Animal Lover To Watch Your Furbaby!
Pet care experience
I have been an animal lover my entire life and have dedicated my life to working with/ helping animals. I first started pet-sitting when I was 12 years old. I started off watching dogs and cats, both at their house or my own. I've had to administer medicines to various animals, and even sat for hours to hand feed a dog with cancer to make sure he'd eat. I've passed animal training and enrichment classes and have experience with healthy, senior, sick, and injured animals. Since then I've worked with all kinds of animals, from dogs, to llamas, to reptiles, and other zoo animals. I am studying to be a zookeeper and have experience with many species of animals after interning at a zoo.

Thanks for taking care of Mia! Appreciate the extra care for her skin condition.
Got home from a trip to find Mia wearing a sweater. Really appreciate the extra attention and care you give Mia.
Mia was very excited to see Kari! It’s great knowing Mia is well taken care of when I’m not home.

Safety, trust & environment
My pug is the most spoiled baby in the world. However, even though my dog is spoiled, I do not give other dogs anything nor do anything for them that their human does not permit. The dogs at my house are allowed on the couch and bed, but I realize other people don't feel the same way and I will adjust everything accordingly. At anyone else's house, I respect any and every rule. I fully respect everyone's rules and requests for their pet and follow everything exactly! Your babies are in perfect hands with me!

Information Kari M. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know ahead of time any type of health problems and medications that the animal is on and how to administer them. Definitely I would also need to know how the animal responds and acts towards other animals. Along with that, I would need to know if they have any food or other allergies. Energy levels, amount of time between potty breaks, length of walks and any other airfield instructions should be provided as well.
A typical day
Fetch is usually a favorite among dogs if they have somewhere to play! My pug loves to play with all types of dogs and enhance their playing experience if they get along. I sometimes like to use enrichment activities for the dogs to get their minds stimulated. (I learned a lot about enrichment techniques and different forms of enrichment in class and while working with various zoo animals. there's also a big open dog park with a lot of space near me that I love to take my dog and friend's dogs to, and I know other dogs love it too! All animals will be safe with me, as animal welfare is a very important part of my life!
