Genuine and grounded dog care
Pet care experience
I currently care for 3 active dogs aged 5, 4, and 3. My dogs are my life and my love for them has led me to fostering at a local rescue where I have fostered and cared for over 35 dogs in my home over the last three years. I have experience with a broad spectrum of pups and a variety of breeds that have taught me that every dog is very different and may require different approaches of care. I also am very familiar with dogs with anxiety and the special requirements they may need to feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away. I thoughtfully take in owners specific routines for their pups and carry them out in order for their dogs to be more as ease while their owner is away.
Reviews
Kari watched out two cats for a week and loved them in our stead. Her checking were full of pictures and we would definitely recommend Kari!
Kari was great she was able to fit us in her schedule for 2 drop in visits, especially when it was last minute of me booking. She gave a update on what Suede was doing and sent pictures. I highly recommend her.
We couldn’t be happier with Kari. She is so patient with our anxious pup and has gone out of her way to get to know our dog and her quirky tendencies. We so highly recommend her!!!
I cannot speak highly enough about Kari! During every meeting she demonstrates knowledge of positive reinforcement practices and is attuned to the individual personality and needs of each dog she meets. Kari has several years experience in working with rescue dogs and fostering, making her well versed in the more difficult areas of animal care and more than qualified in meeting the needs of our 5y/o high energy pit mix and 13y/o lab. The demeanor of our dogs when we return only solidifies this. She is always pleasant and takes a genuine interest in caring for our dogs as if they were her own which offers us peace of mind when away! Based on our experiences we recommend Kari every time!

Safety, trust & environment
My dogs have a fenced in yard where they are able to free roam safely. When it comes to the safety of your pets, it is my top priority. I check all collars and harnesses as well as leashes to make sure everything is secure and functioning. I make sure to get all information about a pet before taking them out for walks such as if they are reactive to other dogs, prefer a specific route, or require treats to redirect along the way. My own dogs can be scared leaving their comfort zone so I know how important it is to make sure everything is fastened properly and I am aware of what triggers them. I try to take notice of certain cues the dog may be giving in order to decrease any stress they may begin to feel due to environmental stimuli.
