About Kelly

I have been a part time Companion Caregiver for the last ten years while operating my small business, the Cat Lady of Frederick, LLC ("The Cat Lady"). Many of my dog walking and animal care clients were retired adults who were no longer comfortable with brisk dog walks, bending over for trimming cats' nails, or administering medication to their animals. I would provide these services, and often stay to have a cup of coffee and a long chat. While my clients enjoyed our conversations, I benefited more with new hobbies to explore, gardening tips, and sage advice on everything from relationships to day trip destinations. For the past year I have been transitioning out of my role as owner/operator of the Cat Lady. My career and life focus has always been on enrichment, whether it was for children in the child welfare system, women without homes, volunteers, companion animals, or the clients who hire me. It would be my pleasure to continue this tradition of enrichment with your loved one.
