Safety, trust & environment

If I’m coming to your home, I’ll follow any rules you have for pet care! I also prefer to do a meet and greet when possible to get to understand your needs and expectations.

Information Kari S. would like to know about your pet

If there is any special care that is needed - medicine, etc, I’m happy to do that. If you don’t want your dogs to have treats, please let me know because mine are very spoiled with them. I do crate my dogs when I’m not home, but I am comfortable with not crating yours if they do not require it.

A typical day

I typically start the day with an outside play time in my fenced in yard for as long as they like weather permitting, where they will be supervised at all times. I have more toys than pups can usually know what to do with, so if they want to tug..we will tug! If they want to chase tennis balls down the long hallway, we can do that too! I like to spoil with plenty of snuggles and pets. I do work from home, but take breaks throughout the day to give the fur babies love and let them outside!

Pet care experience

Everyone has that friend that when they have a get together, the friend is playing with the kids and pets. I’m that person. I grew up with both cats and dogs. I currently have two dogs - a rescued springer spaniel and her puppy (springer/lab mix) that I rescued a few years later when he was returned to the rescue. I also have experience with large breed dogs (Great Pyrenees). I have experience with young and old dogs, along with distribution of medicine. I’m not the person that will go on a run with your dog, but I will play with them. I will walk them. I will give lots of scratches and play with toys with them. I’ll treat them as my own very spoiled dogs! I’ll make sure that they are well loved and cared for when you’re busy!

I cannot recommend Kari enough. She was willing to work with me last minute, and then went above and beyond while watching my crazies. I have three dogs that have just moved across the country, two of them are geriatric, and they were leaving masses all over the place. Kari it took care of it like a champ, even offered to help clean and put a load of wash in, etc. Bringing her own mop to make sure the house was left in better condition she found it in while simultaneously taking such good care of my babies. As a sitter on her, Myself, I would have to say that this is exactly the type of person you want watching your pets. ❤️ thanks Kari, I will definitely be reaching out to you again soon!
