Pet care experience
Dog Nerd. RVT. Your Dog Wins!
Hi! I’m a Registered Veterinary Technician with 15 years of clinical experience, but more importantly, I’m a lifelong dog person who genuinely loves spending time with, training, and learning from dogs. I have an ever-evolving background in dog sports and training, including obedience through expert level, scent detection, conformation, and canicross. I also have experience with e-collar training and maintaining the training and routines owners have established with their dogs. Both of my own dogs are e-collar trained, and I understand how important consistency is when someone else is caring for your dog. My veterinary background means I’m also very comfortable with medications, injections, fluid therapy, senior pets, mobility challenges, and dogs recovering from surgery or illness. I’m Fear Free Certified and place a big emphasis on keeping dogs comfortable, confident, and happy while they’re in my care. Whether your dog needs a little structure and enrichment, someone who understands an active working/sporting dog, or simply a person who will treat them like one of their own, I’d love to meet them! Ultimately, I love playing with dogs, teaching them, taking them on adventures, and having a happy, relaxed dog at the end of the day.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kali was so wonderful with my boy, she provided constant updates, and I truly felt like my dog was in the best hands possible.
Kali took amazing care of my 3 demanding dogs and took great care of my home as well. Highly highly recommended 👍
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kali and couldn’t recommend her more highly. She took such great care of our dog, Archie, and truly went above and beyond in every way. Kali brought Archie on lots of hikes using a long leash, which he loved, and he got along beautifully with her dogs. During his stay, Archie was dealing with an allergy issue, and Kali was incredibly attentive and proactive. She even took it upon herself to give him a bath to help keep him comfortable. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. She kept us consistently updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We always felt informed and reassured that Archie was in excellent hands. Archie came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. We would highly recommend Kali to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful dog sitter. We will certainly be booking with her again!
Kali was an excellent sitter for our high energy working breed dog (Coonhound/Springer Spaniel). It was great being able to leave our dog with someone with so much knowledge, training and understanding of dogs health and needs. Her exerperience in ecollar training was such a bonus as it allowed for a smooth transition and training maitenance under her care. She kept him happy, exercised and provided us with updates and photos throughout the stay. Will definetly continue to trust her with our pet sitting needs in the future!
Kali is a dedicated vet tech who works with animals every day. She is kind, patient, and trustworthy. Kali is also a loving dog mom. Anyone's pet would be safe and well cared for in Kali's experienced hands.
I would definitely recommend Kali as a pet sitter. She has a lot of knowledge on caring for and interacting with different behaviour types to make your pet's experience a positive one. She always cares for my pets as if they were her own!

Schedule
I’m very lucky to be working in a practice that allows us to bring dogs to work, so your pet would truly never be alone! I'm committed to providing an appropriate level of exercise, play and attention to your pet and therefore best suited for that as long as you’re ok with your dog coming to work with me during the week!

Safety, trust & environment
I use Fear Free handling techniques to properly introduce myself and build trust with your pet. As with my own dogs, I handle pets in a calm, reassuring manner with the goal of building a solid relationship from which we can grow.

A typical day
Depending on fitness level, we’ll do various appropriate activities like hiking, walking, running, swimming, or we can play around with some basic obedience or scent detection!

- It would be helpful to know ahead of time what a typical day looks like for your dog, so I can try my best to keep the routine similar. What sorts of things to they enjoy doing, what are the weak spots or problem areas in their training, and what your expectations are when I’m caring for them.
