Pet care experience

Retired Marine & Animal Whisperer!

I've always had animals growing up and my first job as a twelve year-old was actually working at an in-home doggie daycare, sometimes housing up to 18 doggies at a time! I learned all about baths, grooming and general care, as well as administering medications for those special pups. My beloved lab/collie mix "Mogli" (pictured) recently passed away, so I am trying to fill my home with some puppy love. I also had a mini pig, "Oliver" who I adored, so I have experience with piggies too! Big dogs don't scare me, as I recently lived with two great danes. Bring your furry friends over to my home and let them sniff around my home and big fenced backyard! I am a retired Marine with a big house, so I have plenty of time on my hands and plenty of love to give!

Whenever Kari has watched my German Shepherd Mya, I am always comfortable knowing that she will be taken care of. Mya Loves Kari! Her prices may seem higher than others, but rest assured your pet is in good hands!

Kari was outstanding with my boxer Tigger. She was able to handle his high energy with walks and running. She also was able to meet his needs of being pampered and spoiled. Kari kept me informed on him and when I picked him up he really liked being with her. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her. I really appreciated that she only has one dog at a time. Earl Fain

Kari was super sweet with Lucy. Her house and yard were perfect. She was welcoming and took great care of her for us.

Kari was wonderful. Happy happy dogs & cat. I had never left my 14 year old dog , & cat, and 5 year old dog for overnight before. I was worried they might not eat well or adjust to an unknown person quickly. Kari managed them well. Sent lots of pictures and text messages of the eating and playing. She is more like than a 5 Star rated pet/home sitter. Highly recommended!

Great experience with Kari house/dog sitting. We were lucky that she was available last minute & she did great with our Rottweiler. We will definitely be rebooking with Kari again!

Schedule

I'm home all day with the occasional outing or lunch, so I'm available to give your fur baby plenty of attention! I can be laid back and snuggle but also have the energy to take your pup for a run if they're wild!

Safety, trust & environment

I give all the love in the world. I have baby/dog gates, a tall fence with no holes for little dogs. I also make sure to separate pets who need to be isolated for behaviour reasons if necessary and I can be trusted with any tasks you need from me (mail, trash, deliveries, medications, etc)

A typical day

I will probably end up taking lot of selfies with your dogs and teaching them a foreign language...sorry in advance! I love to go for walks and runs as well as sit and cuddle. I am also open to letting your doggie explore on their own if they are shy.

I don't have a breed preference, I have worked with all types. I would just want to know about leash or people aggression as well as any type of health issues.
