Pet care experience
I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up having Labrador retrievers and always made sure that where I lived was conducive to playing with and walking my dogs. I currently have two rescues, a pitweiler and ACD/GSD, who I love SO much that I met and trained while completing a professional dog training program called Starmark. My full-time career is dog training, but I also do drop-in visits and walk dogs for clients. I used to board dogs as well, but currently live in a neighborhood with HOA restrictions. If you are traveling and need a compassionate, smart, attentive-to-detail individual to care for your pooches, get in touch with me. Especially during holiday periods, I book up, so plan ahead and I look forward to meeting you and your pups!
Reviews
Kalie is the best and always does an amazing job.
Kalie is wonderful. She went above and beyond to take care of our dogs. We will definitely use her again when we need a dog sitter.
Always the best!
I am new to Rover.com and could not be happier! Kalie was a lifesaver and took great care of my dogchild. She was punctual, communicative, friendly and thoughtful. I got great updates after each visit, which dramatically reduced MY separation anxiety. I am thrilled that I now have options to work late and/or travel while still providing too notch care for my fur baby. I would/am highly recommending Kalie to my family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to meet you and your pup before you go out of town so that you can show me the routine and where you keep your dog's food, toys, etc. I have clients who share their garage door codes or smart lock codes with me, or sometimes have places they hide keys so that I can enter while they are away. If your pup needs to be walked or needs to be let outside, you can dictate that with me in our meet and greet.
Information Kalie H. would like to know about your pet
I had a dermal allergic reaction to a client's dog during a meet & greet. I don't generally have allergies to dogs (I am allergic to cats, sadly), however I prefer to not watch bulldogs or any dogs that have wrinkling in the skin.
A typical day
With owner permission, I will take dogs on walks in their neighborhood. If appropriate, I'll play chase in the home, or grab a toy and fetch or play tug. I always bear in mind if the dog has physical limitations or if the type of play is over-arousing and could create too much excitement for the dog.
