Pet care experience

Dog Loving Teacher!

I've had two adopted dogs in my adult life for the past 10 years. I grew up with boxers and adopted greyhounds. I also grew up with two cats and my mom currently has two cats as well. I have two dogs who love other dogs. Both go to doggy day care. Perry is 35 pounds and Chandler is 25 pounds. I look forward to hearing from you!

Kari and her dogs were wonderful hosts for our dog while we were on vacation for several days. She provided great pictures and daily updates. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!

Kari and her two dogs were amazing weekend hosts for our 1.5 year old dog. She provided us many updates and pictures to show all of the fun the dogs were having. We highly recommend Kari to anyone and will definitely be boarding our dog with her again soon.

Kari has been a dog mama for over a decade, and a dog friend forever. In a time of need where a delayed flight kept us from making it home as expected, Kari drove to our house to feed and care for our beloved pup. I would trust her with my pet's care any day of the week.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I'm a teacher and work a typical 8-4:30 schedule. I have one 25 pound cattle dog mix and one 35 pound border collie mix at home. I have a dog walker who comes midday to let him out who would be able to let your dog out too! I also only work 5 minutes away and can come home on my lunch break as well. My dogs go to doggy daycare a few times per month so they're good with other dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 6 foot wooden fenced yard on a dead end street. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks around the neighborhood after work. I crate my dogs when not home and ask that your dog be crate trained as well. I live alone (plus the two dogs) and will only ever care for one pet family at a time.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs will be let out in my yard for a morning romp/potty, be fed before I go to work. They will be let out midday and then we will go for a walk or two when I get home from work. Followed by cuddles on the couch for a movie night!

Please make sure that your dogs are up to date on shots and preventative meds. Please let me know any quirks. :) I'll provide the cuddles!
