Dog Sitting while Training

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Karianne and I'm an animal fanatic! My "real job" is internet marketing - but I spend my free time with my furry friends (who doesn't)? Eventually, I'd like to care for animals full-time! A lot of people have some gripes about their pets, so in the past I've taken it upon myself to help my friends and clients modify their dogs behaviors with my hands-off training techniques! Some breeds I've worked with are the : Border Collie, German Shepherd, Husky, Papillon (Mix), Shepherd (Mix), Australian Shepherd, Poodle, Poodle (Mix), Rottweiler, and Pitbull. I'm looking forward to getting my certification to train service and search and rescue dogs in 2019 as the first step towards realizing my dream of starting a rehabilitation center for "problem dogs"! Throughout my life, I've lived with a menagerie of animals, to include dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, birds, rats, mice, reptiles, and saltwater and freshwater fish! We rescued a lot of wild animals growing up, so I've had the chance to save a lot of lives, and I have a knack for understanding what animals need to be safe and healthy. Since I freelance, my schedule is unparalleled when it comes to flexibility! I'd love to hear what you needs are in regards to your pets - I'm sure I can accommodate them! I grew up in a family business and customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to me! In short - I'd love to be your favorite pet sitter! I'm available by phone, e-mail, and text, and I'm more than happy to send you texts and videos of your pet and I having a blast together! Let me know if you've got your eye out for someone fun, flexible, and experienced to watch over your pet! Looking forward to hearing from you! ~ Kari

Karianne was amazing and we are grateful we hired her to watch our dogs while we were on vacation for a week! She noticed our girl Lia wasn't wanting to eat and was licking her mouth a lot so she looked in her mouth and found was is hopefully an abscess. She contacted us and our vet immediately and was willing to take her in the next day for us! She got her antibiotics and stayed at the house more then she planned on to watch her and make sure she got her meds at the right times. She sent pictures to us daily and they were both happy and got lots of play time, walks, and cuddles! All the pictures helped me and my husband make it through the week away from them! She gave some great training advice for us to work with both of them on some problems that we were having! Highly recommend Karianne!

Karianne is an absolutely amazing pet sitter. Not only does she do a great job of taking care of your pets and interacting with them, but she has a great amount of knowledge regarding animals, particularly dogs. Her knowledge set makes me feel confident that if something happened to my dog while I was away, Karianne would know exactly what to do and how to handle the situation. She is also a great trainer, and thoroughly enjoys doing that. When she was pet sitting my dog, she observed how my dog yanks on her leash when she goes for walks, something that always really annoyed me and no matter what I tried I couldn't seem to get my dog to stop. She gave me several tips on how I could amend that behavior and even said that she had done a little of the training herself when she was taking her for walks while I was away. I followed her advice, and within a little over a week and, my dog was walking politely on a leash. I would highly recommend Karianne to anyone who is looking for someone to love and treat their dog the same way they would!

Karianne shows great love towards dogs and they in turn love her. When she was 13 years old she was the best dog trainer I had ever met! She can calm down a frightened dog in seconds, loves getting down & playing with puppies, while also teaching them how to behave, and is a very kind, capable and responsible person. I had no hesitation in entrusting my dog to her.
