ABOUT US

Tracy and Marlie Keck started Keck's Haven Pet Sitting & Dog Walking
to meet the growing need of local pet owners, so they could have worry-free days away from home, knowing their pets are being well cared for and in their own homes. We are a locally-owned and female-owned business!

Keck's Haven provides convenient and exceptional quality pet-sitting services by giving your companion one-on-one attention in the comfort and familiarity of their home.

We strive to help keep everyone's routine as normal as possible. Our sitters also send real-time photos and updates of their visits.

We are members of Pet Sitters International (PSI), and the bonded and insured experienced pet care professionals you can trust!

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS

"Beats boarding
in service and price"

"Couldn't Be Happier"

"Amazing!"

"We were so happy with Keck's Haven when they took care of our babies a few weeks ago! They left amazing notes about each visit and our four babies were happy and healthy when we returned! This service beats boarding in service and price. We will use them again."

"Couldn’t be happier with her service! She took great care of our dog, and it was such peace of mind knowing our dog was in great hands while we were away."

"I highly recommend Keck's Haven to anyone in search of a pet sitter. Tracy recently took care of my extremely finicky cat while I was out of the country for 2 1/2 weeks. She was amazing! She was extremely professional and has a big heart for animals. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that my cat was receiving the utmost care."

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

At Keck’s Haven, our hearts are filled with gratitude for their sacrifice—and we stand united in remembrance, alongside the loyal pets who bring comfort, love, and healing every day.

As flags wave and paws patter, we reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of the courage of so many. Today, we remember. Today, we give thanks.

Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful Memorial Day.

Here's more about one of the most fun parts of our job - Dog Walks!! 🐾🐾🐾

Q: How long are your dog walks?
A: We can accommodate various times on dog walks with 20 minutes up to a 90-minute adventure walk. We keep your dog safe by requiring a fixed length leash and by keeping them away from people and other dogs as we walk them. In extreme hot or cold weather, we may limit the walk for your dog's safety as well but can provide plenty of enrichment activities inside after we let them out to potty.

#keckshaven #dogwalkernearme

Here's more about how important our visits are for your pet's health...

Q: How often will you come to take care of my pet?
A: We require visits 3 times a day for dogs and at least once a day for cats and other small animals. It is important for us to monitor your pet’s eating, drinking, and bathroom behaviors on a regular basis to ensure their health and safety while you are away. 💜🐾

This is an important concern for those of you with special circumstances when it comes to your pet's care. 🥹 Not to worry... we've got you covered so you can leave them and have peace of mind! 💜

Q: What if my pet has special needs like medication or insulin shots?
A: Our sitters are trained to administer pet medication and insulin shots according to your vet’s prescribed directions. Our app includes detailed information provided by you on how to care for your pet, including feeding instructions and times, medication details, and even behavioral and personality information that will help us cater our care specifically for your pet.

Can we please talk about spring break?!! 🌞🏖️☀️🏝️. After this week, it's time to manifest warmer weather! 😆

Please don't hesitate to book now for Spring Break. We are booking up quickly! We have a referral program for clients and their friends. Check out your message on Time To Pet for details!!

Good afternoon and welcome to our next FAQ! ❓❓❓

Q: Can I tip my pet sitter? 🐶💜😺
A: As a personal service, pet sitting and dog walking are considered services where tips are acceptable. They are never expected but much appreciated. You can leave a tip marked for the pet sitters in your home or add it to your invoice, if you prefer. You can go back into your paid invoice one time once our services are completed to allocate a tip as well.💲💚

We hope you are home today, safe and warm ❄️ 🥶 as we continue with our series of FAQs this week!

Q: Do I get to talk to my pet sitter about their visits with my pet❓
A: Yes! We do all our communication through the Time to Pet app. This way the staff can send you reports and pictures after each visit and all sitters will be able to keep up to date on your pet’s care needs. The app enables you to communicate other needs you may have, such as canceling or changing your services and updating your pet profiles and vaccine records. 🐶😺

P.S. By chance and also ironically, the sweet cat featured in our post today is named Snowball! 😂

#keckshaven #dogwalkernearme #petsitternearme #dogsitternearme #catsitternearme

Here is the next post in our FAQ series! We hope you are enjoying getting to know more about Keck's Haven 🤗 💜🐾 Let us know in the comments if you would like to see more this week. 😊 👍🏻 🐶😺

Q: What qualifications do your pet sitters and dog walkers have?
A: We are licensed, insured and bonded and a background check and drug test is done on all employees. The staff is trained on the job by a senior trainer, and they are required to complete a pet CPR/ first aid program.

#keckshaven #dogwalkernearme #petsitternearme #dogsitternearme #catsitternearme

Happy Saturday! 😀 Here is the third post in our series of FAQs this week.

Q: How do I schedule a service?
A: You can quickly schedule a service through our app, Time to Pet, or on our website at www.keckshaven.com. You can also book through the link in our bio! You have the option to request one service at a time or we can create a template for recurring services like daily or weekly dog walks. 🐕

#keckshaven #dogwalkernearme #petsitternearme #dogsitternearme #catsitternearme

This is the second post in our FAQ series this week. 🐾💜

Q: How do you get into my house?
A: We prefer to use a key to enter your home. When more than one sitter is caring for your pet, we will secure the key in a lock box on your door or porch. We can enter with your garage or door keypad but do need a backup key in case of a mechanical or power failure with the keypad. It is important that we have a way to get to your pet no matter what happens. 🐶😺
