Hey there – I’m Kelly Crompton, founder of Because of Dogs, a business devoted to building a community of people who love dogs and appreciate the many ways they teach and help us.

I’ve been a professional dog sitter and walker for quite a few years, but my dream is to open a combination dog-human bakery, or “barkery,” one day.

The pandemic hit my pet sitting business hard when almost all of my clients began working from home and didn’t need me, so I used that time to embark upon an online version of my dream community — one where dog lovers and their pets come together to swap stories and snacks.

Because dogs have played a big part in helping me through some challenging times, I decided to incorporate that into my business. The name “Because of Dogs” refers to all of the ways dogs teach and help us. Because of dogs, I get outside more. Because of dogs, I have more confidence talking to people. And so on!

I have several varieties of All Natural Crunchy treats available. Because they are All Natural, I make them crunchy to extend their shelf life.

Give your pups a pet from me!
