Kaija's Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have had dogs around me my whole life. I got my first puppy when I was 7, and I have had a few more dogs since then. I have always loved dogs (my first word was 'Ruff', according to my mother), and I love to be around them and take care of them. I have a lot of time on my hands and I would love to take care of your pets while you are at work or away. My dogs, Petra and Hilda, are my biggest hobby and favorite companions. We spend hours walking, training, and cuddling every week. I work from home full time (mostly to spend time with my dogs at home). Having grown up with dogs, I have experienced every phase of their lives, from puppi yhood to senior care. I have experience administering medications, navigating post-surgery care, training puppies, etc. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your pet!

Wonderful puppy hosts! I will absolutely use them for my next trip

In the ten years Kaija and I have known each other I have noticed just how much she cares for her pets. She grew up with dogs her entire life, and honestly I can tell you that she loves them more than people! If you are worried about your dog being properly loved and taken care of Kaija is definitely the girl to trust!

Safety, trust & environment

My home has a large fenced yard, so there is plenty of space to play outside. I have the space to crate a pup if needed, and no carpet, so accidents are not a concern (for those with puppies). My dogs absolutely love having other dog friends over to play.

Information Kaija R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements for care. I am happy to work with you to make sure their schedule is as normal as possible. Please let me know the health and vaccine status of your pup so that we can work out a plan for care that meets your needs.

A typical day

On a normal day, I feed my girls when I get up in the morning and let them outside. We come in, hang out while I work for a bit, then go for a walk. They either sleep or want to play throughout the work day, so I play when they want and work when they sleep. After work, I feed them and take them out for another walk. We have a nice park with paved trails near our house, so we tend to walk around there. After our second walk, we will play in the yard or inside, do some training, or hang out at home. We typically feed them right before bed. Then, they sleep on the bed, the floor, or in the kennel. Sometimes, we go to the dog park, or hike, or go for car rides to friends' houses for fun.
