You'll usually find me at a party sitting on the floor with the dog, asking strangers if I can pet their pups, or sharing unsolicited photos of my own puppers. I’m also very active and love pups that don’t mind daily walks or going on a nice run! I’ve found that dogs make the best running buddies.

Safety, trust & environment

I've raised puppies of my own, pup-sat for puppies and in multi-pup homes and have experience with the sweet gray-faced seniors. I don’t mind assisting with special needs pups, mobility issues, diaper changes or sponge baths, I’ve done it all. I also have experience with all breeds, from the peanut pups to the big ol' pibbles. Don’t let my small size fool you, I can easily pick up a 150lb pup with ease if needed!

Information Keri M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, preferences or manner issues (resource guarding, not allowed high value treats, doesn’t like their paws touched) that way I can respect their boundaries

A typical day

I’m a big runner and love taking walks. I also enjoy playing ball and toss with my own pups. I’m a very active person and enjoy being outside!

Pet care experience

I have 4 of my own furbabies but have had dogs/cat and a variety of other pets my entire life. I started dog sitting for neighbors, friends and family when I was about 15 years old which included walks, meals, playtime and overnight stays. I’m also comfortable administering insulin injections as well as medications. I have a true passion for animals especially Shelter and Rescue pups (although all pups are perfect!) My husband and I even volunteered on our honeymoon at Vialobos Pitbull Rescue!

I have been lucky to have Keri watch my kitty on 2 occasions and both times she was communicative and took amazing care of her. Highly recommend Keri for all your fur baby needs!

Keri took such great care of my Miso (kitty) while I was away for a work trip. I was very apprehensive about leaving Miso, but Keri gave me updates and was so communicative and set me at ease. When I got back it was clear she had been very well cared for. Very happy to have found someone in the area I can rely on to care of my fur child! ?

Keri was great over our week long trip- she jumped right in during the holiday chaos last minute for us and made sure to update us with pictures of our cats during every visit! definitely will be using her again
