Reliable and Energetic Care-Taker
Pet care experience
I have lived in several places since I was a child, always surrounded by furry little friends. I have considered cats and dogs to be some of my best friends and always believed that they deserve love, kindness, and equal respect as humans. I am available for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I have raised my own pet friends as well as helped others take care of their animals. I have experience house sitting taking care of my neighbors cats, giving them food, providing companionship, and staying at their house. I have also stayed with my friends German Shepherd, Newfoundland and Yorkie, taking them on walks and bathroom breaks, providing nourishment, and playing with them or simply keeping them company. During my roommates' trips across the country, I cared for their 1 year old Australian Shepherd puppy. Keeping her trained, taking her on walks, and engaging in lots of play. I also have my own experiences of raising a puppy from 5 weeks old through 8 months, as well as 7 kittens and cats since childhood. I am a very responsible, meticulous, observant, gentle, and aware individual who will treat your furry friend with the upmost respect and care. I am flexible and will work with you individually to give you and your pet the unique care that you desire. Note: As a result of COVID, all prices are negotiable. Please contact me.
Reviews
We had an amazing experience with Kari — we booked her last minute to house sit during a week long vacation after our previously booked sitter cancelled due to an emergency. Kari came for a preliminary visit to meet our dog and cat and asked lots of great questions to make sure she could provide the kind of care we were looking for. Throughout our vacation, Kari took great care of both our pets, including our highly energetic border collie puppy, and communicated and sent updates regularly. She took great care of our home and pets all week and we will definitely be booking with her again.
Kari is a reliable and caring dog walker! Kari started walking Tawny during the rainstorms we were having and she showed up reliably to take Tawny out for walks. My dog loves her and looks forward to seeing her through out the week. She is also very easy to communicate with, and she sends me updates on my dog- like when Tawny was acting extra hungry one day, she noticed that and let me know which I appreciate.
Kari has been great to Menina, walking her punctually everyday while I'm work, sending pictures and the walking route thru rover app. Kari is very reliable and follow all given instructions, I'm happy to find someone who takes good care of Menina!
Kari took great care of our kitty Pepper while we were away. This was Kari's first time looking after Pepper and we'd gladly recommend her. She came by for a meet-and-greet beforehand so that we could show her the ropes, and she sent regular updates with photos while we were away letting us know how Pepper was doing.

Availability
Pet care is currently my main gig so I'll have plenty of time for you furry loved ones. My schedule is very flexible and can be dependent on your needs. Note: It's important for me to know the amount of care your pet need as it may affect the price. Ex. During sitting stays, long days are different than short days.
