Kelly Detherow, CPPS, FFCP

In 2015, I accepted a job transfer to relocate to Olathe. Being a single pet parent, new to the area and not knowing anyone, I struggled to find the quality care for my own fur family. I had to make a decision and walked away from my successful corporate career to make a difference in pet care. My childhood dreams were filled with aspirations of growing up and having a professional career working with animals – Just Fur-Babies Professional Pet Care has fulfilled that childhood dream.

My relationships continue to grow as I collaborate both locally as well as nationally with business owners, subject matter industry experts and others to keep Just Fur-Babies one of the premier pet care providers in Kansas City. These relationships include partnering with small cat rescues since 2020. I was very excited when Meowy Matchmakers Cat Rescue asked to have a formal business partnership in 2023. Sharing their passion and commitment to the welfare of cats and kittens in Kansas City has been parallel. I have dedicated my career to providing the highest expected care and knowledge as a professional in our industry to pet parents across the Kansas City area!

In addition to my continuing education, knowledge and experience in the animal welfare industry, I hold a variety of animal certifications including Pet First Aid/Safety/CPR Instructor, Certified Professional Pet Sitter and Fear Free Certified Professional. 

My calling and passion has always been animals, animal behavior, and the human animal bond. Now, I have the capability to lead by example to encourage actions that improve the relationship between a person and their pet, ultimately improving the quality of life for that pet. 

My home life is shared with 3 dogs and 3 cats, the youngest is a Meowy Matchmakers alumi!
