I work full-time outside our house Mon-Thurs but I work from home on Fridays. On weekends when we are dogsitting we will be home most of the time. I used to take my pup on a daily walk so glad to bring that back into my routine

About Kari & Alex H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have no other animals in the house. A fenced backyard with room to roam. Dogs are welcome on the furniture. Willing to do medication as needed and whatever else your dog may need to be healthy and happy during their stay. We are only taking kid-friendly dogs as my 4 year old has requested "nice dogs only". I have experience with reactive dogs as long as it is primarily other dogs they are reactive to for the safety of my kiddo.
Home
Information Kari & Alex H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know how your dog does on walks. If they need to be crated during the day or can free roam. Any concerns with other dogs or humans (only taking kid-friendly dogs). Any special meal time, bedtime, etc requirements. Also if your dog likes to play with stuffed animals that may belong to a small child good to know in advance so we can make sure to keep out of reach as much as possible
A typical day
Daily walks, lots of playing in the backyard when it's nice. My kid will hopefully help wear them out. Depending on the dog can take them out for activities around town as well.

Dog Loving Family Without a Dog
Pet care experience
My family of 3 lost our best boy last fall after 13 years together and are looking for some dog friends to fill out hearts part-time. We have a fenced yard for easy potty breaks and my 4 year old will love on your pup like crazy.
Reviews

Kari is quick to respond to messages and was easy to work with. She was super about last minute time changes. She sent pictures and kept me updated on how my girl was doing. All in all a good experience and Freddie gives her a paws up!
Kari & Alex took wonderful care for my dog. I felt like she was cared for the same as if she was at home! Thank you!

Kari was great with our dog! Great communication, sent updates with pictures and was very accommodating. Will book her again in the future 🤗
When it comes to my pets, trust isn’t something I give lightly, but Kari has earned it completely. Her love isn’t limited to her own dog, Tucker; it’s clear in the way she cares for my pets, too. She is thoughtful, attentive, and treats them with the same love I do. I feel incredibly fortunate to know there’s someone I can rely on completely when it comes to my fur babies.
