Passion for Pets

I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs for years! I love walking dogs, playing fetch or just cuddles on the couch! Let me care for your furry friend I am currently working full time as a special Ed teacher. I have evenings free as well as weekends and holidays. I get home at 3:30 each day. I have a big dog and little dog. I would provide the service you desire for your pet. My dogs have free roam of the house. I have a fenced in backyard that my dogs live to play in. I love to take the dogs on walks even in the winter. I work full time as special Ed teacher so am available for home visits, boarding on weekends and walks. I have holidays off and would live to take care of your car or dog! I take dogs that are in my care on two daily walks. I have a fully fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I will crate your dog if that is what you prefer at any time during the day. If I provide in home service I will also provide walks and play time.

Kari did a great job housesitting and taking care of our cat and dog. She was prompt, communicative, and always kept us in the loop and sent lots of cute pictures!

We are so glad to have found Kari to watch our blind dog Molly over the weekend. We had a little meet and greet before and I felt right away that Kari was going to take great care of Molly. She sent us updates and was great at communicating. Molly was well taken care of and we felt very at ease going away for the weekend.

Kari took good care of Sherlock, communicated daily with us and made sure he was kept cool in hot weather. While he was eager to see us when we returned, he had a good time with her and Maggie.
