Pet care experience

Avid dog lover - 20 yrs experience

I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years, including experience in both a boarding facility and a veterinary office. I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for pets of all ages, from playful youngsters to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Every pet is different, and I enjoy learning their individual routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or needs medication, I’ll care for them with the same patience and attention I’d want for my own. While dogs and cats make up most of my experience, I’m also comfortable caring for a wide variety of other animals. I’ve cared for small mammals, freshwater and saltwater fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and farm animals. If you have a pet that isn’t listed on Rover, feel free to ask—there’s a good chance I can help! Over the years I’ve been fortunate to have many wonderful clients trust me with their pets, and I look forward to earning that same trust with you. If you have any questions before booking, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to chat and make sure you feel confident your pets will be in caring, capable hands.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Anything you typically do with your pet, I’m more than happy to continue while you’re away. Does your pet need a little extra attention because of anxiety? I can handle that. Do they need lots of cuddles and affection? You’ve got it. My goal is to care for your pet the way you do, so they stay comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away.

We were so happy the find Kelly for our senior dog. We just moved to the area and were hesitant to find a new sitter as we’ve had the same one for 8 years! After meeting Kelly, I felt very comfortable and reassured that she would take care of our sweet old man. We came back to a happy and healthy dog!

Kelly was great, she was always quick to respond to my messages and she came exactly when she said she would. My dogs loved her and even my grouchy old cat wanted some of her attention.

Kelly worked with me and my family so patiently. I actually arranged for her to watch my parents dogs so that they could be with me for the winter holiday in Chicago. She was great in keeping up with me and my parents. It was such a relief for my parents to know that their home and fur family were safe out in the piney woods. Kelly even went the extra mile to keep the dogs inside when she caught word that someone was driving around picking up dogs. When you have a fence with holes in it, that's really important information. Hope to work with her again!

I welcome all breeds because I believe every pet is an individual. To provide the best possible care, I do ask that you let me know about any medications, medical conditions, special needs, or behavioral concerns ahead of time. Whether your pet has separation anxiety, fear of thunderstorms, reactivity, or another unique need, I’m happy to work with them. I simply ask that I know about it in advance so I can prepare and give them the care they deserve.
