No breed will be turned away

Pet care experience

I’m 27 years old and I lost my dog of 10 years in May of 2020 so I know the unconditional love they give and how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet. I worked in an animal hospital before I moved here and I loved my job. I’ve always been better with animals than people since I know how hard it is to trust strangers. I can practice training for puppies and for dogs that aren’t good on the leash when it comes to the walking. No breed is too big for me and I don’t believe in stereotypes about “aggressive breeds.” I can administer important medications like insulin and syringes and don’t mind cleaning up messes. I hope you choose me!

Kelly is a responsible, nurturing, and well-informed animal caregiver. She was amazing with my pup, very professional, and I felt very assured that my dog was under great care. She was very open to communication, on and off the job, and I really was able to get to know her personally. She is reliable and genuinely passionate about animal care. Leaving your beloved pet can be concerning, but all of your worries will subside with Kelly's professional and caring mannerism. I refuse to leave my pup with anyone else. Thanks for being awesome, Kelly!

Kelly's experience as a kennel assistant makes her an ideal person to care for my dog. Caring for up to 25 dogs including maintaining their enclosures, feeding and grooming plus walks provides all the confidence I need to trust Kelly with my fur baby. Her experience with cats and other pets in the hospital section is a bonus should my girl ever need medical care. I would recommend Kelly to care for your pet or pets. She has a loving personality and integrity.

Information Kelly V. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog has any behavioral issues beforehand and any medical problems, medications, or allergies that I should be aware of.

A typical day

If you have an active dog that loves to be outside then I’d take them on the public trails right around state college with your permission. If you have an older dog then I’d probably let them nap in my bed or on the couch. I can cater to any dog young or old.
