Pet care experience
Walnut Hills-pet care you can trust
Hi! I’m a RN, mom of 4 humans, and 3 fur babies. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday home life, and brings me lots of joy! As a lifelong animal lover & caretaker, my #1 priority is everyone's overall well-being and safety. I have raised 2 dogs from the puppy phase, a teenage rescue dog, and 2 bunnies. I’m used to being attentive, patient, dependable, empathetic, and observant. I know how important it is to follow routines, notice changes in behavior, and make sure those in my care + their loved ones feel safe and comfortable. Whether your animal needs a walk, daily care, some playtime, companionship, a yard to run fee in, or simply a calm and caring person to spend time with... I'd love the opportunity to provide that care! I know your pet isn’t “just a pet”—they’re part of your family. I’ll treat them that way!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
1. First thing, I will meet you & your pet face to face for a quick orientation of your space, and routines. Plus, I want to take a few minutes to make sure your pet & I are comfortable with each other. *I bring a calm energy, but on my first visit (without you), I will wait shorten a walk if they are showing signs of stress that I cannot manage. I will still use the time to play & visit, and will let you know. Some dogs need a little time to warm up, and I prioritize safety and leaving the experience positive for everyone involved. *I will also not risk going to dog parks, or let them say hello to human & dog strangers on our walks. ((Mostly because I don't trust other people's judgement)) *If your dog(s) come to run free & play catch in my fenced in yard, we will all remain outside, there will be no kids, and I will not allow my dogs to come outside during that time. My promises: 1. I will care for your pet according to your specific instructions... No one knows them better than you! You don't need my opinion or plan unless you ask for it. If you want me to use your commands and behavior training, please tell me! 2. I will be professional, and treat your home and neighborhood with respect. Please communicate any special instructions. 3. No known surprises please! I ask that you please communicate any medical history, behaviors, quirks, fears, etc. I'm not scared of a challenge, but I do need full transparency. 4. BE HONEST! I am providing a service & want happy customers! Please feel free to tell me anything I am doing that you would like me to change. I will not take offense, and I will be thankful you felt comfortable to tell me, so I can continue to work with you consistently, and give your family the best care possible. 5. I must warn you: I will send you lots of pictures of your baby even if you don't ask for it. 6. If you are happy with my care, PLEASE leave a review and share about my services with your friends and family!
Ratings and reviews
Kerry has stepped in to help us with our dogs for many years! She is always kind and generous with her time and focus on the dogs. She asks good questions to make sure she takes the best care possible and looks for fun ways too keep them entertained. I highly recommend and trust Kerry!
Kerry is an amazing dog mom and cares so well for my 2 pups! My dogs are so excited to see her every time! Kerry has experience working with reactive, nervous, and excited pups and has helped my dog come out of his shell so much. So nice to know they’re in good hands getting great exercise while I’m working! I love knowing my dogs are having fun getting their needs met while I’m away.

Schedule
I work part-time as a nurse, and have my kids 50% of the time (+ they are older). So, I have a lot of availability, especially on my days off, around my work shifts, or while my kids are at schoool + some weekends too. I have lived in Walnut Hills for 13 years, and already love to walk all around the neighborhood & know it very well. I know there are many students & medical professionals in the area (like me)...so, I'd love to help support you when your busy! I know first hand what it's like to get stuck at work and worry about your pets at home. Forget that "pet parent guilt", If I can get there last minute, I totally will!

- Let me know anything you find important to tell me about your pet. The more the better! I can handle complex needs, but PLEASE notify me in advance of any medical needs, safety concerns, quirks, behaviors, or changes so that I can honestly assess if I am a good fit for your family and give them the best care possible.
