Pet care experience

Champion of the Underdog

I am a 100% WFH functional medicine nutritionist by day and 24/7 animal lover. My compassion in caring for the wellbeing of others is especially apparent in my relationship with dogs - with whom I share a unique bond. Years ago I joined Rover because I was an empty nester and was missing dogs, but now I have one of my own, so your dog would have to get along well with him, be up to date on vaccinations and be on flea treatment. I am a patient, active and caring dog lover. Rover has only brought me great people and dogs and I really want to build a community of safety and trust for their care. I also use Rover for my dog and understand that they are social creatures and really don't like being left alone. My goal is to provide a play care sanctuary for your dog and stress free experience for you while leaving him/her.

Keri was fantastic with Kona. Highly communicative and provided lots of play time. Can’t wait for Kona to visit again!

Keri was amazing. She picked up on so many of Sydney’s individual personality traits and quickly adapted to Sydney’s needs. She sent us daily updates and pictures to ease our minds while on vacation. Sydney got plenty of exercise with daily games of fetch, lots of cuddles and pets, and even a car and ferry ride to Bremerton. We would gladly book Keri again and would highly recommend her if you want your pet to have amazing care with plenty of attention. Thank you, Keri!

Keri was spectacular in her responsiveness and ability to take care of our pup on very short notice during our wedding day. Henry was able to hang out at Keri's rather than having to be crated for the day, which allowed us peace of mind and enjoyment of our special day without worrying about him. She was very flexible to our needs and is a responsible, trustworthy, and caring animal care professional. We can't thank her enough for her help and would recommend her highly.

Keri is five-star-fantastic! From the moment I dropped our fur baby off, I could tell that Bruce was in good hands. Keri kept in touch and sent pictures to me throughout his stay (good ones!). Our Bruce was happy! If you want your pup to be given lots of love while you're away, I recommend Keri. This was my first Rover experience (and was initially nervous), but I instantly felt at ease... like Bruce was having a sleepover at a friend's house (safe & spoiled). Thanks for everything, Keri!

Schedule

I am 100% work from home and very hands on. I don't leave the dogs unattended and give them constant care and attention. I am very sensitive to the needs of a dog and can sense when they need rest, breaks, play or walks. I usually give my dog two walks a day and play time after eating.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, pool in the summer, and A/C. They will have access to outdoor space, shade and indoor space as well. I can crate your dog if he prefers that at nite time. Although my dog just prefers to roam free and pack up with whoever is in the house.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day is a walk in the morning, then breakfast and playtime. My dog is low to moderate energy so there is lots of resting during the day. But when hosting another dog there is definitely more play. I will be carefully monitoring the play at first with any new dog I host and prefer not to host dogs that rough play due to my dogs sensitive joints.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Keri can host up to 1 pet per night
The more I know about your dog the more I can support him. Please let me know if he has any special needs or idiosyncrasies that I can accommodate. All dogs are unique and while I am aware of the traits of most breeds I do not define dogs by breed - but prefer to keep and open mind and get to know them personally.
