If your dog is staying at my house I’d like to have my dog meet yours to see how they interact together. My dog is very friendly and good with other animals. I do have a crate if needed in my house.

Information Kari D. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for any dog, it’s important for me to learn about their specific needs, personality, and daily routine. Knowing details ahead of time—like whether they’re a senior who needs a slower pace, a puppy who’s still in training, or a dog with special needs—helps me provide the best possible care. Every dog is different, and understanding their energy level, any medications, feeding schedule, or behavioral quirks allows me to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. The more I know about your dog beforehand, the better I can make sure they’re cared for just like you would.
A typical day
When I’m caring for dogs, I make sure they get plenty of fun, exercise, and attention based on their personality and energy level. I love taking dogs on walks through the neighborhood, local parks, or on trails where they can explore new scents and enjoy the outdoors. Playtime is always part of the routine, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with toys to keep them active and engaged. I also enjoy incorporating simple training games with treats and praise to help keep their minds sharp. If your dog is social and enjoys it, we can also visit dog-friendly parks or arrange safe playtime with other friendly dogs. After a fun day, I make sure they get plenty of relaxation and attention, whether that’s belly rubs, cuddle time, or just hanging out together. My goal is to make sure every dog I care for feels happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Experienced Dog Care You Can Trust
Pet care experience
I’m a reliable and experienced dog caregiver who’s comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I currently have a 122-pound chocolate Lab, so I’m very familiar with handling large, strong dogs, as well as smaller breeds. I believe every dog deserves exercise, attention, and care tailored to their personality and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, trail runs, or playtime at the park, I make sure dogs stay active, healthy, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on making sure dogs feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated like family—with plenty of exercise, affection, and fun.

Reviews
Kari did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Marlo while I was away for a month. She left everything tidy so when I returned I didn’t have any cleanup to do. I really appreciated that. I highly recommend her.
Kari is a loving dog owner, and she will provide a safe experience for your dog! She has a passion for hiking the trails which any dog would enjoy.
Any pet parent would be lucky to have Kari provide services for their fur baby! I have known her for many years and she is a very active athlete, kind and responsible. Kari is an avid runner, who often hits the trails with her own pup. She has even watched my children over the years and always goes above and beyond my expectations. If you are looking for a professional, trustworthy and caring pet service provider Kari will not disappoint!
She has her own dog and he's well trained. She loves walking, running, hiking, and just being outdoors. She usually takes her dog with her. My dog adores her. She's always offering to help out with him. My dog is a Chihuahua mix and she has a Labrador. She'd be a great person to care for someone's dog.
