Pup-experienced Portland Explorer

Pet care experience

As a dog owner, I recognize how important it is to find reasonable and reliable pet care! I have had dogs my whole life, large, small, old, and young. I was the kid that was walking all of the neighborhood dogs after school because I just couldn't get enough of them. I have years of experience working in holistic pet stores, so I have a lot of dog and cat knowledge outside of my personal experience with them. I am new to Portland and I spend a lot of my time exploring the city with my dog, Zeke. I work from home during the week, so I am home for the dogs all day. We make sure to get active outside everyday, whether it be a nice long walk, some fetch in the park, or maybe even a swim! If your dog is more of a lounge around type, don't worry, I still have a backlog of Netflix shows to get through! Zeke and I live in a pet friendly one bedroom apartment in Parkside right next to Deering Oaks Park. There is plenty of room for your pet to lounge around the house, lots of windows to look out, and two built in besties to hang out with all day. Our home is your pet's home, and we want them to have a comfortable and fun stay! We can accommodate cats, any small and medium dogs, and submissive/passive large dogs.

Kelly has always been very passionate and a caring person who loves all animals, especially dogs. I have known Kelly for twenty years and infact we were once neighbors. While living next to Kelly I adopted my first dog, a beautiful Golden Retriever. Kelly immediately offered to help walk, feed and care for my puppy. I was astonished by her love for animals and her abilitiy and responsibilities she so lovingly took on with helping me raise my puppy. You would be extremely amazed with Kelly's unconditional love she so insticly has for all anaimals. I don't think you will ever find anyone better to care for a pet like Kelly.

My dog is basically my child so I have high standards when it comes to sitters and walkers. Kelly exceeds theses standards for sure. She has experience caring for four legged children large and small and truly loves animals. Kelly's commitment to providing the highest level of care and love to her own pup is just one of the reasons I don't think twice before asking her to watch Oliver.

Information Kelly V. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but my dog gets along best with dogs that are smaller than him or submissive/passive! I would like to know all of your dog's likes, dislikes and habits so that I can make their stay as close to home as I can!

A typical day

I typically take long walks through the different neighborhoods on the peninsula. Sometimes, we visit East End Beach for a swim or walk around Back Cove. I live very close to Deering Oaks Park, so there is a lot of grass to play fetch too!
