“Kari did a long stay over the holidays with our senior Labrador. From beginning to end, she was fabulous, professional, and caring. She asked questions before the stay, kept in touch with us while we were gone, and left the house spotless for us. Our dog adored her - I am not quite sure he even missed us. I could not recommend her more highly and I definitely will look forward to working with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs, every kind, since i was 12. I’ve always had dogs in my home and they’re family and yours would be too! I’m currently working at home with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet. I’m always home on the weekends for play time at the park or just lounging around on the couches and playing with toys and having treats! I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my own that love to play with other dogs. I can provide whatever they may need as far as if you have em crate trained or inside/outside trained. They will always have plenty of water and love!💕
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day. Because of that, I understand the different needs pets can have—whether it’s the playful energy of a puppy, the patience required with older pets, or the little quirks that make each animal unique. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the genuine love and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while in my hands. As a college student and athlete, I have a structured schedule that keeps me organized and disciplined. Because of this, I’m able to carve out consistent time during the day for pet walking. My mornings, afternoons, and breaks between classes and practices give me the flexibility to reliably fit walks in. Being active already fits perfectly with pet walking, and I see it as a great way to balance my routine while doing something I love. I’ve had a lot of experience caring for different types of pets. Back home in Texas, we have several outdoor dogs since we live in the country, which has given me a strong understanding of how dogs need to be cared for in different environments. I’ve owned dogs ranging from a Labrador Retriever to a Chihuahua, and that variety has taught me how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. From differences in food and water requirements to rest and activity levels indoors versus outdoors, I’ve learned how to make sure every dog feels healthy, comfortable, and cared for.
About: Hi, my name is Nadia! I’m currently trying to save money for college! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, raising litters of puppies, caring for my own pets, and dog sitting for friends and family. I even took a veterinary science course and was on track to graduate as a vet tech, so I know how to give pets the love they deserve while keeping them safe and healthy. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or walks, I treat every dog like my own. Im available anytime! I can come do some walkes or pet sit for you! Just let me know. I love spending time with animals. 😊 I have a lot of experience with animals and absolutely love them. I can care for your pets at my house or at your house.
