Pet care experience
The best thing for your pet(s) is to keep them in the comfort of their own home while you are away. Less stress & exposure to other animals, illness, etc. I provide a service not all pet sitters do, I come stay overnight in your home to take care of your pet(s) & work from your home. It's also nice to have someone staying in your home for safety, keep an eye on things & I also do other things, besides walking them, play & give them meds, or other care, as needed, water plants, take in mail, etc. upon request & even pu poo in yard:) With my extensive experience & the extras I provide I charge a little more than some other sitters, but like they say, "you get what you pay for":) I work from home, doing real estate so my schedule is pretty flexible. "Have laptop, will travel":) As I can work from your home, I am usually able to spend much of the day & evening caring for your pets, as needed, besides going on appts or meetings. I live in Woodbury & prefer taking jobs close to home so I can check in on my cat. I'm a non-smoker & prefer sitting in non-smoker homes. I have been pet sitting for many years & love it! I have worked for pet sitting companies & also done on my own, for family & friends. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, etc. young & old, with special needs, small & large, from Chihuahuas to Bullmastiffs! So I am use to many types of dogs and comfortable with them. I have administered medications, eye drops, shots, etc. so can do that as well if needed. I take care of your pets as my own! I have fostered animals in my home for a few years for different organizations, including Can Do Canines (currently a "Sitter" for them) & the humane society, so I have experience dealing with animals that have health or behavioral issues. I have had my own pets for over 25 years. I currently have one cat of my own & a neighbor to watch her if needed. Contact me if you would like to know more or would like referrals from past clients. Thanks for reading my profile & considering me to take care of your fur babies!
Reviews
Kari’s care for Rievaulx and our home was outstanding. We had great peace of mind knowing she was there taking care of things. We appreciated the texts and photos that we received multiple times each day. She was very thorough and left our home just as neat and orderly as when we left. We also really appreciated the meet and greet time with her before we went away. This was our first time having her care for our home and dog, so that time with her was so important to us.
Kari did a great job taking care of our 2 fur-babies! One of our dogs has a very hard time with new people and she was SO committed to making sure he was comfortable too! She sent lots of pupdates so we knew they were both doing well. And she also was happy to adapt to their schedule vs. the other way around. All things that made it so much easier on us and them! We appreciated her so much!
Always takes such great care of our pups when we’re gone!
We returned after ten days to find our two cats mello and seemingly satisfied with life - the best testimony to Kari's abilities and attention to them. We greatly appreciate her care and will call upon her again.

I do not take client pets into my home, as it is not allowed as I live in a townhome community. I care for pets in your home based on your normal schedule & habits of your pets, ie. when they eat & need to go outside, whether fenced yard or need walks.
Home
Information Kari O. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know if your pet(s) have any behavioral issues, or quirks that I should be aware of. Don't really have any breed preferences, I see all dogs as special & lovable in their own way!
A typical day
I treat the pets that I care for as thou they are my own; they can sleep with me, or where ever they are most comfortable. As I said in my intro I mostly work from home, so I can be at the house where I am pet sitting during the day & evening, as needed, to let dogs out with their regular schedule. I have a pretty flexible schedule & can usually plan my day & appointments according to the needs of the pet(s). I can take your pups on walks, play ball in the backyard, whatever their normal activities.

Availability
As I mentioned, I work from home & am self employed, so I have flexibility in my schedule, for the most part. I do have some commitments & also am on a Board, which takes one night a week, for a few hours.
