Dogs rule everything around me
Pet care experience
*Returning to Rover with our Aussie puppy! He’d love to make some new puppy friends. I grew up in West Texas with horses & cattle. I’ve cared for all kinds of critters — farm animals to reptiles. I have endless love, enthusiasm & energy for all of them. I (almost always) work from home & my schedule is flexible. Very grateful for additional dogs/cats added into the mix, keeping things fun, interesting & varied. We have a fenced-in yard in a very walkable neighborhood. I’m comfortable with large & tiny dogs, crating, administering meds. We stay super active, the critters are easily (& enthusiastically) incorporated into the weekly schedule. My child & dogs turn into absolute goblins in the absence of structure. Sticking to a routine is no prob/is everything. I’m a pro at following instructions carefully, sending cute photos & providing as many updates as wanted. Cones, crates, meds, foods, whatever — no prob.
Reviews
The fourth time we have had Kaki sit for Bo. He's our special boy, and we wouldn't leave him with just anyone. Kaki is fantastic, and he loves when she shows up. He is sooo pleased to see her. He is always returned to us happy and healthy. She is a terrific professional, and I highly recommend her.
Exceeded our expectations and kept our very busy Aussie, busy! She loves dogs and will take the time to play with them and pet them. I will be booking again.
Kaki took such wonderful care of our new pup! so nice to know he’s safe and sound while we’re at work :-) thank you as always, Kaki!!
Kaki was the BEST. We presented her with a hoard of animals and she left every single one of them happy, contented, and loved by the time we got home. Despite dealing with a broken key, sketchy security system, and a manipulative cat, Kaki was so patient and kind the whole way. She always kept us updated, and we never had to worry about our mini-farm the whole time we were gone. She even managed to lure our scaredy-cat out and make her his new favorite person!! If you’re reading these reviews trying to figure out whether you should book Kaki or not, read no further and book her now!!!
About Kaki M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m hyper vigilant with pet safety. I’ve paid careful attention to the way my own pet’s sitters instill feelings of trust and safety and I just try to emulate them — being consistent, communicative, loving.
Information Kaki M. would like to know about your pet
I need to know any triggers to watch out for, meds, preferences, behavior when people walk in, where they sleep, treat policies, reinforcement commands. I would also like to know of any/all ridiculous nicknames (because I love them).
A typical day
We love a good hike, car ride, going swimming. Not a big fan of dog parks but I love play-dates, pup-cups, parading the pets around like we won them at the fair.
Services
Kaki can watch in your home
Availability
I work from home, which is cool because I love animals and hate sitting at my computer. It’s easy (and honestly sanity-saving) to incorporate animals into the daily routine.
