails. I also like to take dogs to restaurants, sit outside, and people watch while occasionally doling out treats.

Pet care experience

I grew up with Spaniels and German Shepherds, so I understand medium and large dogs’ needs well. They require exercise and mental stimulation for their well-being. I also have experience caring for senior dogs with heart ailments, blindness, and arthritis. I know their needs are different. I have also cared for a dog through TPLO surgery and did all of his physical therapy.

She did great with our high energy dog and gave us total peace of mind while we were on our trip.

Excellent all around. Communication and care for my dog Tala could not have been more perfect. I really appreciate everything Kelly did to treat my pup like her own. Will be using her again for sure!
