Pet care experience

Life long animal lover

I've always been around animals since I was young. I grew up on a farm caring for dogs and cats along with many other traditional farm animals. I know how important furry friends can be and want to love on them in the moments that you can't. We are a family of animal-lovers who will gladly love your pet while you're away.

Boarding • Jun 14, 2026

Our dogs had the best vacation! We received pictures and detailed updates multiple times a day. My terrier mix is a total ham for attention and he’s flopped on someone’s lap or running around having the time of his life in every picture. My Pom usually ignores small kids because of previous experiences with overexcited ones so I was shocked that in many photos I got she was curled up on a little lap and loving their attention. We will definitely be booking with Kari again whenever we need help- I’m excited for Duchess to have more experience with well behaved and patient kids so she can override any hesitancy she had before. Overall our dogs were comfortable, happy, and got plenty of exercise and attention. Thank you Kari! :)

Kari and the entire family were amazing, as always! Our senior cat, Bella, got lots of love and attention. She also came home well fed, which says a lot at her age! She is clearly very comfortable and well cared for in their home. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I'm a stay-at-home mama with plenty of time to care for your pups and kitties! I love being outside, exploring, and going for walks which would gladly involve your dog, if desired. Evening/Weekend boarding is also a regular option with our schedule. My husband, Jonathan Kozak, also works from home some days and will be joining in caring for your pets.
