I’m tremendously excited because I have found my fur baby an excellent sitter. Kari has been a heaven sent. It was during an emergency that I found her listed here on Rover. She created a wonderful atmosphere to care for my fur baby while I was away. She followed all my instructions and even sent a photo during his stay. He was a happy bean when I returned to pick him up. I love it, I’ll definitely keep her in mind for my next getaway.

Kari and her family are so wonderful! They took such a great care of our baby while we were traveling for a while. Kari is also very accommodating. We are so thankful that we found Kari and her family as caregivers for Tofu.

Kari and her family accommodated us at the last minute with no problem! We really appreciated that as plans sometimes have to switch up fast. In addition, our dog has diabetes and requires insulin shots twice a day. Kari was more than willing to administer the shots without any hesitation!! That’s also huge for us because we are unable to board our dog at a traditional kennel because they won’t accept dogs with diabetes. Kari and her family were attentive and cared for our dog very well! We will definitely book with her again and would recommend her to others!!
