Active Austinite for Canine Caring!

Pet care experience

I have been housesitting and petsitting for many kind folks and their adorable pets throughout the South for the last 5 years and I absolutely love it! I have cared for all kinds of animals throughout these years, from dogs and cats, to turtles, fish, goats, chickens, and birds! I have always been a big animal lover and grew up with dogs, cats, and horses, and LOVE any chance to take care of my friends' animals. I have helped train many now-well behaved dogs in my life. I stay active in my free time with roller derby and kickboxing, so getting out and exercising is NO problem :) I do not reward bad behavior (i.e. leash pulling) but I do LOVE to teach new tricks! I can also take care of your plants and anything else that needs my attention.

Kari is awesome! She was able to help walk my dog Jake on short notice. Very reliable and responsive, thank you for the help!

Kari did a great job with my three hounds. They were happy and calm when I returned. She communicated well and sent lots of updates.

Kari was amazing! She kept me updated and sent frequent pictures of my babies. She did a wonderful job taking care of my 3 pets and house. I definitely recommend her and will use her in the future! Thank you Kari!

Kari was amazing. She was professional, paid attention to detail, and took great care of our dog and house. I would highly recommend her. She seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with our dog and also was consistent in keeping us updated while we were away. Thanks Kari!

Safety, trust & environment

I only sit at the client's home so animals are already comfortable with their surroundings, and take good care to leave your home in as good or better condition than when I started my stay.

Information Kari F. would like to know about your pet

I like to schedule Meet n Greets with all new clients to meet their animals, go over their daily care/routines, and answer any lingering questions.

A typical day

If dogs are not leash-aggressive, I like to take them on short hikes in the Greenbelt, and I love cuddling on the couch. I will always ask before taking them to any public place like a restaurant or brewery.
