Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hartington

“So thankful for Mary and her availability this weekend! We traveled in and needed somewhere for our fur baby to stay, and she was so willing on a last minute notice. The updates sent throughout the day reassured me he was in good hands! Her communication is clear and I know I’ll suggest in the future for any of our traveling friends in the future. Thank you again Mary ❤️ wishing many blessings for you!”

“Kayla is amazing. I can not recommend enough!!! We got updates and pictures of our dog Loki through out his stay with Kayla. He has special care needs as he has epilepsy. Kayla is highly qualified to administer medication and provide needed care in case of a seizure. We are so grateful to have found Kayla. Loki is excited to go back and visit again in the future.”

“We cannot thank Kelley enough for taking the best of care of our kiddos. Any concern we had of sending our 2 senior dogs to another persons house were immediately resolved when we met Kelley at her home. She gave frequent updates along with pictures so it never felt we were too far from them. Kelley was incredibly flexible when our plans changed and we were much appreciative of that. We were so impressed with Kelley we travelled 45 minutes for her attentive care. We would hands down book again with Kelley in a heartbeat.”

“She was very sweet, sent me pictures of my baby, always keeping me updated. Took her on walks to nice places and made sure she was comfortable, made the process very easy and will work with your schedule of things. Great pet sitter <3”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life and have cared for just about every kind of pet you can imagine — dogs, cats, bunnies, chinchillas, birds, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my home and my heart. I’m comfortable with all personalities, all sizes, and all needs. Your pet will be treated like family, because that’s the only way I know how to care for them. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times. I prioritize the pets I’m caring for, so I’m able to adjust my day around their needs — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate last-minute or recurring bookings. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely — feeding schedules, medication needs, crate routines, potty breaks, and preferred playtime activities. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-supervised, and I always take extra time for love, attention, and enrichment. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have a long history of caring for pets! I have professional experience in a grooming and boarding kennel, as well as other agricultural animal caretaker positions. I am experienced with senior dogs, medications, and administering subcutaneous fluids. I am a stay at home, home schooling mother of 2 and a birth worker. I am home every day and available to walk dogs. We have a fenced in yard. My oldest child loves going for walks. During nice weather, we frequently like to go to the nearby state park and walk the trails around the lake. I have a fenced in yard and can walk multiple times a day. I have one cat and 2 young children (b. 2020 and 2023). I do have dog crates that can be used to crate while I am away, if necessary.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for years, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have experience with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or nervous dogs feel comfortable and safe. I treat every dog like family, giving them lots of attention, belly rubs, and playtime! What sets me apart is my patience, calm approach, and ability to read each dog’s needs. Whether your pup needs extra exercise, gentle cuddles, or special care, I make sure they feel right at home. I also understand the importance of routine and will follow your care instructions closely. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priority! I’m a stay-at-home mom with plenty of free time and a love for animals! Aside from the occasional grocery trip, I’m home all day and would be honored to care for your pup as part of our family. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or sticking to a special routine, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family! I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where pups can relax and feel comfortable. I always supervise playtime and make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I follow any special instructions you provide and send regular updates with photos so you can feel confident and at ease. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!

“Kelley was such a kind person that put me at ease when taking care of Nala. We got updates throughout the day and came home to a tired, well taken care of puppy. I definitely would recommend Kelley to anyone looking for a quality, caring dog sitter.”
