Best Friend Boarding

Pet care experience

I have been with Rover since June 2013! Huge yard, with a 5 foot, 4900 sq ft chain link fenced area. My dream job as a child was to be a dog walker in New York. Well, I never made it to New York, but still love all kinds of dogs! I have worked with rescues and fostered dogs and pups in the past. I have also worked at Petsmart as a manager. I have lots of experience in caring for all kinds of dogs. Let me open my heart and home to your best friend! I strongly suggest treating your dog with a flea/tick treatment. I have a lot of wildlife that roams through my yard, and want everyone to stay happy and healthy. I treat my dogs and cats year round because I have dogs coming and going. You can never be too cautious. About this sitter: I am a house wife and recent Heart Transplant recipient. (11/6/17) . I am also a pet owner. I currently have 2 dog and 3 cats. I have always had a pet in my life. I have worked as a foster home. I eventually fostered a dog I couldn't give up. I am kind, caring and patient. Why I love dog sitting I was the little girl who knew all the dogs in the neighborhood and their owners. I remember always having a dog. When I grew up and bought my first house, I went out and found my first friend. Ruby passed at the age of 14. She was my best friend and my daughters "sister". Meet my pets Ellie can be shy with new people but usually gets along with most dogs, as long as they don’t bark in her face or jump on her. 2 of the 4 cats are very social and the other 2 are a little skittish at first. I will not accept a dog that chases cats. About my yard I have a large yard with a 4900 sq ft area, fenced in with a 5 ft chain link fence. My experience administering medication I have administered oral medication, eye drops, ear drops and wound care. I send photos and updates directly to your phone or email.

Kari was great with Gizmo. Made sure to give us updates and pictures/videos everyday we were gone. Very accommodating with dropping off and picking up. Great set up with leaving dogs outside into fenced in area. We would definitely use her services again!!! Thank you Kari.

Kari and Lee did an amazing job with Mara. I got lots of updates, and Kari has so much experience with dogs of all personality types which really helped Mara fit in and feel relaxed. Mara will definitely be back!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is set up for the safety of your pets. I have several gates set up, so that I can keep an eye on them in our single level home. I do not have any stairs. When coming and going and doing drop offs and pick ups, we use our back door. The back door is connected to our porch, which is connected to the large fenced in backyard. Safety is very important.
