Professional Pet Sitter

Kelly has always shared her life (and often her bed) with her pets, making them true family members. While serving in the Air Force in Okinawa, Japan, she found a way to relocate with her five pets, despite the two-animal limit! After retiring, Kelly started a hobby farm in NC, raising poultry, goats, pigs, cows, horses, and even a llama. At her farm’s peak, she also had three dogs and five cats. Now in Ocala, FL, Kelly enjoys life with her husband, two cats, and a dog. When she’s not at the dog park with her 80lb pup, she loves boating, kayaking, camping, and live music. Her calm approach helps animals build trust, often surrounding her on the floor.
