Hello!
My name is Kelly. I'm a huge animal lover. I have been volunteering and working within the veterinary profession caring for cats, dogs and small furies for the past 9 years. For the last 4 years, I have been dog walking and dog and cat sitting for a company in London. I have experience medicating animals (eg. diabetic injections, eye and ear drops, oral medications) and I am comfortable working with small and large breed dogs. I have a wonderful german shepherd dog (Arya) who now lives with my parents back home. I took her to training classes, so I have some experience and loads of patience with dog training. Although I have never been a cat owner, I have looked after several and upon owner's requests have taken a few cats on lead walks through the park.
I am available for: dog walking, home visits and house sitting. Whether it is a quick walk or an overnight stay, I always like to keep owners updated with a photo or video of their pet(s). I'm based in Bath and have my own vehicle. If you think I'd be a good fit for you and your pet(s) please get in contact.

We tried Kelly for the first time this weekend for dog walking and house sitting. All went great and our dog really clicked with her! Great reliable service and looking forward to work with Kelly more for future walks and stays! Thanks!
Kelly stayed for two nights and did an incredible job looking after our dog Zeus. It was the first time we have left him overnight so I was really nervous but Kelly really did go out of her way to put us at ease and he clearly had a good time without us!
We will definitely ask her to look after Zeus again and I would highly recommend her :)
