Long Hikes to Cozy Cuddles
Pet care experience
With over a decade of dog sitting experience and a deep love of all animals, look no further! I am your gal. I used to be professional dog walker/pet sitter in Seattle and I loved every single part of that job, rain or shine. I love to build relationships with all dogs, big and small, friendly and cranky. Each one has their own unique personalities that makes them special and so exciting to be around. When watching your pup, I will see how she/he settles in and based on what you’ve told me, can determine each day what kind of mood their in, deciding if it will be an active day hiking, running, or swimming, or if we’ll need extra time cuddling at home. I have experience giving pets medication, walking multiple large dogs at once, reading dogs behaviors and anticipating situations that could happen. Basically, I love dogs more than I love people. :) Gerty is my right hand gal. She’s seven years old has calmed down immensely this past couple years but she is still a high energy dog who loves to exercise. So we are often on runs, walks or at the park. We have dogs over at our house all the time and if we aren’t on walks or at the dog park, Gerty and her dog friend will play all day until bed time. It literally warms my heart to watch her play with other pups. I have plenty of references from past client's whose dog's stayed with me or who's home's I stayed in while they were away, taking care of their dogs, cats and birds to watering plants and getting mail. I am a yoga teacher so i have a funky schedule but am home often to play with them, am very flexible and easy going to work with, so just send me a message with any questions you have and we can go from there! I hope to meet you and your pup someday soon!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety first, always! Even if your dog is great off leash, I will use a leash for a while as we get to know one another and build up a relationship. Dogs are welcome on my bed (it's really just a large dog bed ha) and on the couch. I highly encourage snuggling where they feel comfortable. When out and about I'm always paying attention to my surroundings and other dogs/animals to make sure everyone is safe and protected.
Home
Information Kali A. would like to know about your pet
All breeds big and small are welcome here. I would like to know the general information; allergies, any habits that need to be acknowledged, if they are good on walks, at dog parks and socializing with strangers. Do they need to be fed at certain times. Anything you feel needs to be known in order to get the best care possible for your pup!
A typical day
Depending on the energy and mood of the dogs, we'll decide to either go on long hikes and runs or maybe take a trip to the lake to wade in the water. Sometimes cozying up on the couch is what the pups need so I do my best to read and understand what each pup needs throughout the day.

Availability
Because I have my own high energy pup, we are outside every day doing something active. It changes with the seasons but we make sure to get out at least once a day for a walk, play, romp in the woods, swim in the lakes, etc.
