Larchmont fur baby joy!
Pet care experience
I have been an animal lover my whole life. My first pet was Sweetie the cat, so-called cause the day we met her at the shelter she just snuggled into my arms. These days I travel too much for work to have my own pets, but when I'm home I Dialect Coach online all day, so caring for fur babies feeds my soul! Friends started asking me to look after their pets when they went out of town cause they knew how much I loved them, and now I can't get enough. It's basically a big love fest in here, with tons of snuggles and walks and chats. Yes, we have deep convos. It's a thing. And did I mention the photos? I take tons of photos & vids to share with you, the fur parents, and show the dog pics to my friends as if I birthed them-HA! That's how much I love having them around!
Reviews
Keri was amazing once again! Lots of updates and activities to keep our Izzy busy and our minds at rest.
Keri was absolutely amazing watching our schnoodle for five nights. She took her all over town for hikes and walks, and she regularly sent photos and updates while we were gone. She’s the best!
Keri was awesome with our girl. She gave us plenty of updates and was able to meet and greet on short notice! I felt so comfortable being from out of town that Keely was in good hands ☺️
Keri is the best and loves all animals like they’re her own. She always takes good care of my fur kids when I’m out of town and makes sure they get plenty of love and attention. She’ll send me photos and videos of them throughout the day, which puts my mind at rest as I’m an overprotective pawrent and I won’t leave my kids with just anyone. If you want some peace of mind that your pets are well taken care of in your absence, then Keri is your person.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a roomy apartment in a beautiful, small, Spanish-style building. There's a small fountain/courtyard area in the center, and there is a front gate, so we can throw a ball around the courtyard. It's a very safe building and I'm friendly with all my neighbors, who are always thrilled to meet my animal guests! Dogs are welcome on the couch and often the bed- if they're more used to sleeping crated I'll usually keep the crate in my bedroom so they don't get lonesome. The neighborhood is beautiful (Larchmont) with tons of other dogs and trees to sniff and say hello to.

Information Keri S. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know any medical needs, favorite toys/activities, and of course their feeding and walking times & frequencies. Favorite spots for pats and scratches would be great! It's also helpful to know anything a dog may be fearful of- certain kinds of noises, objects, people, etc. Plus how they react to other dogs they may encounter, if strangers are allowed to pet them, etc. I want to know it all!
A typical day
Making sure my canine friends get enough exercise, fresh air and cuddles is super important. We kick off the day with a long walk around the neighborhood (Larchmont is lovely!), then breakfast together at home! The rest of the day while I'm coaching the dogs usually are in my lap on the couch or at my feet. They get tons of snuggles. In between we play with whatever their favorite toys are, and for the more active ones we'll play with the ball in the courtyard or in back behind my building. If someone tells me their fur baby is particularly active, I love taking them on a little hike up by Bronson or to the dog park by the reservoir to run around! There's also a lovely little park near my house.
Services
Keri can host
Availability
I personally take 2-3 walks in my neighborhood every day, so that matches up perfectly with my canine friends. The rest of the time I'm at home coaching on the computer and my lap is always available. Clients love seeing the animal observers on Zoom :).
