Highlights
Pet care experience
I love any animal and love furry friends
I’m South African - we live outdoors most of the time and I have had dogs in my home since I was a small child - we don’t usually have one pet either, but many, so I’m very used to all breeds of dogs in all shapes and sizes. I volunteer for Battersea Dogs home when I can and have been a member of Borrow my doggie since coming to the UK. I babysat a couple of teachers’ dogs through Covid whilst in lockdown whilst they worked all day and just love spending time with animals. My previous dog Bronson I adopted from Spain whilst on holiday there, and brought him back to the UK. He was with me for many years. I live in a ground floor flat with a small private garden (enclosed) and with going back to work after Covid I can’t have my own pet anymore as I don’t want to leave them alone all day, but am happy to help other dog families have a safe, and loving home to leave their pet whilst away or I can house sit and look after their pets depending on circumstances of each individual person looking for my services. I can do all holidays, Weekends or just an overnight stay - very flexible. Just need enough time to be able to accommodate what is needed to manage everyone ‘ expectations.

Ratings and reviews
Harvey had a wonderful time with Kelly, as always. She sends great pictures and updates, and Harvey came home happy and calm. He’s always so excited at drop-off when he sees her house and realises where he is going! Always a great sign. Thanks again Kelly :)
Kelly was so lovely and both my dogs loved her and were so settled with her which gave me such peace of mind. She sent lovely photos and updates.
Kelly was wonderful again with my Harvey. I feel 100% at ease when he is with her - he comes home happy, calm and relaxed. Kelly’s communication is always great and I trust her 100% with my boy. Thanks again Kelly!
Kelly is amazing Very flexible
Leaving our French bulldog, Dave, for the first time made us really nervous, but Kelly completely put us at ease. She sent lots of photo updates and kept us informed about everything, which reassured us that our boy was having the best holiday. Communication was excellent throughout. She was also very flexible, and we’ve already booked with her again for our next trip away. Thank you Kelly for spoiling and taking such great care of Dave 🐾
Kelly was fantastic looking after our dearest Bobby while we were away. Really good communication, and very flexible with her time to meet Bobby/the house. 5*

Schedule
I do work in London 2 days a week and the other 3 days I work from home - I am off most weekends. Overnight I can either come to your home or on holidays or weekends happy to commute to make dog feel more at home. I am flexible to dates/ times etc as long as I’m given enough notice so I can accommodate your needs and that of your pet. I live on my own with a ground floor flat with my own private garden which is enclosed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Happy to work with each individual case as and when required. I’m happy to house sit and look after animals in their own environment which is generally better for all concerned, familiar smells and environment so less stressful for the pet (and the pet owner) I can also have them here at my home depending on the person looking for a sitter - fairly flexible as long as I know in advance what is needed for the animal will work to make your pet feel secure and loved at all times. I have Verulium Park, Ellenbrook Fields and Hertford Forest on my doorstep for me to take regular walks and enjoy outside activities with your pet, I will always have your pets best interest at heart.
A typical day
I will take care of your dog, make sure they are safe, warm and happy and get enough stimulation whilst with me to meet their particular needs
