Pet care experience

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 is great. We have used her twice and couldn't be happier with her time with our dog and cat.

Kari (and dog Maggie) had cared for our English Conner spaniel before so we were happy to request her services once again. Kari communicated frequently, sent occasional photos, and shared questions and concerns in a timely manner. Our dog was well-cared for, dropped off and picked up at day care once each week while we were gone, and appeared content while we were gone. Of course, we were happy to see him excited to greet us on our return. We expect to seek Kari’s help again in the future and feel confident she will provide good care.
