Pet care experience

MY HOME I live in a 2-bedroom home with a big fully-fenced yard in the Inner Richmond/Presidio area with my partner & two pets, Lira, a goofy 4yo Shepherd/Husky and Optimus, a sweet 10yo kitty. Dogs bring me such joy--I can't imagine living without them! I’m home full-time so your dog will always have company and supervision. —————————————————- ABOUT ME I am conscientious, responsible, & highly responsive. I have been caring for 3-7 dogs in my home for 4+ years. My pup clients have ranged from 10 weeks to 17 years, & from 10lbs to 120lbs. All of my boarding/daycare clients are regulars & I had actually stopped taking new clients for over a year due to my daycare/boarding cap. I am taking new clients as the circumstances of some of my old clients have changed (i.e. working from home, moving out of the Bay, etc). ————————————————- BOARDING & DAYCARE My home is in a very dog-friendly neighborhood banked by Presidio Park and adjacent to Baker Beach, Land's End, and Golden Gate Park. The back door has direct access to the backyard, and we do supervised yard visits. The doggies and I like going to Presidio Trails, Baker Beach, or Land's End. We also go to the dog park area in Presidio Park so the dogs can walk/play off leash but can certainly accept dogs who need to stay on leash. I live in a quiet family neighborhood, so in consideration of our neighbors, I don't accept dogs who alert-bark or bark-to-play excessively. ————————————————- GENERAL QUESTIONS When you send a booking request, please update your information (vaccination, age, etc). Also, please send a message (or we can chat on the phone) with answers to the questions below. 1) Does your pup bark or whine when their human is out of sight (changing in the bedroom, going to the bathroom, etc.)? 2) Is your pup potty trained, and do you have any other behaviors you’d like reinforced? 3) Does your pup have any destructive behaviors (i.e. chewing furniture/shoes/socks, scratching at things, etc.)? 4) Does your pup pull when he/she's on leash? Due to recent knee issues, I’m not able to host pups who are 30+lbs and pull while walking. 5) Can your pup be walked off-leash at dog friendly parks, etc. and come back when called? I am very cautious and allow new pups to go off leash gradually (& only with owner permission). For new dogs, I always do an on-leash walk first to get them accustomed to me as well the pack. They must have good recall with me (1) inside the house, (2) in my yard, (3) in a fully enclosed secondary outdoor space, and (4) in a semi-enclosed outdoor space before I will let them play off leash in a fully open space. We work on recall in streps & try to make it a fun game (i.e. having pups "catch" me after I call them). I can certainly take dogs who need to stay on-leash—just good to know beforehand. 6) Does your pup guard resources, like food or toys? 7) Does your pup have favorite activities (i.e. tug, fetch, walking, running, etc.)? How would you describe his/her energy level? We go out each morning & late afternoon (1HR minimum each time) to walk, play with other dogs, and sometimes run 2-5 miles (with owner permission). My own dog is usually low-key at home, napping in the kitchen/living room/yard and let’s out her energy when we go out. I aim to provide all guest pups with a safe, comfortable, loving, and fun environment. Hope to see you and your pup soon!

Kelly has been so patient and kind to our 9mo old puppy with some separation anxiety. She sends these thoughtful “pupdates” detailing their adventures and she takes the dogs on epic walks to the beach and through the presidio. We feel so grateful that we found Kelly and will continue to use her regularly!

Kelly was so wonderful while watching my puppy french bulldog! I was extremely nervous to leave her with a new person for the very first time, but Kelly sent me a ton of pictures and updates throughout the day to put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Kelly and will definitely use her moving forward.

Kelly is amazing, calm and very clearly loves dogs. Knox had the best day with her and the pack. Kelly provided multiple updates and photos throught the day. Will absolutely book again.

Kelly was absolutely fantastic! She is super knowledgeable in handling dogs and training. She took Marlo in for soft day care and my active Australian Shepherd puppy had the absolute best time. I loved receiving updates throughout the day of all the excursions and hikes they went on together and the detailed reports. Kelly made me feel super comfortable in trusting that she would provide my dog with the best care. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her services again!
