Experienced dog lover & care-taker
Pet care experience
Growing up with dogs my entire life I've nearly two decades of experience as the main care giver for dogs of all sizes. Currently I have a 1-year-old lab mix who would love to accompany your dog but can also spend her time in a separate part of the house if we are boarding. Additionally, I have successfully pet sat older dogs and those with medical issues, and can confidently handle dogs of all sizes, ensuring they receive the care and affection they deserve while their owners are away.
Reviews
Kali is a fantastic dog sitter. She has watched Lilly for a little over a year every time I go out of town and Lilly absolutely loves her. I never have to worry if my dog is getting taken care of because Kali always sends updates. Lilly loves Kali’s dog, Willow, and is always very happy and exhausted from running around when I pick her up. Kali has a fenced in yard that she lets the dogs out to play in as well as takes them on a few walks a day. My dog is elderly and can’t always rough house with her puppy and when that’s the case, Kali lets Lilly cuddle with her and separates her from the puppy. I couldn’t suggest Kali enough as a dog sitter, dog walker or dog lover. Anyone’s pets will be in great hands with Kali!
Katherine has watched our dog on several occasions and she’s the best! We received daily updates on our dog and she always comes home happy and tired. Our dog has a little bit of leash reactivity so we need to trust whoever is watching her and Katherine is phenomenal with her. She also has a friendly dog of her own, so I know they get plenty of play time while we are away. Katherine is a home away from home for our dog.

I have a fully fenced in yard that your dog would be able to have all to themselves. My home is two floors, but I am able to set up a comfortable sleep area for you dog on the first floor if their mobility doesn't allow them to easily access the upstairs bedrooms. I allow dogs that I sit to be off leash in my yard but never let them outside alone. A meet and greet with my 1 year old female lab is required before any booking can be confirmed.

Information Kali J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dogs needs any medications or has special circumstances. I can provide solo and secluded walks for leash reactive or nervous dogs.
A typical day
Willow and I (and your pup too!) start our day around 7am with a long walk around our neighborhood. If the weather isn't on our side, Willow and our boarder or day care pup have some time to run around in the fully fenced it yard before coming in for breakfast. The dogs are allowed to play in my home office while I work for a few hours. I start working between 8 and 9 and we break for lunch around 1130/12noon and work on simple commands or enrichment puzzles before taking another walk. The afternoon is spent either at the park or throwing a ball or stick around the yard. I wrap up work around 4pm most days and give the dogs another bathroom break. Willow eats dinner around 6pm but we can adjust and add a feeding time for your pup if you prefer a schedule! Our last bathroom break of the night is around 9pm.

I currently work from home full time and can be available any time during the week or weekends with notice. We take walks 2-3 times a day and allow yard access and play time multiple times per day. I also have a number of enrichment puzzles if the weather isn't favorable / you have a less active dog.
