About Me:

Welcome!! My name is Kelly, owner and operator of Panhandle Pet Care & Waste Removal. I am a true local who was born and raised in Fort Walton Beach, FL., where I still reside with my family & my two fur babies, Rahlo & Marley. My love for animals started very young as I always had multiple pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, and birds that I cared for on a regular basis. I spent my summers in Ocala, FL ., on the farm with horses, pigs, chickens, cows, goats and my aunt even ran a rescue for dogs on the farm as well! Needless to say I learned a lot, but most of all compassion for animals. We are their voice and they have personalities, good and bad days just like you and I. 

Although my professional background started in banking where I remained until 2015 when I accepted a position in a local law firm as I had been currently earning my degree in Paralegal Studies. I have also always been the go to pet sitter for my friends, family and many coworkers. 

I started this venture focusing on Pet Waste Removal (Panhandle Pooper Scooper). I would do this after my 8-5, until it got dark. When I left the law firm in 2021 I focused all of my energy into my own business. I realized one day

before my family was leaving for vacation, that I always needed someone to come to my home to take care of my fur babies while we were gone. Mostly because Marley has high

separation anxiety and Rahlo is not animal friendly. I had also always compensated my friends who did this for me. To my surprise there were a lot of people like me, who needed an animal loving and completely trustworthy person that their entire family loved and trusted with the family's loved animals!
