Paws Over Texas ~ Vet Technician

Pet care experience

Hello Everyone! For those of you who do not know me, my name is Kelly and I am what people call "a true animal lover"!!! I am a Mom of 3 crazy, but loving, wonderful kiddos and a HUGE pet family, from dogs to cats, to an iguana and a turtle! I love my crazy, vibrant long hair and you never know what color (I have greys to cover these days! Haha!) that I have and I love my tattoos and always looking to add another piece to myself to help tell my story! They make me who I am, working on getting Kelly 100% again, and fun colored hair, tattoos, dogs, dogs, and dogs are what will be the medicine to bringing the Kelly everyone knows and loves back!!! So here I go.... As a child growing up I was not allowed to have a dog :( I did have a gerbil that had babies one time and I did bring home a turtle from the ditch by the golf course another time, and we had a few outside cats that just weren't people cats. Dogs and farm animals, horses in particular, have always been my passion and I have been one of the lucky ones to be able to pursue a career in the animal industry. I started working in the veterinary field when I was only 15 years old! I worked at Bay Area Animal Hospital for a veterinarian named Dr. Schulte (RIP sir) and held onto that job for a year, before I had to give that up because in high school I was very much involved in FFA and raised steers my junior and senior years so a job became to much with the added duties. UPDATE ~ 12/2020 ~ I am pursuing that passion for horses as I continue my school endeavours and am currently traveling to Nacogdoches several times a week to pursue a degree in equine science! My son just graduated this December and I have been a student on campus now since the fall of 2018!! THANK-YOU to those clients that have been so understanding and willing to adjust and work around schedules. When I say animals are my passion and definitely the gift giving to me, know that it comes wholeheartedly that I enjoy your fur-family and that they are safe here with my family who I could not do it without! Again we thank you!! Now...back to that statement I said above, "I was not allowed to have a dog when I was growing up", I know so sad right?!?! Well I can remember as a "tween" walking over to a neighbor's house one day and seeing my very first Siberian Husky with those crystal blue eyes! It was love at first site and I knew I wanted this sweet, happy boy to be a friend of mine so I offered my neighbors a whopping 50 cents to walk their dog around the block everyday they needed. I offered to pay them!! They laughed and allowed me to walk him when needed, let me keep my 50 cents and in return my friends, sister, and I were allowed to swim in their pool and most importantly more time to "doggie sit" with the husky that also swam! I have been very fortunate to continue my career in the animal industry throughout my life with 18 years of working in the veterinary field, to now being a full time pet sitter/business owner. Those little lessons in life ya know, how I use to try and pay a neighbor to walk their dog because I LOVED him so much, to now I have a "Pet Sitting Family" that uses and TRUSTS me to watch their pet families? I help them and they help me, with any and all pet like situations. I do boarding, daily visits, medical cases, geriatric pets, rescue, and yes puppies and kittens, I help and provide for them ALL in anyway I can, that is who I am and this is what I am passionate and love to do!!! They call me and my business the ~ Home of the traveling "Veterinary Technician"! I am who I am, and I LOVE what I DO!!! Dog spelled backwards is ~GOD~ :)

We've boarded with Kelly twice now and our dog, Stella, loves it! She comes back well taken care of and tired out from all the fun she has with the other dogs. The first time we booked with Kelly, she saved us from a cancelled trip! Our original dog sitter had a family emergency and cancelled on us the night before we left. Kelly happily accepted our last minute request without any issues. We will definitely continue boarding with Kelly.

Never have I ever felt so comfortable with someone watching my medically complex old lady dog. Kelly went above and beyond in every aspect, and she introduced Luna to her horses, which was fantastic! We received daily updates with pictures, and we were able to trust that Luna was with the best.

Kelly is absolutely amazing, I felt at ease from the moment we started communicating and especially after their stay with her. I loved all the photos of my boys and updates as I am a worried dog mom. Will absolutely recommend to anyone!
