Highlights
Pet care experience
Fur, fins, and feathers welcome!
▫️Experience▫️ My experience with dogs started as a young teen when I volunteered at service dog training center where we trained dogs to assist people with physical disabilities. Several years later, I took what I learned and started my own boarding and obedience training business, which eventually led to training dogs for tricks that put them on national TV. I’m not currently available for training dogs, but I am available for drop ins. Boarding is available for exotics, birds, or other small caged animals if we have room. I have my own parrots and aquatic turtle so I’m accustomed to handling unique diets, fresh foods, and the specialized care that’s required. Animals I have cared for include: rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, goats, donkeys, chickens, birds, turtles, and fish. (And of course, cats and dogs!)

Ratings and reviews
Kari took great care of our cats — sent photos, was reliable, and the cats clearly loved her. Will definitely book again. Highly recommended!!
We loved having Kari care for our pets. Knowing that she was going by and taking care of them was a relief when we were away from our home. She communicated expertly and we loved receiving the photos of our fur babies. Would highly recommend.
Our pets are always so happy to see Kari. We know that they get lots of genuine love and attention from Kari while we are gone.
Kari is amazing with my guys. She does a great job. They are always happy when I return. Thanks So very much!
The guys love her! We love her!
Our pets love Kari!

Schedule
▫️Schedule▫️ I’m self employed and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible to client needs. I also homeschool two elementary aged children that often accompany me so kid-friendly pets are a must.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
▫️It’s the little things!▫️ I will stick closely to our agreed upon schedule and am happy to do small tasks around the house to make it look like you’re still at home. For example, turning on a porch light or lamp in the evening, bringing in the mail, opening blinds, etc. I will keep your preferred vet’s info on file in case of emergencies and send you daily feedback on how they are doing. My goal is to make sure your companion is safe and comfortable and that you can enjoy your travels guilt-free!
