Book with me, be worry-free! 🐶🐱

Pet care experience

I go above and beyond for all fur babies because they deserve it! and that’s what sets me apart from other sitters 💛 My true passion in life is making sure animals feel loved and cared for hands down. I have extensive experience in caring for all types of dogs and cats -big & small, young & old- since I was a child. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to provide TLC for their pets. I grew up with several dogs and cats at home as my parents were avid dog lovers. I was always surrounded by their love and it was like no other! Unconditional! Animals and I bond instantly! My mom started her own house sitting business for animals. I loved helping her and I gained a lot of knowledge and experience. I can administer oral and intravenous medication. I have taken care of sick dogs and nursed them back to health. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and are the highest priority to me!

Kari was fabulous - she stayed in great communication from booking through sitting. She was flexible with some unique circumstances, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of our fur babies while we were away. We have a 16 year old senior who requires a little extra attention and she did not bat an eye. I will definitely book her again if we need a dog sitter in the future.

We are so thrilled to have found Kari. She was the absolute perfect person to care for our kitty who was recovering from post-surgery complications. We were nervous to leave Simba after everything that happened to him recently, but Kari assuaged all of our fears. Kari took such great care of him, following his annoyingly strict medicine and food schedule. She watched for any litterbox issues. She stayed in constant contact with us and sent so many photos showing us how happy Simba was to have her there. Kari also left our house in immaculate condition and brought in packages. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing sitter and can't wait for her to care for Simba in the future! Thank you, Kari!
