Highlights
Pet care experience
You’ll know they’re safe and happy.
I grew up in the country with dogs, cats, horses, and sheep, so caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve boarded dogs as young as four months, dogs with medical needs and strict dietary routines, and dogs that were anxious being away from home for the first time. When you drop your dog off with me, I want you to actually focus on wherever you’re going. I send photos and videos, not constantly, but enough that you’ll already know how they’re doing before the worry even shows up. My daughters and I do this together. I use it as a chance to teach them how to actually pay attention to a dog. Reading their body language, knowing when they want space, following their routines and schedules.

Ratings and reviews
Sumo and Gromit had a blast with Kelly and her girls! I received lots of pictures, videos and text messages. Kelly even washed Sumo because he was so dirty from rolling around in her backyard! We'll definitely use Kelly again!
Kelly is friendly and a great communicator. Odin seemed well taken care of.
We used Kelly while visiting the area from out of state, and she was fantastic with our miniature schnauzer. She was able to accommodate us on very short notice, which we really appreciated. Our dog can be a little anxious around other dogs, and even though Kelly was boarding other dogs at the time, she made sure our pup felt safe, comfortable, and never overwhelmed. She also sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely book with Kelly again and highly recommend her!
Waffle loves you guys!thank you for taking good care of waffle!

Schedule
My day starts at 5am. The dogs wake up with me and we sit on the couch together while I get into work. Breakfast for the dogs, then breakfast for my kids, then school drop-off at 7. I’m back by 7:30 and work from my detached office with dog beds and a door that opens to the backyard so they can come and go. Mid-morning we take a walk. Afternoons the girls get home at 3:30 and we take the dogs out again. Dinner for everyone, a show or movie with the pups, then bedtime.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our yard is large and fully fenced. Inside, we have gates on bedroom doors and between the living room and kitchen, and a utility room that lets me rotate dogs in and out to the backyard without them ever having to pass each other. Dogs are never left together unsupervised, and never left alone with my kids. Depending on the dog, they’ll sleep on one of my daughters’ beds or next to mine.
Pets
A typical day
Your dog comes along for the fun parts of the day. Forest walks a few minutes from our house, slow sniff walks through the neighborhood, splash pad time in the backyard with my kids, or just couch time if that’s more their speed. They’re not waiting for us to get back. They’re just part of the day.
