Pet care experience

Loving, Energetic Preschool Teacher

Originally from Anchorage, Alaska I grew up outdoors and was raised around animals all my life. I am experienced, high energy, patient, capable, and incredibly loving. As a child we had both large dogs and cats; their feeding and walking was my responsibility. As a teen, I graduated to main care giver of our animals; including exercise, bathing, vet visits and training needs. Ive cared for both cats and dogs from birth, adulthood and senior ages. I’ve helped both cats and dogs give birth, and cared for groups of kittens and puppies. I’ve trained multiple dogs in potty training, socializing, leash, and command work. I am very comfortable with all sizes of animals, large and small. My companions now are a senior cat and dog. I’ve had my 14 y/o Aussy since he was a baby, and we’ve explored the world together, running, hiking and camping. We even roadtripped here from Alaska! My cat is a 16 y/o rescue that we got as an adult. She is small and mighty, and rules our house. I’ve traveled out of town to housesit for friends and family’s animals. I have regularly pet-sat 2 to 5 dogs at a time. And I enjoy a house full of love! Whether you have a high-energy pup that needs a good run and romp outside, or a sweet senior cat or dog that needs cuddle on the couch with a book, I am your lady.

Cari took such good care of Phoenix while I was away. There was endless cuddles, walks, and even a trip to the beach. We will definitely book her services again!

Cari is an incredibly attuned and receptive pet caretaker. She has experience with many different pet temperaments and intuitively responds to individual signals and social dynamics alike. She will care for your pet conscientiously and with kindness.

Cari is one of the most trustworthy and caring people I know. She's patient, responsible and genuinely loves and cares for all animals. Cari takes wonderful care of my cat when I'm away - I know my cat is getting lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Cari to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Cari has been caring for my dog for over 11 years, and I can say without a doubt that she is the most dedicated sitter I’ve ever known. She is a natural nurturer who doesn't just 'watch' pets—she truly loves them as if they were her own. Her passion for animals is evident the moment she walks through the door (and park and beach and you get the point). If you’re looking for someone who will provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment, Cari is the best choice you could make.
