Dogs are my antidepressant.
Pet care experience
Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! I know the competition is huge! Lol. A little about me...I am a natural born animal lover with an insatiable passion for dogs, particularly pit bulls and bully breeds. My dream is to have my own non profit rescue that will provide a sanctuary for bullies that have been through trauma, and education to the public on the true nature and beauty of these misunderstood breeds. I have years of experience working with animals of all kinds. I'm from the mountains in New Mexico so I've cared for everything from snakes, turtles and lizards to chickens, goats and horses. I love them all! I also have experience working in shelters and kennels and would not put my dogs in either. I have worked in several doggie daycares at which I couldn't continue because of inhumane treatment and unethical settings. I'd personally be furious to find out that my dog was not administered their medication or was on hot concrete, without shade or water, for two hours for "play time. Or my cat was forgotten for three days and left in a cage without food or water. Just a few things I've experienced over the years. Doggie day cares can be overwhelming due to person to dog ratio and the true intent of the business owners, which unfortunately seems to be money driven. I have fostered and rescued dogs in need. Two of which decided to join our family permanently! I have experience with housekeeping as well, which I like to add in at no cost. I have six dogs of my own, three pittie mixes, a doberman/lab mix, a dachshund and a chiweinie, that absolutely LOVE making new "friends". If you have an "only child" that just needs a playmate, I am certain one of mine would be thrilled to volunteer! I will love your fur baby as if it were my own. I am available to do walks, drop in visits, playdates (at your house or mine 🙂), overnight care, housesitting with cleaning services included or just cuddles and tummy loves. Did I mention I have magic fingers when it comes to booty scratches? It is my privilege to spend time with your pet and keep them safe, healthy and most importantly, happy. Consultations and meet and greets are always FREE! My dogs are my family and will treat yours the same. I have great references and am very reliable and trustworthy. I'm super excited to get to know you and your fur babies. 😃😃😃
Reviews
Yes Kari has card for my babies on several occasions and I trust her with them. Very reliable and responsible person. I am very pleased and comfortable with her in my home
Awesome service very freindly! Would reccomend!
Kari is very compassionate and loving of all animals. She has a special gift and could be regarded as a "dog whisperer". Her talent and understanding is what makes her the person anyone would love to have as a dog sitter. She is extremely attentive to all needs whether it is walking, feeding, sitting, or just a friendly "belly rub". I recommend her highly for anyone needing someone to give their pet the same love and attention their owner affords. Five stars to a fantastic dog sitter!!
Kari is an exceptional person who devotes herself to helping the less fortunate and showing kindness to those in need, be it humans or animals. She is a great person and an even more awesome dog person. In addition to her passion for animals, she has also proven to be responsible and reliable. I’ve never been left hanging when I needed her assistance. If that isn’t enough, she’s funny too! Overall, great personality and you can always leave your fur family in her hands knowing that not only are their basic needs being met, but also their other needs for love, play, patience, etc. 5 out of 5, would recommend.

In your home I will do my best to keep your pets routine as normal as possible to lessen any stress or anxiety they may have in your absence. At my home they would spend time both indoors and outdoors, weather permitting. I will provide plenty of potty breaks, toys and treats. I have crates if needed but only use them for comfort, not discipline. I have a large, fenced bark yard with plenty of room to run and play. They will NEVER be left unattended during their stay.
