About: I three have senior dogs who require daily medication. I am competent at administering medications, such as insulin injections, pills, ear and eye drops, and topical medications. In addition I have also pet sit for families with elderly animals with special food requirements. I am a big dog lover with a flexible schedule and active lifestyle. I have a very flexible schedule where my afternoons are free most days. I have soccer practice in the mornings and class Tuesday and Thursdays at night. I have stayed in clients homes on different occasions, where I am very clean, respectful, and responsible. I always leave the home cleaner then when I arrived.

About: I have cared for dogs for over 40 years. My last dog required 2 shots a day and many oral pills. I am experienced with all aspects of puppy and dog care. My dog has allergies, so I understand how important diet is. I have volunteered at Canine Companions Service Dogs, and I learned a lot there. Your babies will be my number one priority while I care for them. My schedule is completely open. In the past I have worked in the technology field, but at this time I am not employed outside my home. My children are grown up and I can focus on your pets 100%. I can provide any kind of care your pet needs. My last dog had diabetes and required 2 injections a day and other medications. I have pet sitter for cats with serious health issues requiring pills and trips to the client’s vet. I understand how important diet is, as my pet has an allergy. I love playing with animals as well.
“Karina was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter—thoughtful, caring, and incredibly attentive. She went above and beyond, sending me regular photos and videos of my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, I was touched to find a heartfelt note from her, showing just how much she truly cares. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky to have found her! Highly recommend!”
“Love Joni. She came to stay with our gurl and wasn't at all intimidated by our 100lb ridgeback. She is definitely a dog-person and our Princess took to her right away. Joni communicated with us regularly and sent photos, assuring us that all was well. We were in sketchy cell area so when those notes came in it was such a relief. Highly recommend Joni!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and care for them with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors — and I adjust my care based on each dog’s individual needs and energy. What sets me apart is my calm presence and emotional sensitivity. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, understood, and completely at peace, just like they would with family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I do some local deliveries during the day, but I always come home for lunch and stay nearby. In the evenings, I’m always home, so your dog will have plenty of company, care, and attention throughout the day and especially at night. I offer a peaceful, clean, and welcoming home where your dog will always feel comfortable and cared for. I only take one dog at a time, so they receive my full attention and a stress-free environment. Dogs are free to rest wherever they feel most at ease — on the couch, the bed, or their own cozy spot. I stay nearby during the day and am always home in the evenings to ensure they’re never left alone. Their routine, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

As a university student taking online courses, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust my availability to fit your pet's needs I will ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your pet by following your instructions carefully. I will provide supervision, regular walks, and a loving atmosphere.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was unsure what to expect. Kimari was the best, Dante was good with her immediately, because he’s a rescue he generally barks at everyone A LOT and ALL THE TIME! But not with Kimari - she helped us out for a week and I would use her again for sure. Thank you so much for showing Dante so much attention and keeping us in the loop with pictures and videos.”
