Wildlife Biologist and Dog lover!

Pet care experience

**INSTANT BOOKING AVAILABLE FOR BOARDING/HOSTING in my own home (given we will message back and fourth a bit for some general information and answer any questions either of us might have). I only take one dog at a time so your dog will have their own private care and support. Please read through my profile for further details. And thank you for your interest! NOW OFFERING TRAINING WALKS $100/60min walk/session with you and your dog to learn some key basics and essentials to leash training. **Welcome to Heart Home and Pet Care services (operated and offered through Rover) **Please understand I charge a one time fee of $75 for up to an hour ‘Meet and Greet.’ This covers my time and expenses, thank you. Please have solidified your plans before reaching out, scheduling a preliminary call, or scheduling a Meet and Greet. This helps us both make the best use of our time and effort. Thank you. ** $50 cancellation fee on any/all CONFIRMED bookings (with the exception of emergency circumstances which will be determined on a case by cases basis). **SERIOUS INQUIRIES only please and thank you. Also please fill out your profiles completely or as much as you can, before sending me a request. I use these profiles to tailor my services and help us both find the right match for you. PLEASE CONFIRM YOU'VE READ THROUGH THE FEES, POLICIES, AND PROFILE on your initial request so that I may get back to you in a timely manner. Thank you. Complimentary 15-20min Discovery phone call/initial consultation available throughout the week by appointment. FaceTime ‘Meet and Greet’s’ and/or further consultation also available @ $50 for 45-1hour by appointment. All repeat clients please contact me personally for a special quoted rate! To all potential clients, I read through each and every one of your requests personally before I respond to you accordingly. Please let me know ASAP if your plans have changed or you are in the process of finding a sitter for your dates, as these dates and scheduling are only available as I’m in contact with a revolving list of requests, and prioritize those requests accordingly. (Also if these dates are not booked with you they do not show up at the top of the search for other potential clients looking for those same dates). If you are speaking with and meeting other potential sitters, that’s totally ok! You should! Your animals are important and it’s important to me that you find the right sitter for you. But please be courteous and let me know if that is the case so I can continue meeting and responding to my other requests. Also if your dates change, that’s also ok! But please take the time and let me know that this is a possibility in your INITIAL request. I respond to every request however I may take up to one full day to get back to you (24 hours). *Thank you all. I hope to be able to continue to provide quality services for this community. I am a professional wildlife biologist and animal behaviorist. I have been a part of many dog-friendly families for over a decade. Often called Auntie Kareesa, I am used to having many dog friends I consider and treat as if they were my own family. I love to take out my fury friends hiking with me and am good at being in tune with their needs. I am also good with all sorts of different breeds as I have studied many of them. As a wildlife biologist I am familiar with animal behavior in general, and most often I am able to help dog owners further understand their animals behavior and needs. I love learning from animals and the many things they can teach us as well as help educate myself and others about them.

Kareesa is awesome! Really appreciated that she wanted clear details. She sent pictures of my furbaby and gave me a daily update. Archie loved his stay!

Highly recommend! Kareesa watched our Dog while we were gone on a 10-day trip to visit family. She was great with Pepper, and our home was well kept. Kareesa texted photos and communicated clearly with us while we were away. She also has experience training animals, and she had many useful tips for us upon our return. We hope to have Kareesa pet sit again for us on our next trip!

Kareesa was excellent. She was very communicative about taking care of Navy Bean, and was reassuring during our meet and greet that all his needs would be fulfilled. Kareesa was able to administer his medication at the appropriate dosage and on time and was patient with him during their walks. I would highly recommend Kareesa, especially if your dog has special care needs. 10/10, and I look forward to booking with her in the future!

We have recently moved to the Tri-Valley area and were looking for a home to board our 14 years old Labradoodle when we travel. So glad that we found Kareesa, who has now looked after our pet twice during the past month. Kareesa kept us updated through text and photographs throughout the stay and we will definitely reach out to her again in the future.

A typical day

Your pet is given quality care and attention. Each pet and breed has very specific needs and preferences. I tailor everything I do aside from your feeding schedule, potty breaks, and walks, for each individual based on their specific needs. I will always play with an animal who wants to play with me, as well as have made up very specific games based on the pet’s personality and breed (as well as do research if I need some creative ideas). However I also understand and respect personal space and allow for an animal to choose how much interaction they want from and with me. I love playing by the way**

I am an entrepreneur and I work mostly from home with the exception of a few days a week where the most I will be gone at one time will be 4-6 hours. I only host one pet at a time and I provide quality care and a peaceful environment. My community offers long, safe, and private walking paths and hiking trails. I am a long time trusted house sitter and my service includes not only caring for your pet and/or pets but also watering plants, bringing in the mail, rolling out trash bins (if applicable) on trash days, and overall caring for your home and a high standard of upkeep in your home, as well as keeping your entire home and pet(s) friendly and loving company.
