Home away from home for your pup!
Pet care experience
I absolutely love dogs. I have grown up with and taken care of all different dog breeds - small, medium, and large - for my entire life. I currently have a Toller Retriever named Cooper (mid-sized). He is very friendly and can't wait to meet his new best friend! :) I am very active and live just next door to numerous walking trails and parks as well as a fenced, off-leash dog park. I'm happy to do whatever kind of activity your pup enjoys - running, hiking, walking, social play, trips to the beach, etc. and will gladly follow any guidelines or restrictions you have. I am primarily available on nights and weekends, but I do have a flexible job where I can often make visits during the week work. If you make the request, I will do my best to accommodate it! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!
Reviews
Kari took excellent care of our setter!! After a bad kennel experience, it was peace of mind knowing he was so well cared for. I definitely recommend her!
Another great stay with Kari! I love getting her updates (with numerous photos) and her communication is always prompt and professional. I know my pups are in good hands when they're staying with her (and James)! Thank you Kari!
Kari is awesome; I couldn't be happier with how he took care of my son, Jacques (yes I think my dog is my real son lol). She sent me regular updates and pictures of Jacques throughout the day letting me know what they were doing. She also allowed Jacques access to furniture and her own bed, which I appreciate since Jacques loves to sleep as close as possible to humans :) Highly recommend her to all furry parents :)
I really can't say enough positive things about Kari! We're new to the area - and in the past we always had friends to take care of our dogs. Transitioning to Rover with a "stranger" was a little scary. To top it off, we were traveling international AND one of our dogs had surgery just a few days before the trip (poor planning on my part, but it was supposed to just be a teeth cleaning and then turned into an extraction). Of course, I was super anxious to leave them with someone else when medicine was going to be part of daily routine but I can honestly say that I thought about my dogs less on that trip (because of Kari's frequent and thorough updates!) than I have on any other trip where my friends were watching the pups. I know they're in good hands and getting regular exercise - and that is invaluable! An added bonus is that her boyfriend works from home during the day so I know they aren't alone for hours on end. I'm so glad we found Kari (and James)! Thank you for everything!

I live in a very dog-friendly area of Noe Valley, San Francisco! Dogs that stay with me can expect plenty of playtime with my friendly retriever, Cooper, as well as lots of outdoor activity. There are lots of urban walks, parks, and greenery around my apartment and a fenced, off-leash dog park where I can take your pup to play. If your pup is especially active or a lover of the outdoors, I can take him/her on hikes or even trips to the beach as well - whatever they would enjoy most!
