Pet care experience

Reliably loving your pets

For the past 20 years I've been the go-to dog walker and sitter for friends and family recently relocated back to the US after 8 years of living in Bali, Indonesia and working in animal rescue. I've fostered nearly 100 dogs and I have an extensive array of experience ranging from caring for puppies to seniors, those recovering from surgeries and illnesses, dogs who are highly energetic and those who painfully timid. I have an extra soft spot for shy, nervous dogs and have even been featured on The Dodo with one of my traumatized rescues who slowly learned to trust! I miss having a house full of doggos and am really enjoying connecting with the pups and pawrents in the community and becoming a trusted resource to help you provide the best life for your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

I've loved each and every one of my fosters over the years as if they were my own- they WERE my own- some for just a week and others for multiple years. And I intend to treat your dogs with that same amount of love, attention, and individualized care that they deserve!

Kelly did a great job checking in on my two cats, one of which is a senior with several medical conditions. She was timely and followed the directions I left with no issues. Would recommend her if you’re looking for a reliable sitter for your fur babies!

Kelly was so great with our older boxer and puppy! So so glad we found her. She was super friendly, communicative, and went above and beyond by driving our little guy to a daycare class. Thank you so much Kelly!! We highly recommend her to anyone :)

Kelly was amazing! We were so nervous about leaving our Shepard for the first time for a week, but she kept us updated with pictures and texts constantly. We love her and would use her everytime! Roofus loved her as well!

I know introducing a new sitter or walker into a family can be stressful! I encourage parents to share as much as possible with me about their pets. Such as any reactivity triggers, bathroom or walking quirks, favorite or disliked snacks, and habits! My goal is for your pet to have fun while maintaining familiarity with their routine.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
