Availability
My rates are a reflection of my ability and availability to care for your pets nearly 24/7. I feel that this arrangement is more stabilizing for pets who may otherwise feel anxious about being without their humans. If you have the rare, truly low-maintenance, happy go lucky pet situation, 😊 let's talk about it. Perhaps we can work something out.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether your pets run the home or you run the pets (and everywhere in between), I will treat your pets how YOU want them to be taken care of. I'm happy to continue whatever training methods you use while you're away or lay on the couch with them "all day," if that is what your pet is used to. I accept and discount multiple-pet homes, especially if there is a fenced in yard or they already walk well on a leash. Your animals will be well loved and cared for!
Information Cari R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pets have any special needs or destructive behaviors. Honest and open communication is important for your loved ones to receive the best care they deserve. I am here to help, not judge!
A typical day
My goal is to keep your established routines in place while you're away. If your dog loves car rides, or is a chill regular at an off-leash park, that can be arranged!

Pet care experience
I am an experienced home sitter with the ability to handle daily needs and emergencies competently, who is at the top of anyone's list when asked who they most associate with animal love and care. I pride myself on connecting with pets on their level while following pet owner requests with exact detail. Don't be shy about asking for your own expectations of what care would look like - all of us have quirks or different ways of treating our pets and most pets have some behavior issues. The only animals that I will not accept are those which require above-average exercise, such as jogging or biking. I am extremely respectful of privacy and my only interest is getting to know your pet(s) and keeping them safe, happy and satisfied. My schedule is flexible and I work from home so your fur babies would not be crated/left alone for more than a couple of hours at a time when necessary. 'Leave it better than you found it' is my general motto. While dogs are my main love, I am happy to sit for cats, fish, turtles, birds, hamsters, reptiles etc. as well. Let's connect - I can't wait to meet your pets and make sure we're a match.

Reviews
Cari was very conscientious and a great communicator. Our dogs loved her and were calm and relaxed when we got home. We will definitely use her services again!

Cari took excellent care of our dog Hannah while we were away for a week! She was communicative with daily updates and we knew that Hannah was in good hands. She was also house sitting and left our house in immaculate condition. She washed the bedding and towels used and it was like no one had been in the house when we got back. Would highly recommend Cari for dog and house sitting!


Cari is absolutely amazing! She is warm and conscientious and took the time to get to know our cat and dog with their various quirks! Great communicator. I did not worry about the pets for the entire trip! Not only was she great with the animals, she took care of the house and even folded laundry/sheets we left in the dryer.
Cari has cared for my black lab, Bear, several times and she is an outstanding caregiver! What was more impressive though than the excellent work she did on short stays was how she took responsibility for the care of the property when I had an extended travel for a month. While I was gone, the heating system needed service and, after checking with me on what I wanted to have done, she handled the interaction with the contractor exceptionally well. She also had to deal with the snow removal company that was not fulfilling their contract to keep the driveway clear. In short, Cari stepped up to handle all aspects of property management that needed attention in my absence. She communicates extremely well, is very trustworthy, and gave me peace of mind that not only was Bear being given exceptional care, but also that I was going to return home to a property that was functioning well and, frankly, cleaner than when I had left it in her care. Highly recommend!
