Information Kelly W. would like to know about your pet

Please be transparent about your pets special needs or behaviors. I give unconditional care for all stages of life. I want to create a safe environment for all so we don't board agressive dogs. Dogs respond differently when they are in a new environment with strangers, please know your pets preferences before boarding them. We can't take dogs that have been sick within the past 24 hours. All dogs must have updated rabies vaccination records and a routine flea/tick preventative. Although it's not required, all dogs should have a local veterinarian in case of emergencies. Please provide everything that your dog will need including extra food. Visits can be extended due to bad weather and travel delays. Please wait to try new foods or treats until the pups have returned home. Please include written instructions for meals. Last minute bookings might not have the option for a meet and greet. Please book trip dates in advance in order to ensure that we have availability. We prefer not to take new clients on major holidays so please schedule a trial overnight prior to a trip on a holiday. On holidays, I try to accommodate all clients. If you're booking on a holiday, please expect that I will have more pups than usual.

A typical day

I believe physical and mental stimulation is important for pets. We have a variety of toys in the house and outside in the yard thanks to a monthly subscription to Bark box. If you bring toys, we can't guarantee that they will come home. We always appreciate toy donations. Our turfgrass playground offers an opportunity for safe, clean fun. We aspire to create a relaxing environment for us and the dogs. Excluding holidays, we are comfortable with a maximum of 4 pups. They are well exercised and there's space for them to spread their paws.

Trusted Pet Care

Pet care experience

Boarding and Daycare: Drop offs and pick ups are scheduled between 8a and 5p. We provide an "at home" atmosphere for all sizes. Pups are allowed on the furniture and roam freely inside the house. We don't crate them, unless you request that. Our wooded acre lot includes a four-foot fence and a turfgrass playground. We have two shady decks that make great lounging areas. We spend a lot of time outside on nice days. Visiting dogs should be well socialized and like other dogs. I have two dogs. Sometimes I do leave the house. Reasons: walk a pup, errands, drop off/ pick up a pup at their house. I would be gone for an hour or so. I don't work outside of the house otherwise. My husband helps me with pet care frequently. I offer multiple services to my clients to benefit all situations. Unfortunately, I can't accommodate dogs with severe separation anxiety or aggression towards people or other dogs.

Biscotti had a fun few days with Kelly and her husband despite the rain. Very caring and a nice secure yard to romp around in the shade!

Kelly is always so amazing and takes such great care of our doggos. We can’t wait to see their report card, and our dogs clearly love her! 10/10, she’s the best.

Kelly was flexible with our schedule and showed up on time for the walk and kept our dog company for the full hour. Left a very detailed note about what they did and lots of pictures!

Kelly watched our two pups and short notice and did a great job. Will definitely use her again!
