Home is where the pet is

Pet care experience

Every animal has a distinct personality and it's fun and interesting to get to know them over time. I know everyone says this, but I've never met a dog or cat I didn't immediately love––even the slightly grouchy ones. Pets were an essential part of my childhood and I truly value how much joy they bring to our lives. My favorite memories growing up are of my pets and how they showed me unconditional love, I believe they make us better people. It's our job to give them as much love and care as they give us and our responsibility as their human to make sure they are happy, safe, and healthy. I’m honored to be able to do this kind of work and be trusted to take care of a most beloved member of your family. I treat other people's pets the way I would want mine to be treated, and I look forward to establishing good relationships with you and your animal. I respond quickly to all requests and questions, and I will definitely send regular updates throughout my care.

We are so thankful to have had Kelly be there for our kitties on Christmas! She took time to try to get our finicky eater to eat, and sent a good amount of photos. We would book with her again!

This was my first time using a cat-sitter and I was extremely nervous about leaving my cats at home! Kelly has been FANTASTIC. She's extremely quick to respond, very thorough, and is calm and patient with my scaredy-cat. Seeing pictures of my girls every day while I was away was so nice. THANK YOU Kelly!!!

Information Kelly W. would like to know about your pet

I know putting a human face to these words is really important, so if you’d like to schedule a meet and greet, please let me know! I’m open to all types of dogs and cats, even those with special needs. Information is power, so the more you can share with me, the better care I can provide. I believe in consistent, clear, and open communication, so my phone is on day or night. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any concerns or questions, and of course, I will send you regular updates so you don’t have to guess what we’re up to.

A typical day

I live in a large apartment with a gated yard in a great family-oriented neighborhood close to schools and parks. It’s a really great, dog-friendly area and lots of opportunities to meet new friends on our walks.
