Highlights
Pet care experience
Home away from home
I've always loved dogs, and have had my own in the past. My goal is for your dogs' stay with us to be as comfortable as possible by caring for them the same way they are cared for at home. So if they kennel at night and/or while you're out of the house, or if they don't, I follow what they are used to, so not to cause any unnecessary stress while you're away. Same goes for walks, feeding, being allowed on furniture or not etc. Its important to me to keep the same practices that you use at home, in place so not to undo any training or behavior modification you have done, nor force them to adhere to a routine or practice that is uncomfortable or foreign to them. Over the past couple of years, I've started traveling a lot more often so having my own pets is no longer an option, but I am the person who always asks to pet your dog if I see you out on a trail taking yours for a walk, and have always been the first to offer to watch friends, family member's and co-worker's dogs when they go out of town, so doing Rover was perfect for me when I learned about it because I get to love on other people's dogs and can adjust my availability if I am going to be out of town. Belly rubs, snuggles, tug of war and fetch are some of our favorite things to do with pups, as well as take them for walks in Bunker Hills which is a 2 minute walk from our house :)

Ratings and reviews
Another great week of Kari watching our dogs Izzy and Archie! We always know the pups are in great hands with her and her family 😊 Thanks Kari!
Another great job by Kari. She always goes above and beyond in taking care of our pets!
Kari did a great job caring for our dog and 3 cats. She was prompt, communicative, and provided nice pictures. None of our pets seemed at all stressed out by our being away for 5 days. The house was clean and orderly when we returned. All of our instructions were followed exactly. We wouldn't hesitate to engage Kari again.
Thanks for taking care of our boy Bentley at the last minute. He came home happy and healthy and with a new favorite toy! 😊 We recommend Kari (and her family, for it is a family affair) to anyone looking for a good sitter.
Kari is a good communicator and provided several photos while watching our pup.
This was our second time having Kari watch our Shih Tzu mix pups, Izzy and Archie, for 6 nights. They once again had a wonderful stay! We are very picky about our pet sitters and Kari continues to meet all of the marks. We appreciated the updates, photos, and most importantly, Kari's adaptability to their home routines. One of our pups got diagnosed with a chronic dry eye condition shortly before our stay and Kari had no problem applying the eye ointment daily. Thank you to Kari and her family for making Izzy and Archie so comfortable! 😊

Schedule
When I'm not traveling (which is when my calendar shows availability) I work from home 95% of the time, with the exception of the 2X a month that I need to go to the office for a half day. I'm able to provide potty breaks every 2 hours if needed, and can feed on a schedule.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a 4 level home, 2 of which are spacious, "main living area" levels which allows plenty of room for pups (in addition to my fenced in back yard) but the secondary living area also allows for easy separation of pups during feeding time or when I need to leave the house etc.
A typical day
Bunker Hills is super close to my house, so that's my favorite place to go with pups. There is also an off-leash dog park nearby so sometimes we go there as well. Of course, if you didn't want your pet to be off leash we don't have to go to it :)
