HOME AWAY FROM HOME K9 CARE

Our Philosophy

Since 2011, we have provided peace of mind to dog parents while they are away from their pups. We have made sure the dogs in our care feel like they are right at home. Being around dogs our entire lives, we understand what is important when you are searching for someone to care for, exercise & train your dog. We want dog owners to feel confident their dogs are being treated like honorary members of our family. That is how we approach the dogs under our care - how we would treat our own dog. With an expansive knowledge of animal care and behavior, we will ensure your dog has a fun and rewarding experience. They will be excited to return again and again. They will love their 2nd home! During their K9 sleepover or pup playdate, your dog will have fun interacting with our family and their new friends. They will have exercise, play, socialization, love & enrichment all throughout the day. They will be the ones on vacation! While they stay with us your pup will have a perfect balance of play, freedom & structure.


Our &home truly becomes your dog's home away from home.

About Kari (owner)

I have always loved animals and animal behavior. I earned my degree in Psychology with an emphasis on learning theory from Arizona State University. I have over 20 years of animal training experience as a marine mammal trainer at SeaWorld & a dog trainer at PetSmart. My experience allows me to create an environment for dogs where they can be happy and relaxed while they are away from their family. I am Proud to say Home Away From Home K9 Care is now in its 13th year! I am supported by my husband, my two sons, and our Weimaraner Hazy. We all work together to make sure your dog ❤️s their 2nd home.
