About Us A Word from Our Founder: I started this company for several reasons but my main motivation was I LOVE ANIMALS! I have lived and worked with them all my life. As a teen, one of my first jobs was working at a veterinarian's office. I handled their “waste management,” bathing, administering medications, exercise and general care of the clients. I loved that job, even though it could be very tough at times, I worked in the Mortgage Banking business for 18 years and kept my love for animals by creating a menagerie of pets in my home and taking on house and pet sitting jobs for friends and family. Word of mouth has kept me busy on a part time basis for over 10 years. I decided to turn a part-time “favor” for my friends into my own business. ~ Kelly Alves, Founder A Perfect Pet How We Got Our Name The name “A Perfect Pet” came from the idea of… What would be "a perfect pet"??? One you wouldn't have to clean up after… One you wouldn't have to stress about when you wanted to take a vacation…One you would never have to bathe… One you wouldn't have to worry about feeding when you have to work late or have an unexpected business trip… One you wouldn't have to walk when you're just too tired after a long day's work… We will step in where you want to leave off and try to keep your pet's daily routine so it's less stressful for them and you. Our goal is to provide a service to a county of pet lovers that may not always have the time for "ALL of their pet's needs ALL of the time."

“As Kelly Alves' veterinarian, I find her to be a concerned and compassionate pet owner. She takes excellent care of her animals. I have recommended her to my clients for pet sitting and transportation. The response has been very positive. I've been told she is responsible, friendly and helpful. I feel comfortable referring Kelly to pet sit my patients." Sincerely, ____________________________________________ “I just wanted to say how much Cooper and I appreciate you! You have been just terrific; prompt, friendly, professional, and obviously a real animal lover. Cooper seems more eager to “load up” into YOUR car than our own! He is always excited and happy to see you, and looks forward to his doggie adventures with you and his new friends. It's been a real help and comfort knowing that my best pal is in the best of hands.” Sincerely, Mark Wolfe ____________________________________________ "Our 3 Leonbergers are so huge and furry, I can't believe how dirty they get some times, and what a handful they are! What a relief to have Kelly on hand to give them a bath when it's needed, and take care of them while we're away. We left our house and dog-kids in Kelly's hands for 3 days and never worried once. This is a major breakthrough for us since we hardly ever leave the house or our dogs for more than a couple of hours at a time. Kelly even handled Starr's medications like a pro. I asked for "The Perfect Pet-Sitter" and I got "A Perfect Pet" How's that for perfection!" Julia Stege and Steve Farnell “Kelly and A Perfect Pet are absolutely, hands down, the best pet care service we've ever used. We have a multiple cat household and a high maintenance one at that (lots of medication.) No matter what the requirements, Kelly handles every visit as though they were her own pets. Kelly is extremely trustworthy, caring, and knowledgeable about pets. She follows through on each visit to ensure we're home and that all is well. Her charges are also very fair (and we've shopped around,) contrary to some services who charge for every item or task completed. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kelly to any pet owner!” Susan Cook ____________________________________________ “I just wanted to let you know what a great job you did watching our animals. It was wonderful that you had experience with horses as well as dogs and cats. It is not easy to find someone to take care of our 12 horses, 10 cows, 2 burros, and 3 dogs! I will definitely be calling you again and I highly recommend you to every pet owner (big or small) that I know. "Thanks again for all of your hard work.” Sincerely, ____________________________________________ "We adopted our little Abby about one year ago and, of course, she's already a full fledge member of our family. When I wa in need of “doggy daycare” for a planned vacation, the big fret began; where could I find the best care for our little girl? Just like child-care challenges, the search for a good kennel is difficult. When I found A Perfect Pet, I knew I had found THE BEST. Kelly and family care-take pets at their home and love them just like their own! Abby sleeps with the family which includes children, cats and dogs, just like she does at home. Wow! And she gets play time in their very large yard, not just cooped up in a dog run. When Kelly comes to pick her up, Abby barely looks back as she is so excited to visit Kelly's home (much to my chagrin!) Abby has also gone on doggy play dates which involve hikes at Armstrong Woods for several hours. She comes home happy and tired. What a great concept Kelly developed in providing this type of pet care. I have no reservations recommending A Perfect Pet! This is a family who loves animals and has established a simply wonderful pet care concept." Sincerely, Diana L. Garaventa ____________________________________________ “Hi Kelly, Bluey is Great! He smells good too : _ Thank you so much! I'll definitely be using your services again and refer you when ever I can!" ____________________________________________
