Fun-Loving Dog & Cat Vacations!

Pet care experience

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE 5+ years. I’ve worked in a zoo, nature center, and am a certified Dog Trainer. PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Had pets in home my whole life! My personal pet loves of my life have included: Dogs, Cats, a Hamster, Guinea Pigs, a Snake, Tropical Fish. Current Loves: My Australian Shepherd (she would love to play with your pup!), and my cat, Abigail (she enjoys glaring at and judging ridiculous dogs playing from her Queenly overlook.) My son, who already has a gentle hand and talent with our pets, but will either be in daycare or in a safe play space away from pups. .

We left our four month old puppy with Kami for the day while skiing nearby. This was my first experience using Rover and Kami was great!! She took COVID precautions during drop-off and pick-up. Kami sent me pictures and updates throughout the day and provided a thorough report on how things went at pick-up. My pup, Simone loved Kami and her dog, Rose and they made her a very happy pup! Simone has a lot of energy and is still in training and I really appreciated Kami's patience with her. If I am in the area again, I will not hesitate to see if Kami is available to care for Simone.

Our cockapoo stayed with Kami for the weekend. From our initial emails to meeting her, she was wonderful. She was polite, sent pics and updates. She even sent a summary of the visit! She has a dog and a cat and a family too. Kami is the best Rover you’ll find.

Kami and Rose are great! Our dog, Coco, visited Kami twice while we were on a ski vacation. She was so excited to return on the second occasion. She was well looked after and communication was constant and easy. Thank you Kami and Rose!

Safety, trust & environment

OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT: A good portion of my backyard is already fenced off with a 6 foot tall chain link fence. It is secure, safe and offers a small play area and potty area. Access to fenced backyard available to dogs whenever they like for as long as is safe and comfortable weather wise. We are currently in progress of expanding this space even further so that dogs can run and romp even further together. INDOOR ENVIRONMENT: Inside my house: Dog's are allowed to free roam during their entire stay. Dog's have access to a dog safe room with room to indoor play. Other rooms they have free access to include the foyer, and a decent sized kitchen they are welcome to romp and play in as well. They are welcome to go upstairs if they are cat friendly, but most dog's seem to avoid my cat's queenly domain. When my son is home they are separated from a small living room space which doubles as my son's playing area. YOUR DOG's PLAYMATE Our Australian Shepherd, Rose will be available to play the entire time. A photo or video tour of my home will be provided to you. Due to COVID, appointments to visit my home in person must be made in advance. BOARDING/NIGHTTIME: I have a safe clean crate that will be disinfected with dog safe cleaning supplies between each dog's stay and as needed during their stay. Crate bedding is provided as well as a water dish attached to inside during bedtime hours. Feel free to bring your own bedding if you wish. Modifications can be made to this set up to match your dog's personality. (Depending on dog's personality I will consider requests for dog to free sleep with dog crate door open in the dog safe room. Overnight, they would only have access to dog safe room.)

Information Kami M. would like to know about your pet

SIZE RESTRICTIONS: Dogs must be under 60lbs REQUIREMENTS: Dogs must meet all typical vaccine requirements and proof will need to be provided before their stay. (This includes Rabies Vaccinations, Distemper, Parvo, Hepatitis, and Bordetella). Dogs must be on a flea preventative. YOUR DOG's TEMPERMENT: Dogs should be friendly with children, other dogs, preferably cats as well...but they MUST be friendly with other dogs. Please let me know if you are unsure if your dog has a friendly temperament with children or cats... I already have my home set up so that my child has a dog free safe area to play in. If your dog does not do well with cats, this is ok...my cat has the upstairs she can retreat to that will be off limits for dogs that are not cat friendly. In any circumstance, my home is open concept enough that I am ALWAYS within view and monitoring all. CATS: If my calendar appears booked for boarding please inquire. I can host only 1 dog at a time. However, I can host a cat in addition to this. Cats are given their own private space upstairs in guest room. First time pets: I understand that our dogs will be meeting for the first time, and that during COVID-19 it is not possible to do a typical meet and greet. I can slowly introduce your dog to my dog and if there are any differences in personality they can be separated during stay if need be. However, my dog has enjoyed every dog she has interacted with thus far so she is really looking forward to making new friends :)

A typical day

Winter: Dogs can enjoy romping in the snow in fenced backyard together. Indoors there are lots of shareable dog toys and my Aussie loves to play. Walks are possible but not guaranteed due to Weather restraints, in lieu of walks your pup will be able to enjoy scheduled active play with myself with toys in the snow and indoors (ball tossing, tug of war, etc.) Dog will always have access to my Aussie to play anytime they are both interested. COVID-19: Please wear a mask to drop off and pick up your pet. I have a front porch area for transfer of pet. Virtual home tours are available. I'll conduct responsible pet introduction myself during the pandemic. Pets can meet through a barrier, then slowly introduced. Safe Boarding and Daycare options are still available for dogs that do not end up getting along with my dog, and will be implemented if necessary. Please free feel to inquire if you have preferences for safe drop off and pick up during COVID19. Due to Covid-19 I am currently only hosting 1 dog at a time. All shared areas/supplies and boarding crate are thoroughly disinfected in between dogs. Summer: Dogs can enjoy romping in fenced backyard together. Indoors there are lots of shareable dog toys and my Aussie loves to play. A daily walk is likely, unless owner requests to opt out. Summer activities can be arranged as well (sprinkler, plastic puppy pool time, etc.) Feeding: For safety Dogs will be fed in separate rooms. I can feed up to 3x a day. If you prefer a special diet and/or that I do not feed a certain food type and/or treats please let me know in advance otherwise your pet may get dog treats (currently they are BarkBox treats). Please prepare your own dog food. In a run out emergency I have Diamond Dog Food kibble available but please pack more food than you think you will need just in case. (so that your dog does not have digestive issues adjusting to new food). Medications: We can discuss the administration of oral medications if they are needed. This needs to be discussed before booking is confirmed so that your pets medications needs are ensured to be in capable hands. Special Needs Dogs: We can discuss your dog's special needs, please inquire. I will text photos/video of your dog at least once daily during their time here at my home and of their accommodations. I'm happy to send more photos anytime.

Availability

AVAILABILITY I'm currently at home 24/7 during the winter months. My home is set up so that your pet will always be within my view/monitoring. Preferred pick up time is by 7:00pm on the last day pet is scheduled to stay. Drop off time can be arranged at booking. SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS: Early Drop Off: Before 7am. $5 per pet. I rarely accept bookings with a drop off time before 7am. This is because I have a sleeping toddler, but feel free to ask. If I do accept an early drop off there will be a manual fee added to the booking of $5 per pet. Late Pickup: After 8pm. $5 per pet. I live near several attractions and understand that families may like to enjoy a peaceful dinner together before picking up their dog. So I accept pickups by 8:00pm. Pick up’s after 8:00pm will be charged a manual fee of $5 per pet. DOGS 40-60 lbs: Requests for Dog’s larger than 40 lbs are often accepted :). I accept these dog’s on days where there is an extra set of adult hands on deck. This is for my and my son’s safety. This schedule of when this is available is not consistent so just ask :) Dog’s larger than 65 pounds: I NEVER accept dog’s over 65 pounds.
