Safety, trust & environment

Although I don’t offer services in my house, I take great pride in treating your home and pet(s) as if they were my own! I pay special attention to the health, safety, and routines so that your pet(s) are happy and well taken care of! I always leave the house in the same (or better) condition as I treat your house as my own home :)

Information Keri H. would like to know about your pet

Any restrictions or aggressions? Physical limitations? Specific commands? Activity or exercise preferences? On or off leash preference? Okay at dog parks or part of a dog pack for walks? Favorite games/toys?

A typical day

Whatever the age, stage, or energy level, I will make sure the attention and activity suits your animal's needs :) I LOVE dogs with higher energy levels who need to let off a bit more steam. I offer 1, 2, or 3 hour adventures in which we can jog, bike, hike, explore the lakes/rivers/beaches, etc. Please let me know if you are interested in booking one of these :) For dogs/cats/domestic animals who need to take things a bit slower, we'll take our time, stretch our legs, and enjoy plenty of TLC! For those animals who like the comfort of their own home (or yard), there is still plenty of love and fun to be enjoyed on your property!

Pet care experience

My name is Keri, and after years of working at vet clinics, emergency hospitals and house/farm sitting all over the world, I feel so fortunate I get to offer my pet care services all across the United States! I have a flexible schedule which gives me TONS of time to focus my energy and attention on your pets! Every animal is unique and deserves a tailored pet care experience. So please let me know if you have any concerns or special requests as their care is my top priority! In general, my services include feeding, watering, walking, running, letting out, giving medications and administering fluids, brushing, and massaging as well as collecting mail, watering house plants, and providing home security. I look forward to taking care of your pets and appreciate your consideration! Keri Hartig (aka Pet Care By Keri)

This was our first experience with Keri (or any cat sitter) and she was excellent! She got one of our girls who is pretty much afraid of everyone and doesn’t like to be touched much by anyone except on her own terms to cozy up to her. I highly recommend her. But regrettably, because I wish she was available more for us, so any more competition for her time doesn’t make me happy. 😂

My dog who has separation anxiety immediately felt comfortable with Keri! Really grateful to have her as a trusted dog walker/sitter.

Keri was phenomenal. I’m extremely selective about who I leave my dog with, and Keri was so great at easing my mind. She watched my dog in my house for over a week, provided me with daily updates and pictures, asked thoughtful questions, and left my house cleaner than it was when I left. Keri is kind, gentle, and diligent. She provided my dog with adequate exercise for her breed needs, and sent many cute photos and videos of their endeavors! I sincerely appreciate how great Keri was with my dog, and how thoughtful she was in terms of keeping me in the loop and responding promptly to any of my texts/ questions. Next time I need a pet sitter, Keri will be my first call!!

Keri was excellent with our dog Daisy. The first meeting/walk went well and I’m looking forward to additional care visits.
