Hello I’m Kelly, master’s student in Interaction Design, originally from South Africa 🇿🇦, and I’ve been living in the Netherlands for three years. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs. Growing up, I volunteered at animal shelters, giving animals the care, love, and attention they deserved.

Since I was 16, I’ve run my own side business called Kelly Creates, where I draw graphite portraits of people’s pets, including those who are still here and who have passed away 🪽😇. It’s a way for me to celebrate the special bond we share with our furry friends.

I absolutely love spending time with dogs and cats, discovering their unique personalities, and seeing their cute characters shine through. I miss my own dog from South Africa and would be thrilled to care for your pets, whether it’s dog walking or drop-in visits while you’re busy or away.

I have years of experience caring for pets, and I’m confident, reliable, and gentle with every animal I meet. I also love staying active, walking, cycling, jogging, or swimming and enjoy spending time in nature, which makes me the perfect companion for energetic pups.

I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
