These 2 doggos have been staying with us for 7 years now. We've been through a lot together. They've even gone on vacation with us when their mom was out of the country.
When we say your babies become our family. We mean it.

She has lost 7lbs in 3 months!!!
Our dog's body weight matters. My husband was over feeding "his dog" by double the amount for years. He finally let me take over feeding her 3 months ago. We read the bag & used the suggested amount twice a day. She is starting to feel so much better too.
10/29/2025 = 49lbs
12/13/2015 = 44lbs
1/26/2026 = 42lbs

2 things regarding the next few days.
1. The concern in NWLA is THE WEIGHT OF ICE ACCUMULATION on trees & power lines, this will cause power outages & possible public water systems to fail (city water pump to stop).
2. The use of natural gas to heat your home (propane heaters & cook stoves) over 50 Million homes in America are heated with propane.
The Little Buddy Heaters have a CO² sensor & are DESIGNED TO USE INDOORS.
Using a cook stove to heat is fine too As Long As There Is a small cracked window or some type of fresh air coming in.
WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR DECADES.
3. Carbon Monoxide Censors/Alarms are to be placed lower than smoke alarms, 5ft from the or lower.
4. Fun Fact for the folks lacking truthful knowledge: even a wood burning fireplace can cause carbon monoxide poisoning as it burns up the oxygen in the air. Homes are built to breath to prevent this.
●The more truthful facts we have the more abilities we have to SURVIVE!

Client Testimony from a previous years stay with us. Thank you Mrs Cheryl.
"These 2 angels needed somewhere to stay from 12/26 until 1/2 so that we could go on our Disney trip. They stayed with our friend, Kelly Lovell of Aunt Kelly's Pet Sitting. This is not traditional boarding. My Lab, Gryffindor, is a hospice dog with lots of medication. My rescue Beagle/Jack Russell, Matilda, is terrified of fireworks and thunderstorms. They made friends, and enjoyed the peace on the farm. And, the most important thing, I HAD PEACE. I had anxiety all the way up to leaving them Christmas night, but I left with peace in my heart, because Kelly assured me of her skill and determination to do everything I did, including love my babies. We got regular updates and pics (2 of the attached), and we got a text if she had questions. On top of the wonderful care my babies got, she was very affordable! I highly recommend Aunt Kelly's if you want an alternative to boarding."

Some of our clients use us more often during the POTTY TRAINING SEASON & PUPPY STAGES. We absolutely love these times. We sure do miss them when they grow up & can stay home longer while their parents work.

We dont have favorites but we do have fantastics!
If I ever chose to have a sporting breed dog of my own, it would definitely be a GSP.
Joey & Roux do not have the same family but they are both part of Aunt Kelly's.

These dogs take over our space 😆 and have the audacity to back talk 😉 We love this kid!
