Pet care experience

Full-time stay at home mom

I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Personally, I had a 7 lb Yorkie and a big bird dog, and currently a Wirehaired Pointer and a toy Australian shepherd, so I can handle just about any dog with any energy level you throw my way. I am available 7 days a week and any hours you need. I love to take dogs to the park, on hiking trails, walks, and on car rides (as approved by owner). I also have a special place in my heart for elderly dogs and I love to play with them, snuggle, or take them for walks at their pace. I look forward to helping you with your doggy needs!

Really good communication and took great care of our dog. Her own dogs were friendly and harmless and got along great with our dog. We would recommend Kari.

Best dog person I know. Very patient and understands how dogs work. Knows how to have fun with them to where they won’t wanna come home. I would definitely recommend her for all your dog needs.

Dog Walking • Jan 28, 2018

Kari was amazing and went the extra mile. Kari communicated all the way from when she was on the way through when she left. She took Strider on a nice walk and she shared pictures, detailed information on his "business" and a map of where they went. Above and beyond, it was wet outside and Kari took the time to wash Strider's feet and dry them with a towel so as to not get mud in the house! Talk about amazing, yes that is Kari. I will be using her again in the future.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large partially fenced yard that my dogs run around in. I can walk/supervise your pups outside as needed. We do scheduled meal time, so I can keep your pup on any schedule needed.

Pets

A typical day

We can snuggle, play fetch, go for walks, have treats, and go for car rides. Whatever your dog is up for, we can do. The world is our oyster!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Kari can host up to 2 pets per night
I will need to know level of aggression to new people and other dogs, treat preferences, walk/park preferences, as well as if they like to snuggle. Unfortunately, if your dogs have any aggression towards children I will not be able to take them as I have 3 little ones.
