Pet care experience

I am a dog lover!

I lived in Gig Harbor, WA from 2015 to 2020. I now live in South Port Orchard. I have found that most Dogs would rather stay in the comfort of their own home rather than have to stay at an unknown kennel. So I am happy to go to their homes and stay with them while their Humans are out of town. K9 NANNY Overnight at your house 1 night 1 dog/70.00 Multi-dog discount 2nd dog ad /30.00 Example 2 dogs 1 night/100.00 per night. (For the first 5 nights) Extended stay Discount On the 6th night, I give an extended stay discount if you are gone for more than 5 nights 6th night 1 dog/60.00 2nd dog ad/20.00 Example: 2 dogs 6th night/80.00 per night. (6th night and every night till you return) Whatever your dog's normal routine is, I do my best to make him feel like things are as normal as I can. Walks, downtime, meal time, everything is considered. Whatever your need is for your pet I will do the best to accommodate. K9-Nanny Kara I work from home part-time so I simply bring my laptop to your home and work from there. I adjust to your dog's needs if he/she needs a lot of interaction or walks or if they just want to nap I can be very quiet. I will respect your home like I would my own. Safety is my number one priority and I will do everything I can to keep your pet and your home safe.

Most of my Client's dogs are precious in their own way. They either have a fear of humans and or other dogs. Kenneling them is usually not an option without a considerable amount of anxiety. So my Clients prefer I come and spend the night in their homes while they are out of town so there's no undue stress for them or their beloved pet.
