Senior dog haven, WFH

Pet care experience

**For dog boarding I'll ask if your dog would get along with a senior dog or has a calmer temperament. If your dog is high energy I might not be the best fit due to my dog's age. **I’ll need at least three days notice from the current date to be able to schedule a meet and greet before the boarding. I'll walk or check-in on active or younger dogs anytime though. House sitting: I'll ask if my dog could tag along if possible and I would work from there during the week. I work from home during the week except Thursdays, so I can walk and play with your dog during the day those days. Dog Boarding: - Your calm or senior dog would be a fantastic fit here! My dog is a senior dog that loves to sleep and has a very calm temperament. - There's a large and cozy couch to lounge in and even a large queen size mattress in the bedroom just for dogs! - We have a chill atmosphere in the home though will provide plenty of exercise with a nice walking route in a quiet neighborhood and the dog park 5 minutes away. About me: - Personality type ENFJ whose strengths are a deeply caring persona. - I will always do my absolute best to make sure your pet is well cared for with numerous updates and genuine care. - I have a passion for service and giving back so 20% of the cost of your dog's stay will benefit four different charities located in Michigan. Let me know if you want proof of donations - or there is a certain charity you would want a portion of the booking cost to go towards. * Last Day Dog Rescue (Livonia, MI) 5% * Michigan Animal Rescue League (Pontiac, MI) 5% * Waggin Tails Dog Rescue (Northville, MI) 5% * Friends of Michigan Animal Rescue (Belleville, MI) 5% Dog walking or check ins: I have a local and national park pass on my car and I can bring your dog to any park in the area you choose. I love to go to the dog park with your dog so if you have a pass I’ll for sure bring them there! I can go to any other city or community dog parks you choose if you wish. Pick up and drop off extra for driving and cleaning dog off if they get muddy for dog parks - $10 for a park in the same city if I have to drive there - $15 for next city over - $20 for 30 min away or more With dog parks I will stay at the park until your dog is tired. I’ll do anything to keep dogs and the dog owners happy! I love to walk and care for dogs and I’d be happy to walk them as much as you’d like when I’m free. Contact me with any questions or concerns and I’ll get back to you as soon as I possibly can by text or call. Work from home so I can do walks pretty often during the day. Have to go in on Thursdays though so I would have my partner walk before 4pm. Otherwise will get home at 5 that day We have a house with an unfenced yard with leads and can walk around the block, privacy at the end of the street with nature.

Daisy had an amazing time! She definitely matched the senior dog energy. Will definitely be boarding her with Kare and Steve again

Kara and Steven took excellent care of our old girl. I was nervous about leaving her for three night but Kara was great at giving me chat and photo updates. I would definitely use Kara and Steven again.

Kara was fantastic! I get nervous leaving my dog but Kara did a great job looking after him! She responded quickly and sent lots of pictures! She even helped me out when my flight got delayed and I had to pick him up later than anticipated. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Information Kara & Steven M. would like to know about your pet

Do you have a dog park pass and would you want me to bring them there? What is your dog’s potty schedule? / when do they like to go? Does your dog get along with other dogs? Would it be an issue to have another dog around at the same time as yours? Is your dog high energy or would get along with a senior dog for boardings or daycare?

A typical day

Wake up early and will feed everyone before going on a walk. Usually dogs nap for awhile while I work and around 2 will do another walk. Then another around 8-9 Dog parks are an option
