Availability
My schedule is entirely flexible, with advance notice, as long as there’s an internet connection at your location over which I can complete my online schoolwork. (Though most of my time will be spent with your loves, of course!)

About Kaci C.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m pleased to be being considered for this important job! Please know that I'll be available via phone/text (& trust that you will, too, at least for emergencies), would love to share pics if you wish (or would be happy to limit communication, if that's your preference), am adept at managing minor issues of urgency independently (but will confer with you if at all possible, as soon as possible), and will take seriously any necessary special precautions for the animals or the home (escape artists, meds, anxiety/sleep needs, food limitations, no off-leash time or things like mail/trash, off-limits rooms, a toilet that's out of use, plant handling, etc.). I'm largely a homebody and my primary goals are to be someplace new/different & be with your babies, so I will be present daily, including overnight if that’s what we’ve arranged, and will not host parties or people (unless one or both of my grown kids are with me, which we'll have discussed in advance). I might spend significant time studying if I'm taking a class (most likely online) and I may need to handle some of the tasks of daily life (getting groceries, etc.) during longer stays, but my priority will be to keep the animals and home you've entrusted me with safe, properly cared for, and tidy in your absence. That said, if there are places your buddy(ies) wanna go (trails, beaches, dog parks, obedience classes, the groomer's, etc.), we'll get out of the house and get our energy out! (And if slow/short walks or lots of lap time are what's in order, we'll readily do that, too.)
Information Kaci C. would like to know about your pet
Ideally, for their comfort, your fuzzle’s routine when you’re away will be much as it would be if you were there, so it’d be beneficial to know when/where/what they’re fed, when/where they potty, any commands/words they know, rules you have for them, subtle signs they need something, & how they most like to play. Without these details, we’ll do just fine, but with them, we’ll all feel more relaxed - especially the pupper(s)!
A typical day
I’m willing to travel (Monterey to Eureka & inland as far as El Dorado Hills) for multi-night stays; drop-ins & single-walks can be accommodated within ~ 10 miles of 95741; multiple drop-ins or walks per day are possible within fewer miles of 95741 or with ongoing services or at a higher rate. Please inquire or offer. In warm or hot weather/locales, walks need to be early-morning and/or just before sunset & I’ll look for shaded, flat paths to enjoy. No matter the weather, I’ll carry, or have in my car, a (dishwasher safe) portable water bottle/bowl for your furry one. I have treat puzzles & toys, a ball shooter, soft frisbees, etc. for use with dogs (& cats) who’ll enjoy them!

Wanted: critters to love on!
Pet care experience
I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. Currently, each of my family members is in a transitional stage of life (kids are in college), myself included (contemplating the next chapter), so none of us has any companion animals for the time being. Fostering has filled the gap somewhat and I’ve found that pet & house sitting does, too! I was an at-home wife & mom & spent my adult years homeschooling, volunteering, caretaking through cancer, organizing, and caring for a large home/pool/property &, of course, for our companion animals. I'm not a "neat freak," but I will leave another's home as it was found, or cleaner. I'm compassionate & nurturing by nature, so please feel free to let me know your needs and wishes.
Reviews
I’ve known Kaci for 8 years. While I’ve never used a house sitter and I have no pets, she is one of the most trustworthy people I’ve ever known. I would trust her with my life. Thus, I’d be entirely comfortable leaving her with either, without hesitation. I also happen to know that her own home is beautiful and well taken care of, without paid help. Kaci is responsible, kind, & caring. Anyone in need of sitting would be lucky to have her!
