My doggos had such a great time. I received pictures every day and I felt very comfortable with the experience. Would definitely recommend!

Officially my dog’s favorite sitter! Kari lives on a lovely mini farm, which gave them plenty of space to roam and explore safely. From our very first interaction, she was easy to communicate with and took a genuine interest in getting to know both of my dogs individually. I truly felt she cared for my dogs the way I would care for them. I received regular photos throughout their stay, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away.

Kari was great to work with, easy communication, and lots of photo updates. She took wonderful care of our pup. We would definitely book with her again.

Kari was amazing with Botas, when we first dropped her off, Botas was a little anxious about us leaving, and Kari was kind and understanding. She let us stay for a while in her backyard until Botas calmed down. After that we could tell she had a great time and was very comfortable with her. Kari kept us updated at least twice a day and always sent us pictures and videos. She was very caring, and clearly treated Botas like her own. We would definitely have Botas stay with Kari again. Highly recommend!
