Dog Lover Without A Dog

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Kari. My husband, Mike, and I live in a one bedroom in Edgewater. We had a boxer named Lola that we rescued when she was four. She blessed our lives for five years. She ended up dying from being old. So, we are very experienced with taking care of dogs in different stages of their lives. We moved into our building strictly because it allowed dogs, however, now we are unexpectedly expecting. We aren't quite ready to take on another dog, but would love to watch yours for you while you're out of town. I love dogs, so when I’m boarding, I spend most of my weekends home, which means I’ll be giving your dog lots of affection, attention and walks! Dogs have lots of nervous anxiety being away from you. So, to help them feel better, I walk them at least four times a day for 30-45 min. We spend lots of time on the beach, and on the paths. We also have a dog park close by if your dog likes parks. If your dog likes to run, my husband, Mike is always down for an early morning running companion. Between the two of us your dog spends lots of time playing outdoors and getting plenty of attention. They will be sure to return healthy and happy!

Kari was very professional and made me comfortable that my wonder pup was in a loving home.

Kari and Mike have been such great hosts to our rescue lab. They are completely in tune and responsive to his needs and quirks. We feel extremely comfortable having him stay there and are so glad to have found them!

Kari and Mike were great! They were very communicative and asked great questions prior to Parker's stay. During the stay, they were very active with Parker and updated us with great photos of their time together. Parker returned home super happy.

Kari was an amazing dog mom for many years! She has always taken great care of my older dog and I would trust her to do so anytime!

Information Kari L. would like to know about your pet

Our only concern is that we just moved into our apartment and we have new furniture. If your dog has a tendency to chew on furniture, I don't think we'd be able to accommodate him or her.

A typical day

We live right off of the lakefront path. Many owners in our building have dogs, so it is a very dog friendly neighborhood. We are an active couple who enjoys spending our days outside when we can.
