Pet care experience

I'll love your babies as my own!

I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. Family, friends, neighbors, and friends of friends rely on me to feed, walk, bathe, and stay overnight with their fur babies. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and most importantly, I will love them as if they were my own. I also have experience looking after senior dogs, navigating their mobility issues, administering medications, and adhering to specific dietary needs.

Safety, trust & environment

My specialty is house/pet sitting overnight at a client's home. I am experienced in providing a seamless transition when pet parents leave town, adhering to detailed schedules, diets, medications, and exercise. I am also comfortable collecting mail, buying groceries, and doing light housework.

Kari was a God send. She took excellent care of Prince and Daisy, even with their weird idiosyncrasies. She was patient, loving and kind. We will be rebooking! Thank you, Kari!

We have met Kari twice now and this is the first time we left her with our dog Lucy. We had a positive experience with her. She is always on time and was nice to us and accommodating. My dog seems to really like her and she was able to follow care instructions for my dog. We would like to continue to use Kari; as a matter of fact we already booked her services again.

I booked a meet and greet with Kari. Kari was on time and she was very pleasant and seemed to be a very nice lady. She took her time in talking to us and did not rush us at all. My dog Lucy also liked her very much on their first meeting. We appreciated her coming over for a 30 minute visit as she lives on the other side of town. I think Kari is a good fit for us and will be booking more services with her.

Kari has stayed at our house and cared for our precious kitty cat. She is responsible, trustworthy and caring. Best of all, she loves animals and lavishes them with love and attention. She is an excellent communicator and very professional. I can’t recommend Kari highly enough.

When my husband and I are out of town, we can relax knowing that our fur babies are in excellent hands. Kari has been looking after our Labrador retriever and two cats for several years, and she’s truly exceptional. She understands the quirks of each pet perfectly—comforting our dog during storms, which makes her feel safe, and serving the cats' wet food just the way they like it: centered in the bowl and smoothly mashed. It’s such a relief to know that our home and our pets are safe and well cared for. We wouldn’t trust anyone else.

I'd like to know if your pet has any special dietary needs, behavior needs, quirks, fears, or obsessions that will help me care for them. It helps to know: - If they have a special toy, stuffie, or blanket; - If they have any dietary rules; - If they startle or are scared of any household sounds or appliances or outdoor sounds or sights; - If they are likely to suddenly dart out of an open door; - If there are other dogs/cats they don't get on with in the neighborhood where we would be walking; - If they are OK sleeping in a room with the door closed or prefer to be able to roam around at night; - If they get carsick;
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
