Dog boarding & vet care experience

Pet care experience

Let's be honest, I'm a crazy dog lover- I've worked in the boarding industry for 10 years (from pet care technician to general manager) and the vet industry for 2 years. I've owned dogs and cats for almost 30 years; both with my family growing up and I own my own dogs and cat. Vader is my 7 year old Border Collie/Retriever we from a shelter in Dayton. He's my agility prodigy and is the smartest dogs I've had. Luke is my 7 year old Beagle mix who is afraid of his own shadow. He does whatever Vader does and once he opens up to you, he's the kindest and most gentle soul. We keep them updated on all vaccines including the canine influenza and lyme vaccine. Both dogs are bathed regularly and I do their nails personally (I use a dremmel to grind them), and they are current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention (Bravecto and Interceptor). I'm knowledgeable enough to recognize good and bad behavior as well as warning signs of any stress or sickness. If you are working on training specifics (sit, stay, heal, leave it, etc) then I am more than happy to reinforce good behavior. There are no dogs I'm afraid of. If you have an active dog, I'd love to take them running or I can lay around with your elderly baby and give them love. During each walk, I will take a picture of your pet enjoying their time with me to reassure you that they are being well cared for. I am a new mom to a human child (Harrison, 4 months) and am in between jobs at the moment while he is at day care. Please shoot me a message and we can talk about what you need and let's see if we can't build a quality relationship :)

Kari was absolutely wonderful with my little old papillon and rambunctious 1yo boxer.

Kari has walked my Old English Sheepdog twice a week for the past few months and it has been a huge blessing to me! Long hours and other engagements keep me later than I'd like on certain days and it gives me such a piece of mind to know that Ginger gets out for 30 minutes of exercise. Kari takes great care of my dog as well as my house (letting herself in and out) and I feel so comfortable with her doing so. She also sends hilarious photos of her walks with my girl! Ginger and I definitely give her two paws up!

Kari has been amazing watching my two dogs! I highly recommend her for any pet sitting. She consistently keeps me updated and sends me pictures. She is super nice and sweet and I definitely fell like she took care of my dogs as if they were her own. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy getting to know each animal I care for very well so I know what their normal behavior is. I like to make sure my home and my clients home have a fence that is well maintained and to ensure the safety of your pet, I like to make sure I meet them first.

Information Kari A. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I would like to know about any type of medications, personality traits and any escape habits. I also like to keep veterinary information on hand just in case.

We will walk around the neighborhood or anywhere else you would like me to take them. If your dog is used to dog parks, I will have a blast taking them there to play!
